SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract: The NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting System is the basic
financial medium for contractor reporting of estimated and incurred costs, providing essential
data for projecting costs and hours to ensure that contractor performance is realistically planned
and supported by dollar and labor resources. The data provided by these reports is an integral
part of the Agency’s accrual accounting and cost-based budgeting system. Respondents are
reimbursed for associated cost to provide the information, per their negotiated contract price and
associated terms of the contract. There are no ‘‘total capital and start-up’’ or ‘‘total operation and
maintenance and purchase of services’’ costs associated since NASA policy requires that data
reported is generated from the contractors’ existing system. The contractors’ internal
management system shall be relied upon to the maximum extent possible.
II. Methods of Collection: NASA collects this information electronically and that is the
preferred manner, however information may also be collected via mail or fax.
