SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting System is the
basic financial medium for contractor reporting of estimated and
incurred costs, providing essential data for projecting costs and hours
to ensure that contractor performance is realistically planned and
supported by dollar and labor resources. The data provided by these
reports is an integral part of the Agency's accrual accounting and cost
based budgeting system. Respondents are reimbursed for associated cost
to provide the information, per their negotiated contract price and
associated terms of the contract. There are no ``total capital and
start-up'' or ``total operation and maintenance and purchase of
services'' costs associated since NASA policy requires that data
reported is generated from the contractors' existing system. The
contractors' internal management system shall be relied upon to the
maximum extent possible. Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of this
information collection. They will also become a matter of public
record.
II. Methods of Collection
NASA collects this information electronically and that is the
preferred manner, however information may also be collected via mail or
fax.
