Preface

P.1 Purpose

In accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended, NASA shall "provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof." Unless a determination is made that public dissemination of information must be prohibited or restricted, NASA information is made available to the public. This NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) identifies requirements for approving, publishing, and disseminating NASA scientific and technical information (STI) under the policy set forth in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 2200.1, Management of NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI).

P.2 Applicability

This NPR is applicable to NASA Headquarters, NASA Centers and Component Facilities, and NASA contractors and grantees that elect or are required under the terms of their contracts or grants to have their STI reviewed and/or published by NASA. In this NPR, the terms "grant" and "grantee" include "cooperative agreement" and "cooperative agreement recipient," respectively, unless otherwise indicated.
