      of satellite tracking support to entities outside United States
      Government

-STATUTE-
      (a) Pilot Program. - The Secretary of Defense may carry out a
    pilot program to determine the feasibility and desirability of
    providing to non-United States Government entities space
    surveillance data support described in subsection (b).
      (b) Space Surveillance Data Support. - Under such a pilot
    program, the Secretary may provide to a non-United States
    Government entity, subject to an agreement described in subsection
    (d), the following:
        (1) Satellite tracking services from assets owned or controlled
      by the Department of Defense, but only if the Secretary
      determines, in the case of any such agreement, that providing
      such services to that entity is in the national security
      interests of the United States.
        (2) Space surveillance data and the analysis of space
      surveillance data, but only if the Secretary determines, in the
      case of any such agreement, that providing such data and analysis
      to that entity is in the national security interests of the
      United States.

      (c) Eligible Entities. - Under the pilot program, the Secretary
    may provide space surveillance data support to non-United States
    Government entities including the following:
        (1) State governments.
        (2) Governments of political subdivisions of States.
        (3) United States commercial entities.
        (4) Governments of foreign countries.
        (5) Foreign commercial entities.

      (d) Required Agreement. - The Secretary may not provide space
    surveillance data support to a non-United States Government entity
    under the pilot program unless that entity enters into an agreement
    with the Secretary under which the entity - 
        (1) agrees to pay an amount that may be charged by the
      Secretary under subsection (e); and
        (2) agrees not to transfer any data or technical information
      received under the agreement, including the analysis of tracking
      data, to any other entity without the express approval of the
      Secretary.

      (e) Rule of Construction Concerning Provision of Intelligence
    Assets or Data. - Nothing in this section shall be considered to
    authorize the provision of services or information concerning, or
    derived from, United States intelligence assets or data.
      (f) Charges. - (1) As a condition of an agreement under
    subsection (d), the Secretary may (except as provided in paragraph
    (2)) require the non-United States Government entity entering into
    the agreement to pay to the Department of Defense such amounts as
    the Secretary determines to be necessary to reimburse the
    Department for the costs of the Department of providing space
    surveillance data support under the agreement.
      (2) The Secretary may not require the government of a State or of
    a political subdivision of a State to pay any amount under
    paragraph (1).
      (g) Crediting of Funds Received. - Funds received for the
    provision of space surveillance data support pursuant to an
    agreement under this section shall be credited to accounts of the
    Department of Defense that are current when the funds are received
    and that are available for the same purposes as the accounts
    originally charged to provide such support. Funds so credited shall
    merge with and become available for obligation for the same period
    as the accounts to which they are credited.
      (h) Procedures. - The Secretary shall establish procedures for
    the conduct of the pilot program. As part of those procedures, the
    Secretary may allow space surveillance data and analysis of space
    surveillance data to be provided through a contractor of the
    Department of Defense.
      (i) Duration of Pilot Program. - The pilot program under this
    section may be conducted through September 30, 2009.
