Terms of Clearance: In May of 2000 this paperwork was given a 1 year approval cont- ingent upon NASA piloting electronic submission of Forms 533M and 533Q using the internet and XML whenever practicable. The year approval ended in June of 2001 with minimal progress made for implementation of an electronic submission alternative. While it is understood that NASA is in the midst of a major financial system modernization, greater progress towards a standardized submission method must be made. For that reason this paperwork is renewed for 1 year until November 2002. If more progress is not able to be made, then it is questionable whether NASA will be able to meet the GPEA requirements for this collection by the October 2003 deadline.
