SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA Ames Research Center, Human Systems Integration Division, 
manages voluntary safety reporting systems to collect and share safety 
information including, but not limited to, the NASA Aviation Safety 
Reporting System (ASRS) and the Confidential Close Call Reporting 
System (C3RS). Both systems are voluntary reporting systems for the 
reporting of safety incidents, events, or situations. Respondents 
include, but are not limited to, any participant involved in safety-
critical domains such as aviation or railway operations including 
commercial and general aviation pilots, drone operators, air traffic 
controllers, flight attendants, ground crews, maintenance technicians, 
dispatchers, train engineers, conductors, and other members of the 
public. The collected safety data are used by NASA, Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA), and other organizations that are engaged 
in research and the promotion of safety. The data are used to (1) 
Identify deficiencies and discrepancies so that these can be remedied 
by appropriate authorities, (2) Support policy formulation and planning 
for improvements and, (3) Strengthen the foundation of human factors 
safety research. Respondents are not reimbursed for associated cost to 
provide the information.
    NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's 
communication function in accordance with the Space Act Section 203 
(a)(3) to ``provide for the widest practicable and appropriate 
dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results 
thereof,'' and to enhance public understanding of, and participation 
in, the nation's aeronautical and space program in accordance with the 
NASA Strategic Plan.

II. Methods of Collection
