SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting System is the 
basic financial medium for contractor reporting of estimated and 
incurred costs, providing essential data for projecting costs and hours 
to ensure that contractor performance is realistically planned and 
supported by dollar and labor resources. The data provided by

[[Page 70842]]

these reports is an integral part of the Agency's accrual accounting 
and cost based budgeting system. Respondents are reimbursed for 
associated cost to provide the information, per their negotiated 
contract price and associated terms of the contract. There are no 
``total capital and start-up'' or ``total operation and maintenance and 
purchase of services'' costs associated since NASA policy requires that 
data reported is generated from the contractors' existing system. The 
contractors' internal management system shall be relied upon to the 
maximum extent possible.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.

preferred manner, however information may also be collected via mail or
