SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    NASA collects information from grant and cooperative agreement 
awardees (institutions of higher education and other non-profit 
organizations) to ensure the proper accounting of federal property 
within their use/control. The information is used by NASA to maintain 
an effective internal control system and comply with the Chief 
Financial Officer Act regarding the accountability of Federal funds, 2 
CFR chapters I and II/OMB Guidance for Grants and Cooperative 
Agreement, and reporting and record keeping per 14 CFR part 1260.74, 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements.
    The information submitted by recipients is an annual report of 
Government-owned property in the possession of educational or nonprofit 
institutions holding NASA grants. In addition to the annual report, a 
property report may also be required at the end of the grant, or on the 
occurrence of certain events. The collected information is used by NASA 
to effectively maintain an appropriate internal control system for 
equipment and property provided or acquired under grants and 
cooperative agreements with institutions of higher education and other 
nonprofit organizations, and to comply with statutory requirements.

II. Methods of Collection

    Grant and Cooperative Agreement awardees submit annual property 
reports via an automated NASA Form 1018 by way of the NASA Electronic 
Submission System (NESS).
