SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the proposed rule published Friday, October 31, 2003 (68 FR 
62031-62033), NASA proposed to amend the NASA Grant and Cooperative 
Agreement Handbook to include a requirement for the electronic 
submission of abstracts of the planned research to be conducted under 
grants and cooperative agreements containing research and development 
(R&D) effort valued at over $25,000.
    The proposed rule added a new provision, 1260.40, NASA Research and 
Development (R&D) Abstracts, and related instructions, 1260.18, NASA 
Research and Development (R&D) Abstract Collection, to the Grant and 
Cooperative Agreement Handbook. The new provision provided for the 
collections of abstracts or summaries for NASA-funded-awards with R&D 
effort greater than $25,000. The requirements of section 207(g) of the 
E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347) provide the basis for this 
change. Section 207(g) mandates the development and maintenance of a 
repository that integrates information on research and development 
funded by the FederalGovernment. In furtherance of this requirement, 
NASA established a Web-based database system to collect summaries or 
abstracts for all the Agency's procurements containing research and 
development effort valued over $25,000. A NASA Web site was also 
established for recipients of NASA R&D grants and cooperative 
agreements to enter their abstract data. The proposed rule is withdrawn 
because the automation of the requirements of section 207(g) of the E-
Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347) voids the need for the 
proposed rule.
