SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of 
Diversity and Equal Opportunity and the Office of Procurement, in 
accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of 
the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 
of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, requires grant 
awardees to submit an assurance of non-discrimination (NASA Form 1206) 
as part of their initial grant application package. The requirement for 
assurance of nondiscrimination compliance associated with federally 
assisted programs is long standing, derives from civil rights 
implementing regulations, and extends to the grant recipient's sub-
grantees, contractors, successors, transferees, and assignees. Grant 
selectees are required to submit compliance information triennially 
when their award period exceeds 36 consecutive months. This information 
collection will also be used to enable NASA to conduct post-award civil 
rights compliance reviews.
