handle is hein.gao/gaobackve0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Accounting and Information Management Division B-261117 May 23, 1995 Mr. Kenneth J. Winter Deputy Chief Financial Officer National Aeronautics and Space Administration Dear Mr. Winter: This letter responds to your March 21, 1995, request for an interpretation of the restriction in Title 6, Pay, Leave, and Allowances, of GAO's Policy and Procedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies against employees recording and maintaining their own time and attendance (T&A) data. As described in your letter, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is in the process of modifying its T&A procedures in response to the National Performance Review initiatives to streamline administrative operations and reduce federal costs. This modification is part of a larger effort to design and implement a new automated payroll system at NASA. We support initiatives to create a government that works better and costs less. At the same time, we believe that agencies have the responsibility to protect the government's interest. Several years ago, Marshall Space Flight Center and Langley Research Center separately requested waivers of the Title 6 requirement of recording unscheduled leave taken by employees on hard copy documents. Both centers were granted temporary waivers' pending the implementation of a new NASA-wide T&A system. Since your proposal of a new system covers the recording of all leave taken by employees, this response supersedes those temporary waivers. To more fully understand your request, we contacted your staff and discussed the proposal in more detail. However, we did not test your current system, and consequently, our response only addresses your proposal conceptually and does 'Letters dated September 30, 1992 (B-114365) and September 25, 1989. GAO/AIMD-95-14OR - Title 6 T&A Data (NASA)
