special conditions necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
    (b) Cover page formats shown in Exhibit B to subpart A of this Part 
1260 shall be used for all NASA grant and cooperative agreement award 
documents. Provisions for grants with U.S. organizations shall be 
incorporated by reference, and preprinted checklists may be used 
(Exhibit C to subpart A of this part 1260). Both special conditions and 
provisions for grants with foreign organizations will be printed in full 
text. An acceptance block may be added when the grant officer finds it 
necessary to require bilateral execution of the grant. Program budgets 
are not generally attached to the award document. When it is necessary 
to attach the budget due to revisions to the original proposed budget or 
other reasons, this information should be suitably marked as 
confidential, and is not be disclosed outside of the Government without 
the consent of the grantee.
    (c) The Identification Numbering System to be used prior to 
Integrated Financial Management Project (IFMP) implementation will be 
applied as follows:
    (1) For research, education, and facilities grants, numbering shall 
conform to (NFS) 48 CFR 1804.7102(a) by including the Center 
Identification Number, except that a NAG prefix will be used in lieu of 
the NAS prefix (e.g., NAG5 would be the Goddard prefix designation). 
They will be sequentially numbered.
    (2) Cooperative agreements will use the prefix NCC plus the Center 
Identification Number. They will be sequentially numbered.
    (3) Training grants will use the prefix NGT plus the Center 
Identification Number. They will be sequentially numbered.
    (4) The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Numbers does 
not apply to NASA grants.
    (d) The Identification Numbering System will be revised after IFMP 
implementation. There will be a phase-in term for Center implementation 
of the IFMP. For centers using IFMP Performance Purchasing; the 
following numbering system shall be used for new awards (awards made 
prior to conversation to IFMP will retain previously assigned numbers):
    (1) Document Type for grants. For research, education, facilities, 
and training grants, the document type prefix GR shall be used.
    (2) Document Type for cooperative agreements. Cooperative agreements 
will use the prefix CO.
    (3) Agency Identifier. The Agency identifier NAS shall follow the 
document number.
    (4) Center Smart Codes. The Center identifier shall follow the 
document type:

cooperative agreements serially by fiscal year. The serial number shall 
be six digits commencing with ``000001'' and continuing in succession.
    (8) As an example of the above set forth methodology, the first two 
grants awarded by Marshall Space Flight Center in fiscal year 1999 would 
be GRNASM99G000001 and GRNASM99G000002.
    (9) The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Numbers does 
not apply to NASA grants.
