They provide support and information to the SFA PM as well as others participating in the implementation of NASA's SFA Program or the respective SFA Contractors' plans and programs.

3.2 Points of Contact from SFA Contractors

SFA Contractor employees assigned by their employer to support the coordination work of the SFA WG are the POCs for the SFA Program at their respective location and responsible sites. They are responsible for the coordination of support (if any) from and guidance to any of their subcontractors who, by virtue of their subcontract work for SFA Contractors, participate in the SFA Program.

3.3 Recognition Program

3.3.1 The SFA PM, in consultation with the SFA WG, will maintain a highly visible program that recognizes the awareness, achievement, and improvement of safety and mission success in NASA's human spaceflight programs. The SFA Contractors' SFA programs may include these or similar awards and recognition for their personnel. An SFA Contractor's plan or program to recognize and award its employees for human spaceflight safety awareness, achievement, and improvement is the company's responsibility. NASA SFA awards which may be presented are described in paragraph 4.3 below and include the following:

a. Silver Snoopy Award

b. Team Award

c. Honoree Award

d. Special Local Award

d. Trailblazer Award

e. Management Award

g. Supplier Award

3.4 Awareness Program

3.4.1 Each participating NASA Center and, to the extent required under contract, each SFA Contractor will develop an annual plan for safety awareness and outreach activities for its facilities and its supplier/contractor facilities and submit this plan to the SFA PM. With respect to such annual plans developed by SFA Contractors, the submission of such plans to the SFA PM is for the purpose of understanding the contractors' planning and the alignment of the contractors' planning with the overall NASA SFA program. The SFA PM will not personally direct or request changes to a SFA Contractor's planning. Any such direction, guidance, or request will be accomplished through coordination with the cognizant CO or COR to ensure compliance with the terms of the subject contract. At a minimum, the plan should include:

a. All major events and milestones plans under the SFA program

b. Astronaut/Management Outreach Visits

c. Projected budgets

3.5 Education/Outreach
