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.

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;

(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;
