Requirements

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the NASA Grant Handbook section,

blanks and add a place to identify the share dollars for the funding 
and non-cash contributions by both parties.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective August 31, 2006.

Procurement, Contract Management Division; (202) 358-0302; e-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The NASA Grant Handbook at Sec.  1274.904 identifies how NASA and a 
Cooperative Agreement recipient will share in providing the resources 
necessary to perform a cooperative agreement. Currently, the provision 
contains two blanks that do not identify the unit of measure associated 
with the blanks and does not provide a space for the associated dollar 
amounts. This final rule makes the corrective editorial changes.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    NASA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the 
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
because the changes merely make editorial corrections to existing 
coverage in the Grant Handbook.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does 
not impose any new recordkeeping or information collection 
requirements, or collection of information from offerors, contractors, 
or members of the public that require the approval of the Office of
