SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NASA hosts/sponsors numerous events on federally owned/leased
property which are open to NASA affiliates and members of the public.
The events include but are not limited to meetings, conferences,
briefings, public outreach activities, tours, focus groups, etc.
Visitor access is substantiated by a credentialed NASA sponsor who
validates the visitor's need to access a building/area, guest
networking services, etc. for a specific event/purpose. Information is
collected to validate identity and enable intermittent access to
activities.
The NASA Office of Protective Services transitioned to a one-NASA
process to manage access for visitors with an affiliation less than 30-
days.
NASA may collect event registration information to include but not
limited to a visitor's name, address, citizenship, biometric data,
purpose of visit, the location to be visited, escort/sponsor name with
contact data, and preferred meeting/event sessions when options are
available. When parking is provided on federally owned/leased space,
driver's license information as well as vehicle make/model/tag
information will be collected.
When visitors/vendors are permitted to bring equipment and/or event
set-up materials such as booths and displays, information will be
collected to issue property passes and coordinate equipment/property
delivery. Information will also be collected, when applicable, to
include other associated requirements such as electrical power needs,
internet access, etc.
NASA collects, stores, and secures information from individuals
requiring routine and intermittent access in a manner consistent with
the Constitution and applicable laws, including the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
