        <ExplanationTxt>NSSA ACCOUNTS FOR THE EFFECT OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS BASED ON A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE TAX POSITIONS BEING SUSTAINED BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION UNDER SCRUTINY BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY. IF A TAX POSITION OR POSITIONS ARE DEEMED TO RESULT IN UNCERTAINTIES OF THOSE POSITIONS, THE UNRECOGNIZED TAX EFFECT IS ESTIMATED BASED ON A "CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT" THAT AGGREGATES THE ESTIMATED TAX LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, ARE ACCRUED AS A COMPONENT OF MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL EXPENSES WHEN ASSESSED. NSSA IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. SIMILAR TO OTHER TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS, NSSA IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. TAX YEARS PRIOR TO 2019 ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES.</ExplanationTxt>
