NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
14 CFR Part 1260
NASA Research Grant Handbook, Inventory Listings; Reporting Period and
Due Date
AGENCY: Office of Procurement, Procurement Policy Divisions, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Interim rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NASA has revised its Research Grant Handbook to change the
reporting period and report due date for annual equipment inventory
listings from June 30 and July 31, respectively, to September 30 and
October 31, respectively. This regulation is issued as an interim rule
to avoid unnecessary work by grantees to comply with the present
reporting requirements and to ensure that new awards reflect the
revised requirements.
DATES: This interim rule is effective August, 1, 1994.
Comments are due on or before September 30, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Tom O'Toole, NASA
Headquarters, Office of Procurement, Procurement Policy Division (Code
HP), Washington, DC 20546.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tom O'Toole, telephone: (202) 358-0478.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Research Grant Handbook, 14 CFR part 1260, NHB 5800.1C,
currently requires recipients of grants and cooperative agreements to
submit an annual inventory of all Government furnished property. The
reporting period and report due date, however, are not on a fiscal year
basis, thereby creating an inconsistency with other financial data
reported on a fiscal year basis. This FR notice changes the inventory
report period and due date to a fiscal year basis.
Availability of NASA Grant Handbook
The NASA Research Grant Handbook, of which this regulation will
become a part, is codified in 14 CFR part 1260 and is available in its
entirety on a subscription basis from the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, (202) 783-3238. Cite
GPO Subscription Stock Number 933-001-00000-8. It is not distributed to
the public, whether in whole or in part, directly by NASA.
Impact
NASA certifies that this interim rule will not have a significant
economic effect on a substantial number of small entities within the
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The
reporting or recordkeeping requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act are approved under OMB control number 2700-0047 through
November 30, 1995.
