SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    To ensure accurate reporting of Government-owned, contractor-held 
property on the financial statements and to provide information 
necessary for effective property management, NASA obtains summary data 
annually from the official Government property records maintained by 
its contractors, on the NASA Form 1018, as of the end of the fiscal 
year.

II. Method of Collection

    Contractors are only required to transcribe summary information 
from the records they maintain on the NASA Form 1018. Beginning with 
reporting for FY 1999, NASA implemented the NF 1018 Electronic 
Submission System (NESS), a Web-based system, for NF 1018 reporting.

IV. Request for Comments

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
