effectiveness of these principles in the
conduct of a cost comparison?
4. In 2010, the Department of Defense
established business rules for use in
estimating and comparing the full costs
of military and civilian manpower and
contract support. See Directive-Type
Memorandum (DTM) 09–007,
‘‘Estimating and Comparing the Full
Costs of Civilian and Military
Manpower and Contract Support,’’
available at https://www.dtic.mil/whs/
directives/corres/pdf/DTM–09–007.pdf.
What, if any, principles might be
considered for adoption governmentwide?
C. Small Business Considerations
Section 1655 of the NDAA for FY
2013 requires OMB to publish
procedures and methodologies to be
used by Federal agencies with respect to
decisions to convert a function being
performed by a small business concern
to performance by a Federal employee,
including procedures and
methodologies for determining which
contracts will be studied for potential
conversion.
Section 5–3 of Policy Letter 11–01
includes management guidance in
connection with small business
contracting. Specifically, section 5–3:
• Instructs agencies to place a lower
priority on reviewing work performed
by small businesses where the work is
not inherently governmental and where
continued contractor performance does
not put the agency at risk of losing
control of its mission or operations,
especially if the agency has not recently
met, or currently is having difficulty
meeting, its small business goals;
• encourages agencies to involve their
small business advocates if considering
the insourcing of work currently being
performed by small businesses; and
• instructs agencies that make a
management decision to insource work
that is currently being performed by
both small and large businesses, to
apply the ‘‘rule of two’’ to the work that
will continue to be performed by
contractors (the rule of two calls for a
contract to be set aside for small
businesses when at least two small
businesses can do the work for a fair
market price).
1. What additional factors might be
considered, if any, in addition to those
identified in Policy Letter 11–01, to
determine where it may be appropriate
to insource work that is otherwise
suitable for performance by a small
business contractor?
2. Section 1655 also requires OMB’s
guidance to address procedures and
methodologies for estimating and
comparing costs. If a situation arises

where it is appropriate to consider a
cost-based insourcing of work currently
being performed by a small business, to
what extent, if any, should costing
procedures and methodologies differ
from those used to evaluate the cost
effectiveness of other than small
businesses?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
In accordance with Executive Order
13506 establishing the White House
Council on Women and Girls, the
Women@NASA Program was created to
provide mentoring opportunities in
science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) disciplines for female
students. To support the White House
Educate to Innovate campaign, the
Women@NASA Program was expanded

to offer an equivalent program for young
males called NASA Building
Outstanding Young Scientists (BOYS).
Both programs are designed to engage
underrepresented rising 5th–8th grade
students in a one-on-one virtual
mentoring experience, under parental/
adult supervision, one hour per week
for a five-week period. Participants will
be selected from a diverse set of
geographical locations across the USA.
This clearance request pertains to the
collection of information associated
with the administration of electronic
application forms, parental consent
forms, and pre and post parent/student
surveys. Surveys are designed to gauge
participant interest in STEM subjects
before and after the virtual mentoring
experience, measure the program
impact, access the effectiveness of the
virtual mentoring approach and identify
opportunities for improvement.

embraces teamwork. This event is
inspired by the original lunar rover that
piloted across the Moon’s surface in the
early 1970’s. Participating students will
design a vehicle that addresses a series
of engineering problems similar to
problems faced by the original
Moonbuggy. Comments are invited on
