A discussion of how to calculate asymptotic expansions for polyhomogeneous spacetimes using the Newman-Penrose formalism is made. The existence of logarithmic Newman-Penrose constants for a general polyhomogeneous spacetime (i.e. a polyhomogeneous spacetime such that <sub>0</sub> = O(r<sup>-3</sup>ln<sup>N<sub>3</sub></sup>)) is addressed. It is found that these constants exist for the generic case.
