SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    To ensure accurate reporting of Government-owned, contractor-held 
property on financial statements and to provide information necessary 
for effective property management in accordance with FAR Part 45, NASA 
collects information on an annual basis. The information is collected 
to validate official property records maintained by NASA contractors. 
The information is submitted via the NASA Form 1018, at the end of each 
fiscal year. NASA reimburses its contractors for the cost to prepare 
and submit the annual reports.
    This 30-day FRN reflects a change in the information published in 
the 60-day FRN. Specifically, it reflects an increase in the estimated 
number of respondents as well as an increase in the estimate number of 
burden hours. The estimated annual cost to the government is also 
reflected.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic.

    Title: NASA Property in the Custody of Contractors.
    OMB Number: 2700-0017.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
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 
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
