NASA is requesting approval to collect
information from NASA contractors pertaining to contractor mishaps
that occur on a NASA site. The work NASA does is inherently risky.
NASA's constant attention to safety is the cornerstone upon which
we build mission success. NASA is committed to protecting the
safety and health of the public, team members, and those assets
that the Nation entrusts to NASA. It is NASA policy to report and
track to resolution all corrective actions resulting from
investigations of mishaps, incidents, nonconformances, anomalies,
and safety and mission assurance audits and to distribute and use
lessons learned to improve activities and operations. This is a
vital component of NASA's safety program. Accordingly, NASA
requests authorization to collect information under the NASA
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NFS) clause,
1852.223-70, Safety and Health Measures and Mishap Reporting,
formerly entitled "Safety and Health." While the clause is proposed
to be revised to eliminate some information collect requirements,
two distinct information collection requirements will remain: 1)
notification of a Type A, B, C, or D Mishap, or close call as
defined in NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 8621.1, Mishap and
Close Call Reporting, Investigating, and Record keeping, and 2)
quarterly reports specifying lost-time frequency rate, number of
lost-time injuries, exposure, and accident/incident dollar
losses.
US Code:
29
USC 1960.28 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
NASA contractors are required
to report certain mishaps and close calls that could perhaps
endanger the public, astronauts, pilots, and the NASA workforce in
general.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
