IndependentVerification &Validation Program4.0Administrative ControlsIVV 02Version: PEffective Date:February 22, 2016Process4.1Time and AttendanceNASA IV&V Program civil service (CS) employees are responsible forentering their time into Web-based Time and Attendance DistributionSystem (WebTADS) for bi-weekly payroll processing.Within WebTADS, NASA IV&V Program CS employees may request timeadjustments up to three prior pay periods, as well as to various leave andcompensatory time components; e.g., annual leave, sick leave, overtime,credit hours earned/used, administrative leave, military leave,compensatory time earned/used. Additional information regarding leaveand time entry can be obtained at the WebTADS Website(https://webtads.nasa.gov) for online support; including Guides and Aids,Training Material and Quick Reference Guidelines.Unused annual leave must not exceed 240 hours (30 eight-hourworkdays) at the end of each calendar year. Throughout the year NASAIV&V Program CS employees are responsible for scheduling in advance,their annual leave throughout the year to avoid its forfeiture in the first payperiod of the next calendar year.NASA IV&V Program CS employees are responsible for scheduling andpublishing their planned leave and absences on their Outlook calendarand by e-mail to appropriate individuals; e.g., supervisor, office lead, team,OOD Executive Assistant etc.4.2Official TravelThe following diagram depicts the process described in this portion of theSLP.

IndependentVerification &Validation Program Administrative ControlsIVV 02Version: PEffective Date:February 22, 2016Travel authorizations are not required for local travel as long as itconforms to paragraph 3.2 above; however, as with any officialtravel, local travel requires prior approval by the appropriate officelead.CS employees are responsible for informing their functional/office leads ofchanges to travel plans approved by that functional/office lead.By two weeks prior to a trip, travelers should provide to their respectivetravel arranger (with a copy to the appropriate functional/office lead), theapplicable trip information, and request a travel authorization. Thefunctional/office lead will only respond or comment if he/she does notconcur with the request; otherwise, silence is consent.Conference and International Travel The start time for actions associated with travel involvingconferences listed in the NASA Conference Tracking System(NCTS), is at least two months prior to the conference start date;i.e., conference attendees must register in the NCTS more than 60days prior the conference’s start date. The travel authorizationitself should be initiated per the instructions above.The lead time for international travel is 30 days. The employee andtravel arranger should first review the GSFC Travel Office’s ForeignTravel Webpage: http://etravel.gsfc.nasa.gov/ForeignTravel.cfm todetermine current procedures and requirements.The travel arranger will prepare a travel authorization based oninformation provided by the traveler. A travel arranger will prepare all CS employees’ official travelauthorizations and their associated travel vouchers in accordancewith the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), NASA ProceduralRequirements (NPR) 9700.1, NASA Interim Directive (NID) forTravel 9700.2, and instructions provided by the HQ and GSFCTravel Offices and GSFC Financial Support Office. Travel-relatedinformation can also be found on the IV&V Program’s Confluence“Travel for Civil Servants” Wiki page.

NASA IV&V Program Management will adhere to FTR,NID, and NPR guidelines to ensure that the selected mode oftransportation is the most cost-effective for the government. Travelers willidentify transportation expenses in the official Travel Authorization or LocalTravel Voucher (as appropriate) created in CGE.Reserving a GSA Vehicle: The NASA IV&V Program maintains two GSAFleet Management Vehicles for use by NASA IV&V Program CSemployees for official government travel.Non-federal governmentemployees; i.e., government contractors, are permitted to ride in thevehicles, and if they have a valid driver’s license, may drive asnecessitated by the situation.To reserve a GSA vehicle for travel, the requester must: Read and understand the Vehicle Request User’s Guide, locatedon ECM at: ECM /WORKFLOWS/ GOVT VEHICLE REQUEST/Vehicle Request User’s Guide prior to requesting a vehicle.Submit the Government Vehicle Request Form via the EnterpriseContent Management (ECM) system workflow located at: ECM /WORKFLOWS/ GOVT VEHICLE REQUEST/ Govt VehicleRequest Form.Vehicle availability can be checked any time by the Check VehicleAvailability link on the Government Vehicle Request Form.Ensure that the request has been approved prior to obtaining thevehicle keys. Approval or denial will be sent to requestor via emailby the workflowObtain the vehicle keys from the first floor Security Station, locatedat Building 1, 100 University Drive.While the GSA vehicle is signed out, the following information applies: If the GSA vehicle requires essential consumable supplies, theThis document is uncontrolled when printed - check the master list athttp://ims.ivv.nasa.gov/ to verify that this is the correct version before use8 of 15

Immediately upon return ofthe vehicle, report the flat tire to David Sheldon (O&M Manager).During after-duty hours leave a message with the Security Stationat 304 367 8200.Upon returning from travel, the requester must: Refuel the vehicle, ensuring that the fuel tank is completely full. Ifthis is not possible, provide an appropriate explanation in theComments box of the Trip Record.Clean the inside of the vehicle using the vacuum and cleaningwipes that are located in the vehicle, and when possible wash theoutside if necessary.

A fewexcerpts are listed below: Paragraph 2.6.1.4 outlines the appropriate uses of GSA and othergovernment vehicles; e.g., to/from duty sites, lodgings, diningfacilities, medical facilities, drugstores, barber shops, and similarplaces required for the traveler’s health or comfort; however, publicperception must be considered. Paragraphs 2.7.1 and 3.3.4 outline the regulations concerning thetransportation of passengers other than civil service employees andcontracted government employees in the performance of theirofficial duties. Paragraph 3.3.1 stipulates that operators of GSA and othergovernment vehicles will not operate mobile telephones while thevehicle is in motion or on the traveled portion of a roadway.Failure to follow the above procedures may result in suspension ofpermission to sign out a GSA vehicle.Non-Government Conveyance: In the event that a GSA vehicle is notavailable or is not economically prudent for the situation, NASA IV&VProgram CS employees may request authorization for a various specialconveyance, such as a rental vehicle, taxi, or other means.POV: NASA IV&V Program CS employees may elect to use a POV withfull reimbursement at the standard government mileage rate whenauthorized and deemed most advantageous to the government. If a POVis not preauthorized or is found not to be the most cost-effective mode oftransportation to the government, the traveler will be reimbursed at areduced rate in accordance with FTR 301-10.310, or in the amount of themore advantageous mode of travel.This document is uncontrolled when printed - check the master list athttp://ims.ivv.nasa.gov/ to verify that this is the correct version before use10 of 15

In accordance with FTR 301-10.310, contract carriers must beutilized when available. Coach class service must be used unlessbusiness class or first class service is pre-authorized.4.4Office SuppliesThe NASA IV&V Program’s supply, support, and material managementguidelines are structured in accordance with NASA Policy Directive (NPD)4100.1B, Supply Support and Material Management Policy; and are to beresponsive to customer requirements at a minimum cost and demand onthe NASA logistics infrastructure. Only materials necessary for theperformance of NASA mission requirements or institutional operationsshall be acquired.To aid in the completion of accurate, professional, and quality work, theNASA IV&V Program provides office supplies to its CS employees. Officesupplies are stored in the supply cabinet located in the AdministrativeOffice and in a cabinet located in the hallway next to the stairwell door onthe second floor of Building 2. Office supplies may be requested bycompleting the Supply Ordering Form posted inside the supply cabinet inthe Administrative Office. Also posted on the inside of the supply cabinetis the Standard Supply List.On the Supply Ordering Form, requesters must indicate quantity, unit,stock number, catalog edition, catalog page number, item description, unitlist price, total, and requester name for each item requested.
