PART III, LINE 1A:	THE VALUE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTION IS NOT REFLECTED AS AN ASSET IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND GIFTS OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE EXCLUDED FROM REVENUE IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS WERE ACQUIRED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. PURSUANT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTIONS AND MANAGEMENT POLICY, PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS ARE TO BE USED EXCLUSIVELY TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTION AND WILL BE RECORDED AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS DESIGNATED FOR ACQUISITIONS OF COLLECTION ITEMS.
PART III, LINE 4:	SIGNIFICANT USE OF COLLECTION ITEMS: PUBLIC EXHIBITION (I) THE MUSEUM IS CURRENTLY DISPLAYING SEVERAL HUNDRED OBJECTS FROM ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION IN THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACES. ANNUAL ROTATIONS OF COLLECTION OBJECTS ARE REGULARLY SCHEDULED IN VARIOUS INSTALLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE MUSEUM. SCHOLARLY RESEARCH (II) THE MUSEUM WELCOMES RESEARCHERS BY APPOINTMENT AND FACILITATED APPROXIMATELY 25 RESEARCH REQUESTS IN 2015 WHICH INCLUDED EITHER AN ON-SITE VISIT TO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS OR STUDY OF ACCESSIONED MATERIALS CATALOGUED IN THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS DATABASE INVOLVING SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE FROM IN-HOUSE STAFF. IMPLEMENTED IN 2014, A SEPARATE E-MAIL SYSTEM FOR ADDRESSING GENERAL COLLECTION QUERIES RECEIVED VIA VISITOR COMMENT CARDS IS NOW FACILITATING RAPID RESPONSES TO MORE READILY ANSWERED PUBLIC INQUIRIES. MUSEUM STAFF ANTICIPATES THAT RESEARCH REQUESTS WILL INCREASE WITH THE LAUNCH OF ITS ON-LINE COLLECTIONS CATALOGUE, A PILOT VERSION OF WHICH WILL APPEAR IN SEPTEMBER 2016. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM INAUGURATED ITS SCHOLARLY FELLOWS PROGRAM IN 2015, WITH FUNDING PROVIDED BY THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION. THE FIRST CLASS OF 9/11 MEMORIAL MUSEUM MELLON FELLOWS (TWO POST-DOCTORAL PROFESSIONALS SELECTED FROM A COMPETITIVE POOL OF 21 APPLICANTS) BEGAN THEIR ON-SITE INDEPENDENT PROJECTS IN THE FALL OF 2015, PURSUING RESEARCH ON THE TOPICS OF COMMUNAL HOSPITALITY IN RESPONSE TO LARGE-SCALE DISASTERS AND MOTIVATIONS FOR MILITARY ENLISTMENT FOLLOWING 9/11. THEY WILL REMAIN RESIDENT SCHOLARS THROUGH THE FALL OF 2017. PRESERVATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS (III) THE MUSEUM ACTIVELY WORKS TO CONSERVE ITS COLLECTION THROUGH BEST-PRACTICE STANDARDS AIMED AT THE CORRECT HANDLING AND STORAGE OF MUSEUM COLLECTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, COLLECTION OBJECTS ARE REHOUSED AND STORED USING ARCHIVAL MATERIALS. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SECURITY CONTROLS ARE ALSO IN PLACE IN STORAGE AND EXHIBITION SPACES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE COLLECTION. ADDITIONALLY, ONLY TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL MAY HANDLE COLLECTION OBJECTS. IN 2015, THE COLLECTIONS TEAM COMPLETED A MAJOR CONSERVATION PROJECT THAT RESULTED IN THE SAFE REMOUNTING OF ARTIST SPENCER FINCH'S INSTALLATION TRYING TO REMEMBER THE COLOR OF THE SKY THAT SEPTEMBER MORNING. THIS COMMISSIONED ARTWORK CONSISTS OF 2,983 INDIVIDUAL WATERCOLORS, EACH OF WHICH REQUIRED A NEW ARCHIVAL MOUNT AND THOROUGH CLEANING BEFORE GOING BACK ON DISPLAY. CONSERVATORS ALSO PREPARED THE NATIONAL 9/11 FLAG FOR EXHIBITION, VACUUMING THE MONUMENTAL SIZED FLAG, REPAIRING TEARS TO THE FLAG AND ITS MUSLIN BACKING, AND CREATING A STABLE MOUNTING SYSTEM ALLOWING IT TO BE DISPLAYED SAFELY. CUSTOM ARCHIVAL HOUSING WAS CREATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 350 WORKS OF ART COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS THE UNITY CANVAS. LOAN OR EXCHANGE PROGRAMS (IV) IN 2015, THE MUSEUM FINALIZED ONE MULTI-OBJECT LOAN FROM ITS COLLECTIONS TO THE FLIGHT 93 NATIONAL MEMORIAL, THEREBY INCREASING ACCESS TO ITS COLLECTIONS THROUGH EXCHANGE. OUTGOING LOAN REQUESTS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS INSTITUTIONS BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE MUSEUM'S HOLDINGS THROUGH ITS ON-LINE COLLECTIONS PORTAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE MUSEUM PROCESSED 65 INCOMING LOANS FOR EXHIBITION DISPLAY. