" Implementing the Small Business Innovation Development Act --

Responses to GA0 Recommendations 8602190227 851224 PDR CDPW18 NRCC CORRESPONDENCE PDR
h Enclosure Response to Recommendations t Chapter 2 The GA0 recommends that the annual report to SBA contain actual fiscal year extramural research and development obligations, not estimates.
l NRC Response The reports to SBA for FY 1983 and FY 1984 rounded the extramural budget figure for those years to the nearest one thousand dollars giving the appearance that estimates were used. The FY 1985 report which is due to SBA by
. March 15,1986, will be computed based upon total actual dollars.
Chapter 3
- 1. The GA0 recommends (page 44) that the reports for FY 1983 and FY 1984 be reassessed and revised as necessary, and ensure consistency in future reports.
4 NRC Response: The NRC will use actual obligations in the FY 1985 report to SBA and shall ensure that subsequent reports are computed in the same t
manner. The FY 1983 and FY 1984 reports will be revised and resubmitted to SBA along with the FY 1985 report.
i
- 2. This recommendation (page 45) requires the non-SBIR goals to be established early in the fiscal year and make such goals known to officials responsible for awarding external R&D funds.
i NRC Response: On October 18, 1985, the NRC Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization and Civil Rights submitted the NRC-wide small business goals for FY 1986 to the SBA. The goal is developed in conjunction with the NRC Division of Contracts which is responsible for awarding the external R&D funds. Included within that agency-wide goal is the NRC non-SBIR goal. Prior to submission of the next SBIR report to SBA, however, the NRC will identify that portion of the agency-wide small business goal which constitutes the non-SBIR goal.
