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.

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.
