Hi folks:

I reviewed a new NASA Ames award that arrived in our office today and
noticed that NASA had added a withholding requirement to the award.
They will retain the final payment of 25% of the award's value pending
submission of a final report.

Is this usual practice for NASA these days?  I haven't worked closely
with NASA awards for about 6 years -- in the past, there never was a
withholding requirement on awards.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this matter.
