SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request to reinstate OMB control number 2700-0092, with
changes. This collection is required to ensure proper accounting of
Federal funds and property provided under finanical assistance awards
(grants and cooperative agreements). Reporting and recordkeeping are
prescribed at 2 CFR 1800 for awards issued to non-profits, institutions
of higher education, government, and commercial firms when cost sharing
is not required and at 14 CFR part 1274 for awards issued to commercial
firms when cost sharing is required. This information collection was
formerly titled Cooperative Agreements with Commercial Firms. 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. The basis for calculating the
estimated burden remain the same as reported in the November 30, 2015
Federal Register Notice (80 FR 74812); however, corrections were made
to the total estimated hours and costs.
II. Method of Collection
NASA collects approximately 90% of this information via electronic
media, which is the preferred manner. However, certain information may
also be collected via mail or fax.
III. Data
Title: Financial Assistance Awards/Grants and Cooperative
Agreements.
OMB Control Number: 2700-0092.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with Change of a Previously Approved
Information Collection.
Affected Public: Non-profits, institutions of higher educations,
government, and commercial firms.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,600.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 717,281.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $23,950,013.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on (1) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques
or the use of other forms of information technology.
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.
Frances Teel,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
