It is NASAs policy to establish, document, and promulgate internal NASA requirements in order to communicate these requirements in a clear,efficient, and concise manner, and where necessary, to fulfill the Age

(1) An internal NASA requirement is a statement of mandatory instructions, imposed by NASA, that a NASA employee or organization will performor a statement of form “and/or“ function that a piece of equipment or system will meet.(2) An internal NASA requir

4、ements document is any document used to record and communicate the internal requirements and responsibilitiesnecessary to fulfill the Agencys vision, mission, and external mandates.b. NASAs policy is to also establish charters to govern councils, boards, committees, panels, or working groups mandate

5、d by statute, the NASAAdministrator, or Officials-in-Charge of Headquarters Offices in order to make decisions for the Agency. c. It is NASAs policy that all internal NASA requirements documents are: (1) Developed and controlled by a documented process. (2) Clearly labeled as containing requirements

It is NASAs policy to review all Agency-level directives for cost/benefit impacts, as described in NPR 1400.1, NASA Directives and ChartersProcedural

7、 Requirements.e. It is NASAs policy that all internal NASA charters comply with the provisions of paragraphs 1a and 1c, excluding paragraphs 1c(2) and (4).f. When internal requirements are consistent with the purpose of an external requirement but meet or exceed those requirements, thereby makingint

8、ernal requirements more stringent, it is NASA policy that the internal NASA requirements apply. (See Attachment C for examples of externalrequirements).g. It is NASAs policy that NASA directives take precedence over all other internal NASA requirements. The flow and order of precedence forinternal N

9、ASA documents are described in Figure 1 of Attachment D. Attachment A provides the definition for the documents that constitute NASAdirectives.h. It is NASAs policy that internal NASA documents other than directives, such as the examples mentioned in Attachment C, becomerequirements when a directive

CANCELLATION NPD 1400.1J, Documentation and Promulgation of Internal NASA Requirements, dated March 3, 2005. /s/ Charles F. Bolden, Jr.Administrator ATTACHMENT A: Definitions

28、Agency-level directives are directives (e.g., NASA Policy Directives (NPD), NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR), and NASA Interim Directives(NID) with Agency-wide applicability). NPDs are policy statements that describe what is required by NASA management to achieve NASAs vision, mission, and externa

29、l mandates andwho is responsible for carrying out those requirements. An NPD may be referenced in one or more NPR, Center-level directives, or other internalrequirements. NPDs apply to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers.The si

30、gnatory authority for NPDs is the NASA Administrator. NPRs provide the Agencys mandatory instructions and requirements to implement NASA policy as delineated in an associated NPD. All NPRsrelate to one of more NPDs. NPRs apply to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and

31、 Technical and ServiceSupport Centers. The signatory authority for NPRs is the Official-in-Charge (OIC) of the Headquarters Office originating the NPR (See NPD1000.3, The NASA Organization, paragraph 1.2.2) or the Administrator. However, prior to signature, NPRs are concurred on by designatedofficia

32、ls within the Office of the Administrator. NIDs provide an immediate, short-term statement of the Agencys policies and responsibilities for policy implementation. NIDs are issued with amandatory expiration date, not to exceed 12 months from the date of issuance, unless an extension is granted. NIDs

33、apply to NASA Headquartersand NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers. The signature authorities for NIDs are determinedby the OIC of the Headquarters Office originating the NID and the Office of the Administrator. Center-level directives are directives

34、 (e.g., Center Policy Directives (CPD); Center Procedural Requirements (CPR); and Center Interim Directives(CID) with Center-specific applicability. CPDs define Center-specific policy requirements and responsibilities and comply with requirements delineated in associated NPDs or NPRs.CPDs apply only

35、 to the issuing Center and operations performed by NASA personnel at that Center. Center Directors, or designee (s), are thesignatory authority for CPDs. CPRs establish Center-specific procedural requirements and responsibilities to implement the policies defined in related NPDs, NPRs, or CPDs.CPRs

36、apply only to the issuing Center and operations performed by NASA personnel at that Center. Center Directors, or designee(s), are thesignatory authority for CPRs. CIDs provide an immediate, short-term statement of the Centers policies and responsibilities for policy implementation. CIDs are issued w

37、ith amandatory expiration date not to exceed 12 months from the date of issuance, unless an extension is granted. CIDs apply only to the issuingCenter and operations performed by NASA personnel at that Center. Center Directors, or designee(s), are the signatory authority for CIDs. NASA charters are

38、documents that govern councils, boards, committees, panels, and working groups established under the auspices of anAgency Governance Council.

ATTACHMENT C: Other Internal NASA DocumentsC.1 Internal NASA documents other than directives, such as the examples mentioned below, become requirements when a directive specifi

42、es itsuse (by citing the documents title, revision letter/number, and date) or when a NASA manager with authority over a NASA program, project, orother activity, identifies it as a requirement. The following are examples of other NASA internal documents: a. NASA Technical Standards. NASA technical s

43、tandards are NASA documents that contain common and repeated use of rules, conditions,guidelines, or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods and related management systems practices. NASAtechnical standards may contain the definition of terms; classification of compo

44、nents; delineation of procedures; specification of dimensions,materials, performance, designs, or operations; measurement of quality and quantity in describing materials, processes, products, systems,services, or practices; test methods and sampling procedures; or descriptions of fit and measurement

45、s of size or strength. Within NASA, the broadterm “standard“ may include the following specific document types: codes, guidebooks, handbooks, specifications, and standards.“ with “NASATechnical Standards Products. NASA technical standards products are NASA documents that contain common and repeated

The term“NASA technical stand

48、ards products“ refers to technical standards, specifications, and handbooks developed and approved by NASAHeadquarters offices, assigned a prefix of “NASA-STD-,“ “NASA- SPEC-,“ or “NASA-HDBK-,“ respectively, to the unique document number.NASA may adopt standards developed outside NASA in lieu of dev

49、eloping a NASA directive or standard. These include standards developed byother United States Government agencies or other standards development organizations (See OPM Circular A-119 and NPR 7120.10). b. Plans. Plans are NASA documents that present goals, objectives, and operational details to guide users in achieving NASAs mission.
