FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument(s) and instructions should
be directed to Gatrie Johnson, NASA
Clearance Officer, NASA Headquarters,
300 E Street SW, JF0000, Washington,
DC 20546 or email Gatrie.Johnson@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request to renew OMB
control number 2700–0092. This
collection is required to ensure proper
accounting of Federal funds and
property provided under financial
assistance awards (grants and
cooperative agreements). Reporting and
recordkeeping are prescribed at 2 CFR
part 1800 for awards issued to
nonprofits, institutions of higher
educations, government, and
commercial firms when cost sharing is
not required and 14 CFR part 1274 for
awards issued to commercial firms
when cost sharing is required.

II. Methods of Collection
Proposals are submitted through the
NASA Solicitation and Proposal
Integrated Review and Evaluation
System (NSPIRES) or Grants.gov. The
use of these systems reduces the need
for proposers to submit multiple copies
to the agency. It allows proposers to
submit multiple proposals to different
funding announcements without
registering each time. Electronic funds
transfer is used for payment under
Treasury guidance, for commercial firms
and through the HHS Payment
Management System (PMS) for other
recipients. In addition, NASA
encourages the use of computer
technology and is participating in
Federal efforts to extend the use of
information technology to more
Government processes.
Basis of Estimate
Approximately 6,100 NASA financial
assistance awards are open at any one
time. It is estimated that out of the 7,100
proposals received each year, NASA
awards approximately 1,600 new
awards. The period of performance for
each financial assistance award is
usually three to five years. NASA had
approximately 120 awards with
commercial firms. Commercial firms
submit quarterly payment requests
directly to NASA, while other recipients
submit the Federal Financial Reports
(SF 425) on a quarterly basis to the HHS
PMS. Performance, Property, and Patent
Reports are filed annually. Historical
records indicate that, on average, 1,625
changes are submitted annually. The

total number of respondents is based on
the average number of proposals that are
received each year and the average
number of active grants that are
managed each year. The total number of
hours spent on each task was estimated
through historical records and
experience of former recipients. Using
past calculations, the total cost was
estimated using the average salary
(wages and benefits) for a GS–12 step 5.
III. Data

Grants and Cooperative Agreements.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of NASA, including
whether the information collected has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NASA’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including automated
collection techniques or the use of other
forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection.
They will also become a matter of
public record.
