Station WQEN is currently licensed to

operate on Channel 279C1 at Gadsden.

However, 47 CFR Part 73, Radio

Broadcast Services, § 73.202(b), the

Table of FM Allotments, lists Channel

279C at Gadsden. Commission records

reflect that Station WQEN filed a onestep application for a construction

permit (File No. BPH–19971114IH) to

change its channel of operation to

Channel 279C1. A license to cover the

construction permit (File No. BLH–

19980710KE) was granted December 6,

1999.

Provisions of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to

this proceeding.

Members of the public should note

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND

SPACE ADMINISTRATION

48 CFR Parts 1827, 1835 and 1852

Submission of Final Reports Under

NASA Research and Development

Contracts

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This is a proposed rule to

revise report submission requirements

under NASA research and development

(R&D) contracts and clarify that

contractors cannot release these final

reports until NASA has completed its

Document Availability Authorization

(DAA) review and the availability of the

report has been determined.

DATES: Comments should be submitted

on or before June 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should

submit written comments to Celeste

Dalton, NASA Headquarters Office of

Procurement, Contract Management

Division (Code HK), Washington, DC,

20546. Comments may also be

submitted by email to

cdalton@hq.nasa.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Celeste Dalton (202) 358–1645.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

NASA’s Center for AeroSpace

Information (CASI) serves as a

repository of NASA scientific and

technical information (STI). This

includes information developed under

NASA-sponsored research and

development efforts. The NFS currently

requires that copies of the final report

and other progress reports under R&D

contracts be submitted to CASI. The

need for other progress reports no longer

exists. Copies of only the final report

required under an R&D contract must be

submitted to CASI. Before NASA STI is

made available, it is subject to a NASA

Document Availability Authorization

(DAA) review and release

determination. Contractors cannot

release final reports resulting from

NASA R&D contracts until NASA has

completed its Document Availability

Authorization (DAA) review (NASA

Form 1676).

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This proposed rule is not expected to

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

within the meaning of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.601 et seq.)

because it only affects small business

entities whose R&D contracts required

progress reporting.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because the changes to the

NFS do not impose any new record

keeping or information collection

requirements which require the

approval of the Office of Management

and Budget under 44 U.S.C 3501, et seq.

Accordingly, 48 CFR parts 1827, 1835,

and 1852 are proposed to be amended

as follows:

parts 1827, 1835, and 1852 continues to

read as follows:
