SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract: This is a request to renew OMB control number 2700-
0092. This collection is required to ensure proper accounting of
Federal funds and property provided under financial assistance awards
(grants and cooperative agreements) per 2 CFR 200--Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards. 2 CFR 200, subparts A through F, applies to all
NASA award recipients except for for-profit organizations. Only
subparts A through D of 2 CFR 200 apply to for-profit organizations.
Reporting and recordkeeping are prescribed at 2 CFR part 1800--Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards. The requirements in 2 CFR part 1800 are applicable to
awards that NASA issues to non-Federal entities, government, for-profit
organization, and foreign organizations as allowed by 2 CFR 200.101,
Applicability.
II. Methods of Collection: Grant and cooperative agreement
proposals are submitted electronically through the NASA Solicitation
and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) or
<a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a>. The use of these systems reduces the need for proposers to
submit multiple copies to the agency. Proposers may submit multiple
proposals and notices of intent to different funding announcements
without registering in NSPIRES each time.
Basis of Estimate
Approximately 7000 NASA financial assistance awards are open at any
one time. It is estimated that out of the 9,900 proposals received each
year, NASA awards approximately 1,977 new awards. The period of
performance for each financial assistance award is usually three to
five years. Performance reports are filed annually, and historical
records indicate that, on average, 1,625 changes to these reports are
submitted annually. The total number of respondents is based on the
average number of proposals that are received each year and the average
number of active grants and cooperative agreements that are managed
each year. The total number of hours spent on each task was estimated
through historical records and experience of former recipients. Using
past calculations, the total cost was estimated using the average
salary (wages and benefits) for a GS-12 step 5.
III. Data

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques
or the use of other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized

collection. They will also become a matter of public record.
