OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/17/1987
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/18/1987
Terms of Clearance: I. General - By January 31, 1988, NASA will provide OMB with ideas and possible schedules for breaking down the burden hours under this collection into categories that would be useful for further analysis. NASA will consider using one or more sets of Federal Procurement Data System categories. II. Expendable Launch Vehicle Program - By January 31, 1988, NASA will provide written answers to the following questions. 1) How does the paperwork burden estimate reflect NASA's plans to acquire expendable launch vehicle service on a commercial basis? (Differentiate between analyses for competitive and non-competitive procurements.) 2) When does NASA expect to procure launch vehicle services on a competitive, fixed price basis? If NASA does expect to conduct such procurements, will NASA require offerors to submit and certify cost data as they would be required to do if NASA were conducting the procurement on a noncompetitive basis? 3) What other areas has NASA identified where information collection can be reduced when launch services are procured on a commercial basis? Can NASA reduce the requirements for submitting and complying with performance plans such as those which detail how and by whom the work will be performed and those which are intended to ensure reliability, quality and safety?
