SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The information submitted by recipients is an annual report of 
Government-owned property in the possession of educational or nonprofit 
institutions holding NASA grants. In addition to the annual report, a 
property report may also be required at the end of the grant, or on the 
occurrence of certain events. The collected information is used by NASA 
to effectively maintain an appropriate internal control system for 
equipment and property provided or acquired under grants and 
cooperative agreements with institutions of higher education and other 
nonprofit organizations, and to comply with statutory requirements.

II. Method of Collection

    NASA is participating in Federal efforts to extend the use of 
information technology to more Government processes via Internet. NASA 
encourages recipients to use the latest computer technology in 
preparing documentation. Grant and Cooperative Agreement awardees 
submit annual property reports via an automated NASA Form 1018 by way 
of the NASA Electronic Submission System (NESS). Approximately 95% of 
reports are submitted via electronic means.
