SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The information will be used to determine whether NASA personnel 
have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus and to track and trace their 
interactions across the NASA community for identifying possible points 
of exposure.
    Those individuals that volunteer, will be contacted by a NASA 
Contact Tracer, a to-be-designated NASA healthcare employee, and will 
be first read the privacy act, to understand their rights and what this 
information will be used for. Then they will be asked, orally, to 
confirm if they have symptoms or not (yes/no question). The Tracer will 
then enter that information, as well as the names, phone numbers, and 
emails of those they have been in contact with into the newly developed 
tracking and tracing digital application on NASA's enterprise solution, 
Salesforce.
    While participation is voluntary, it is strongly encouraged as 
failure to provide the requested information may result in potential 
increased exposure of personnel to the virus.
    NASA may share this information for authorized purposes with (1) 
private or other government health care providers or agencies for 
referral or special program responsibilities, and (2) other entities 
outlined under standard routine uses for all NASA systems of records.

II. Methods of Collection

    The voluntary data is collected orally by a NASA Contact Tracer, a 
to-be-designated NASA healthcare employee, who will then enter all the 
information into the newly developed tracking and tracing digital 
application on NASA's enterprise solution, Salesforce.

    The ability for the Tracer to keep records through this electronic 
method will ensure higher rate of inclusion and assists in the 
efficiency of the stages of report processing by human subject matter 
analysts.
