SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection is required by NASA SBIR/STTR contractors to 
complete and submit a recertification of program compliance prior to 
final payment under the contracts. It is believed that this will hold 
contractors more accountable to Federal statues and reduce fraud.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents (SBIR/STTR contractors) provide unformatted re-
certification information showing compliance to program requirements as 
required by the NASA FAR Supplement, Section 1852.232-83, Conditions 
for Final Payment--SBIR and STTR Contracts. The certification can be 
sent by e-mail or regular post.
