We present information on the current optical performance of NICMOS camera 3 (NIC3) at J, H, and K, obtained without moving the HST secondary mirror, i.e. the performance obtainable today, outside a NIC3 “campaign”. We also assess the performance that can be expected if the HST secondary is refocused to bring NIC3 into focus. Observers with programs that use NIC3 should use this information to determine whether their observations must be done in a NIC3 “campaign” with the secondary mirror refocused, or they can proceed outside the campaign. If a program can be executed outside a campaign, it becomes considerably easier to schedule and therefore the likelihood that it can be completed within the NICMOS lifetime increases. Note that the first NIC3 campaign is scheduled for the end of January 1998, with a second to follow later that year. We also make additional recommendations for observers in section 5.
