SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    As part of NASA's retrospective review of existing regulations NASA

typographical errors as well as inadvertent omissions from prior 
rulemaking actions. A summary of changes follows:

update the internet link to ``https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/NFS.pdf ''.

the word ``Unites'' with the word ``United''.
     Section 1804.170 is revised to remove the paragraph 
designations ``(a)'' and ``(b)'' and combine the two paragraphs.
     Section 1815.203-72 is revised to remove the redundant 
words ``and RFOs''.
     Section 1815.305-70, paragraph (a)(3), is revised by 
replacing the word ``eficiencies'' with the word ``deficiencies''.
     Section 1852.215-79 is revised by replacing the clause 
reference ``52.215-21'' with the clause reference ``52.215-9''.
     Section 1852.216-76 is revised to remove the words ``, 
e.g., issuance of unilateral modification by contracting officer'' from 
paragraph (c).
     Section 1852.245-71 is revised to provide space for a 
contracting officer to ``check'' if property and services are provided 
in paragraphs (c)(1) through (11).
