Appendix C. Forms Used to Publish STI

C.1 Forms used to process STI include: NASA Form (NF) 1676, NASA Scientific and Technical (STI) Document Availability Authorization (DAA) and Instructions, the EDAA implementation of this form, and the Report Documentation Page (SF-298).

C.1.1 See the latest version and instructions for the NF1676 and EDAA at https://nef.nasa.gov/ (Internal to NASA).

C.1.2 NASA requires this form for all STI to be published and disseminated external to NASA or presented at internal meetings at which foreign persons are invited or likely to be present.

C.2 NF1676B and Instructions: Note: At the time this NPR was approved, some seven Centers were converting to and/or already using the Agency EDAA system, which is the NF1676B. Other Centers continue to use the electronic version of the NF1676 (see http://nef.nasa.gov (internal to NASA) or Center-based DAA systems).

C.3 SF298: See http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/116146 for this form. If the EDAA is used, the SF298 is not required because the EDAA encompasses data elements of the SF298.

C.4 NASA Supplementary Instructions to Complete Standard Form (SF) 298, Report Documentation Page (RDP): NASA uses this intergovernmental form (available at http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/116146) that does not allow customization.
