Contract Numbering

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) by 
making administrative changes to the contract identification numbering 
scheme used by NASA. This change is necessary for implementation of 
NASA's Integrated Financial Management System.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 4, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Celeste Dalton, NASA, Office of 
Procurement, Contract Management Division (Code HK); (202) 358-1645; e-
mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 62191]]

A. Background

    NASA is in the process of implementing a new Agency-wide Integrated 
Financial Management System. This implementation requires a minor 
change to the number of digits and sequence of characters used in the 
contract identification number. This final rule makes these 
administrative changes to the contract numbering scheme used for NASA 
contracts.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule does not constitute a significant revision within 
the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577, and publication for 
public comment is not required. However, NASA will consider comments 
from small entities concerning the affected NFS Part 1804 in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 610.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes do 
not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements which 
require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