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO BUILD ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION AND HAS ADOPTED A COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT POLICY TO DEFINE THE SCOPE AND INTELLECTUAL FRAMEWORK OF CONTENT ASSETS AND THE PROCEDURES BY WHICH THESE MATERIALS ARE ACCESSIONED, CATALOGUED AND PRESERVED. THAT DOCUMENT IS REVIEWED, REVISED, AND UPDATED AS NEEDED ON A ONCE EVERY TWO-YEAR BASIS. THROUGH LEADERSHIP OF THE BOARD AND STAFF, THE ORGANIZATION STRIVES TO ESTABLISH, PRESERVE AND DOCUMENT PRIMARY RECORDS, MATERIAL EVIDENCE, SPOKEN TESTIMONY AND OTHER WIDE-RANGING CULTURAL DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 26, 1993 TERRORIST ATTACKS, THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT LEADING UP TO THEM, AND THEIR AFTERMATH AND ONGOING REPERCUSSIONS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO COLLECTS ARTIFACTS, SPOKEN REMEMBRANCES AND OTHER MATERIALS WHICH HONOR AND COMMEMORATE THE VICTIMS OF THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 26, 1993 TERRORIST ATTACKS AND THEIR LEGACIES. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS COLLECTION AVAILABLE AS LOANS TO OTHER MUSEUMS AND PRESENTING INSTITUTIONS, IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD, THAT MEET OUR SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA. THE COLLECTION IS ALSO AVAILABLE, THROUGH ITS CATALOGUE AND BY APPOINTMENT, TO THE PUBLIC FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND IN COOPERATION WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND SCHOOL EDUCATORS FOR THE CREATION OF LESSON PLANS THAT ARE THEN MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE ALSO USED IN EDUCATIONAL AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS FOR THE BENEFIT OF VISITORS. IN 2015, THE ORGANIZATION SPENT $61,787 ON ACQUISITIONS OF COLLECTION ITEMS. THIS INCLUDES A PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR A UNIQUE FILM THAT IS BEING ACQUIRED FROM ITS ARTIST-MAKER OVER SIX ANNUAL PURCHASE INSTALLMENTS, WHICH CONCLUDE IN 2020. THESE ACQUISITIONS WERE FUNDED IN PART BY TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED CASH CONTRIBUTIONS.
PART X, LINE 2:	THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE. THE ORGANIZATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING JURISDICTIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2012.
PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:	LOSS FROM DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT -215,227.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE MEMORIAL HAS ENFORCED AND ACTIVELY MONITORED ITS BOARD-APPROVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. IN 2014, THE MEMORIAL'S EXISTING POLICY WAS UPDATED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW YORK NONPROFIT REVITALIZATION ACT OF 2013. THE POLICY MANDATES THAT ALL EMPLOYEES AND MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY ANNUALLY SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE AND DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS THAT MAY EXIST. EMPLOYEES AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO COMPLETE CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE QUESTIONNAIRES ANNUALLY SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S INCEPTION, AND THIS LAST OCCURRED IN 2015. THE QUESTIONNAIRE MUST ALSO BE COMPLETED ON AN INTERIM BASIS IF NECESSARY DUE TO EMERGING CONFLICTS. THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY'S SIGNED CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRES ARE FILED WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE MEMORIAL. EMPLOYEES' CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS ARE FILED WITH THE CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER. COPIES OF ALL COMPLETED CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRES ARE PROVIDED TO THE MEMBERS OF THE AUDIT AND NOMINATING, COMPENSATION AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. IF A CONFLICT IS REPORTED, THE GENERAL COUNSEL IS CONSULTED. IF AN ACTUAL CONFLICT EXISTS AND INVOLVES A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION INVOLVING A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY, AN OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE THE TRANSACTION IS EVALUATED AND APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF THE INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF A BOARD COMMITTEE BEFORE ANY CONTRACT CAN BE EXECUTED BY THE MEMORIAL. THE AFFECTED MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY IS NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE, DELIBERATE OR OTHERWISE USE HIS OR HER PERSONAL INFLUENCE ON THE MATTER IN QUESTION.
