Summary

This regulation establishes NASA's policies and procedures for complying with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, specifically for grants and cooperative agreements, by adopting and supplementing guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It outlines criteria for determining violations by recipients, which include organizations failing to maintain a drug-free workplace or individuals convicted of drug offenses related to award activities. Exceptions to punitive actions, such as suspension or termination of awards, can be granted by the Assistant Administrator for Procurement (AA) or the Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO) under specific circumstances, but these authorities cannot be delegated further.
