SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

NASA hosts/sponsors numerous events on federally owned/leased property which are open to NASA affiliates and members of the
public. The events include but are not limited to meetings, conferences, briefings, public outreach activities, tours, focus
groups, etc. Visitor access is substantiated by a credentialed NASA sponsor who validates the visitor's need to access a building/area,
guest networking services, etc. for a specific event/purpose. Information is collected to validate identity and enable intermittent
access to activities.

The NASA Office of Protective Services transitioned to a one-NASA process to manage access for visitors with an affiliation
less than 30-days.

NASA may collect event registration information to include but not limited to a visitor's name, address, citizenship, biometric
data, purpose of visit, the location to be visited, escort/sponsor name with contact data, and preferred meeting/event sessions
when options are available. When parking is provided on federal owned/leased space, driver's license information as well as
vehicle make/model/tag information will be collected.

When visitors/vendors are permitted to bring equipment and/or event set-up materials such as booths and displays, information
will be collected to issue property passes and coordinate equipment/property delivery. Information will also be collected,
when applicable, to include other associated requirements such as electrical power needs, internet access, etc.

NASA collects, stores, and secures information from individuals requiring routine and intermittent access in a manner consistent
with the Constitution and applicable laws, including the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
