SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The information will be used by the Office of External Relations 
for export control oversight as well as by the NASA 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.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents provide information for specific data fields. Data are 
provided via hard copy or electronic mail to a NASA representative who 
transfers the information into a database. To insure data security, 
access to the electronic data entry form is limited to approved NASA 
civil servants or contract employees. Thus, direct data entry by 
respondents is impossible. Original copies of support documents are 
required and downloaded and attached to each visit request for archive 
purposes or auditing.
