Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The NBCRNA has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the NBCRNA has been recognized as tax-exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, is exempt from federal and state income taxes. No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as the NBCRNA has had no significant unrelated business income. The NBCRNA follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The NBCRNA recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The NBCRNA has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of August 31, 2017 and 2016.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body	The full Form 990 (as ultimately filed with the IRS) is sent electronically to the Finance Committee and then to the full board for review and approval prior to filing the return with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	Each board member signs a conflict of interest disclosure in the fall of each year, noting any potential conflicts that may exist. At each board meeting, the directors are asked to disclose any conflicts they might have. The reported conflicts of interest are monitored by the CEO and applicable staff throughout the year. If a potential conflict exists, the organization seeks legal clarification and the individual will abstain from voting on any issues that relate to the conflict disclosed. Employees annually sign written statements to affirm compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	The salary for the CEO is determined and approved by the Board of Directors following a performance review in July. The decision is contemporaneously documented in the board minutes of the meeting. The process was last undertaken in 2017. The CEO signs a yearly employment agreement detailing the compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees	NBCRNA performs benchmarking of salaries for all officers and key employees using comparability data approximately every three years. The process was last undertaken in 2017. The Executive Committee reviews salaries annually.
