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. 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.
