PURPOSE

The purpose of this Marshall Procedural Requirements (MPR) is to define the process for accomplishing the responsibilities of the MSFC Center Management Council (CMC). The CMC normally convenes as a result of activities driven by MPR 7120.1. Responsibilities of the CMC are defined in MPD 1150.1, Charter MC-08. 

APPLICABILITY

a. This MPR applies to Center personnel, programs, projects, and activities, including contractors and resident agencies to the extent specified in their respective contracts or agreements. ("Contractors," for purposes of this paragraph, include contractors, grantees, Cooperative Agreement recipients, Space Act Agreement partners, or other agreement parties.)

b. This MPR applies to the Michoud Assembly Facility.

c. This MPR applies the following: all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission, "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required, "will" denotes expected outcome, and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.

d. This MPR applies the following: all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.

e. Applicability extends to all proposed and established MSFC-managed Programs, projects, and activities (P/p/a's) as defined by NPR 7120.5, 7120.7 or 7120.8 and this document. NASA Programs and Projects are classified into three investment areas or product lines: Research and Technology, Space Flight, and Information Technology (IT) and institutional infrastructure.

f. As directed by the CMC Chairperson, applicability can be expanded to include any other Center initiatives, or review content may be delegated down to lower-level organizational forums for specific P/p/a's.
