NASA FAR Supplement: Safety and
Health Measures and Mishap
Reporting
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
NASA proposes to amend the
NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) to revise
a current clause related to safety and
health measures and mishaps reporting
by narrowing the application of the
clause, resulting in a decrease in the
reporting burden on contractors while
reinforcing the measures contractors at
NASA facilities must take to protect the
safety of their workers, NASA
employees, the public, and high value
assets. The revision to this proposed
rule is part of NASA’s retrospective plan
under Executive Order (EO) 13563
completed in August 2011.
DATES: Interested parties should submit
written comments to the address shown
below on or before October 13, 2015 to
be considered in the formation of the
final rule.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NFS clause at 1852.223–70,
Safety and Health, is currently used
when the—
• Contractor’s work will be
conducted completely or partly on
premises owned or controlled by the
Government;
• Work includes construction,
alteration, or repair of facilities in
excess of the simplified acquisition
threshold;
• Work, regardless of place of
performance, involves hazards that
could endanger the public, astronauts
and pilots, the NASA workforce
(including contractor employees
working on NASA contracts), or high
value equipment or property, and the
hazards are not adequately addressed by
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) or Department
of Transportation (DOT) regulations (if
applicable); or
• Assessed risk and consequences of
a failure to properly manage and control
the hazard(s) warrants use of the clause.
The clause may be excluded,
regardless of place of performance,
when the contracting officer, with the
approval of the installation official(s)
responsible for matters of safety and
occupational health, determines that the
application of OSHA and DOT
regulations constitutes adequate safety
and occupational health protection.
Similar requirements apply to the flow
down of the clause to subcontracts.
In addition to requiring the contractor
to report certain mishaps or close calls,
the clause currently requires the
contractor to investigate these incidents
and provide a report to the contracting
officer both reporting on the incident
and corrective action taken in response
to the incident. The clause also contains
reporting requirements related to the
contract safety and health plan which is
required under certain NASA contracts
as set forth in 1823.7001(c).
While the clause requires the
contractor to take all reasonable safety
and occupational health measures in
