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.

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.
