SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The NASA Small Business Supplier Development Program (formerly
known as the NASA Mentor-Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Program) is authorized
by the U.S. Small Business Administration in accordance with 15 U.S.C.
657r and 13 CFR 125.10. The purpose of the Program is to provide
incentives to NASA prime contractors (mentors) to assist small
businesses and other prot[eacute]g[eacute]s to enhance their
capabilities and increase their participation in NASA, other
Government, and in commercial contracts and subcontracts. Under the
Program, mentor-prot[eacute]g[eacute] agreements specify the assistance
to be provided by the mentor and agreement milestones, as well as
reporting requirements for the mentor and prot[eacute]g[eacute] firm.
This information collection (i.e., application and reports submitted
pursuant to mentor-prot[eacute]g[eacute] agreements) is required by
NASA to monitor the performance and progress of both the mentor and the
prot[eacute]g[eacute] in this developmental assistance program.
NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's
communication function in accordance with Section 203(a)(3) of the
National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (as amended) dictates that
NASA ``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.
