SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) NASA uses enhanced-use leasing to enter 
into agreements with private sector entities, State 
and local governments, academic institutions, and 
other Federal agencies for lease of non-excess, un-
derutilized NASA properties and facilities. 
(2) NASA uses enhanced-use leasing authority 
to support responsible management of its real prop-
erty, including to improve the use of underutilized 
property for activities that are compatible with 
NASA’s mission and to reduce facility operating and 
maintenance costs. 
(3) In fiscal year 2019, under its enhanced-use 
lease authority, NASA leased 65 real properties. 
(4) In fiscal year 2019, NASA’s use of en-
hanced-use leasing resulted in the collection of 
$10,843,025.77 in net revenue. 
(5) In fiscal year 2019, NASA used a portion 
of its enhanced-use leasing revenues for repairs of 
facility control systems such as lighting and heating, 
ventilation, and air conditioning. 
(6) NASA’s use of enhanced-use leasing author-
ity can contribute to reducing the rate of increase of 
the Agency’s overall deferred maintenance cost.
