SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The information will be used by the Headquarters Office of Security 
and Program Protection (OSPP) to help fulfill its responsibilities for 
facilitating business visits and assignments that support U.S. national 
interests and NASA's international program interests and operational 
requirements, and by the Office of External Relations for export 
control oversight. This information is collected and stored in the NASA 
Foreign National Management System (NFNMS) and will be used by OSPP to 
determine acceptability for a foreign national, or U.S. citizen 
representing a foreign entity, to access NASA installations or 
facilities for business or high level protocol visit purposes.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents provide unformatted information for specific data 
fields. Data are provided orally, via a hard copy, or e-mailed to a 
NASA representative who transfers the information into a database 
(attached is a printout of the NASA Foreign Nationals Management System 
data entry form). To ensure data security, access to the electronic 
data entry form is limited to approved NASA employees or contractors. 
Direct data entry by respondents is not permitted.
