NASA should
evaluate its program objectives for this information and make an
effort to coordinate this requirement with the SF 295.
Specifically, NASA should explore whether the SF 295 will meet this
requirement or, if not, a NASA supplement to the SF 295 can be
developed to meet NASA requirements. NASA should work closely with
industry on this effort. NASA should seek from industry a precise
estimate as to the burden imposed by this report above and beyond
the burden imposed by the SF 295. The results of this review should
be provided to OMB upon resubmission.
