6.2.7 The non-reimbursable interagency detail of employees requires the approval of the appropriate appointing authorities, in coordination with the responsible officials of other agencies and departments (e.g., HR, Budget/Finance, General Counsel, and Security).
6.3.1 HR Offices shall document the detail assignments of Agency employees to external organizations or departments (whether internal or external to NASA), with the exception of participants in formal developmental programs, by processing the appropriate personnel action in the Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS) as outlined below.
6.3.1.1 Non-Competitive Details
a. OPM requires documentation (processing of personnel actions) for the following types of details (Reference the Guide to Processing Personnel Actions, Chapter 14, Table 14-A):

(3) Detail to a position that is different (either series, grade, or duties) than the employee's current position and is for more than 30 days.
(4) Detail to any position for more than 120 days.
b. FPPS is the authoritative data source for employee information; it is used by other systems to grant employee/supervisory access to Agency systems. The processing of personnel actions ensures that employees on details receive appropriate emergency notifications and access to NASA systems.
c. In addition, Center HR Offices shall document the following details:
(1) Details of any employee into a supervisory position whether they are currently a supervisor or not, regardless of duration.
(2) Details greater than 30 days to a different organization or work location.

c. Centers may establish local written procedures for announcing competitive details.
d. In accordance with 5 CFR 335, staffing case files must provide sufficient documentation to reconstruct the action (e.g., evidence of applicant search, referral, and selection process).
Note: Employees do not need to meet minimum qualifications for details; however, if the position has a positive education requirement, candidates must meet the prescribed requirements.
6.4.1 Regardless of whether the detail is reimbursable or non-reimbursable, the employee is still counted in the Monthly Report of Full-Time Equivalent/Work Year Civilian Employment (SF-113G) of the losing agency or department. This is not negotiable in interagency agreements.

6.4.2.1 Details covered by this reporting requirement include: interagency details; details under the IPA; and any other appropriate agreements for sending NASA employees to external organizations, as well as details of NASA employees on rotational assignments as part of Agency-funded developmental programs, such as the Mid-Level Leader, PMFs, and the SES Candidate Development Programs.
