Please let LANCE know if you plan to attend using the registration form. The Naval Research Laboratory will host the meeting at their campus in Monterey. To enter the facilities you will need to fill out the NRL Visit Request Form ahead of the meeting. The deadlines for submitting NRL visit request forms are: - US Citizens: 3-5 days out Undo
- Foreign Nationals (or dual citizens): 30 days.
- Foreign Government: takes longer, if there is anyone in this category.
- NRL employees: do not have to submit
For more information see the NRL Monterey visitor information page: https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/visit.html And here is the link that goes directly to the NRL Visit Request form: https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/docs/NRLMRY_Visit_Request_Form.docx When completing the form please note: - POC: Dr. Edward J. Hyer, Edward.hyer@nrlmry.navy.mil, (831)656-4023
- Purpose of visit: “NASA LANCE User Working Group meeting hosted at NRLMRY”
- Authorizing official: Someone from the visitor’s organization. Visit requests to NRLMRY must be signed by someone from the visitor’s organization indicating they are aware of the visit. The general guidance is “whoever has to sign to authorize your travel should sign your visit request.” The intention is that the visitor will get the form signed by their direct supervisor, indicating that the organization has authorized the visit. When dealing with non-military organizations, it is not always obvious who should sign the form. In some cases like solo contractors, the traveler has signed that part themselves, but that is not encouraged.
- Degree of Access Required: UNCLASSIFIED
- The form should be submitted by Fax or vis Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) - as outlined on the top of the form. If you have any problems sending the form via fax or SAFE, please contact diane.e.trakas@nasa.gov and selene.r.annadale@nasa.gov and they should be able to assist.
