60-Day Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 72 / Monday, April 15, 2019 / Notices
Integrated Review and Evaluation
System (NSPIRES) or Grants.gov. The
use of these systems reduces the need
for proposers to submit multiple copies
to the agency. It allows proposers to
submit multiple proposals to different
funding announcements without
registering each time. Electronic funds
transfer is used for payment under
Treasury guidance, for commercial firms
and through the HHS Payment
Management System (PMS) for other
recipients. In addition, NASA
encourages the use of computer
technology and is participating in
Federal efforts to extend the use of
information technology to more
Government processes.
Basis of Estimate.
Approximately 6,100 NASA financial
assistance awards are open at any one
time. It is estimated that out of the 7,100
proposals received each year, NASA
awards approximately 1,600 new
awards. The period of performance for
each financial assistance award is
usually three to five years. NASA had
approximately 120 awards with
commercial firms. Commercial firms
submit quarterly payment requests
directly to NASA, while other recipients
submit the Federal Financial Reports
(SF 425) on a quarterly basis to the HHS
PMS. Performance, Property, and Patent
Reports are filed annually. Historical
records indicate that, on average, 1,625
changes are submitted annually. The
total number of respondents is based on
the average number of proposals that are
received each year and the average
number of active grants that are
managed each year. The total number of
hours spent on each task was estimated
through historical records and
experience of former recipients. Using
past calculations, the total cost was
estimated using the average salary
(wages and benefits) for a GS–12 step 5.
