NASA implements full-cost accounting at the NASA field centers.10 In addition, these data will be required before OSS can respond appropriately to Recommendation 3 of the 1998 report.
The Board believes that OSS's proposals for responding to the recommendations of the 1998 report are moving in the right direction.
