ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Ω102æOf the budgetary resources available to the Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Administration during fiscal
year 1995, $59,003,000 are permanently canceled. The
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration shall allocate the amount of budgetary re-
sources canceled among the agency’s accounts available
for
procurement
and
procurement-related
expenses.
Amounts available for procurement and procurement-re-
lated expenses in each such account shall be reduced by
the amount allocated to such account. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the definition of ‘‘procurement’’ in-
cludes all stages of the process of acquiring property or
services, beginning with the process of determining a need
for a product or service and ending with contract comple-
tion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of
funds appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science,
aeronautics and technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this
appropriations Act, when any activity has been initiated
by the incurrence of obligations for construction of facili-
ties as authorized by law, the amount available for such
activity shall remain available until expended. This provi-
HR 4624 PP
sion does not apply to the amounts appropriated in ‘‘Mis-
sion support’’ pursuant to the authorization for repair, re-
habilitation and modification of facilities, minor construc-
tion of new facilities and additions to existing facilities,
and facility planning and design.
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of
funds appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science,
aeronautics and technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this
appropriations Act, the amounts appropriated for con-
struction of facilities shall remain available until Septem-
ber 30, 1997.
Ω103æNotwithstanding the limitation on the availabil-
ity of funds appropriated for ‘‘Mission support’’, amounts
made available by this Act for personnel and related costs
and travel expenses of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration shall remain available until September 30,
1995 and may be used to enter into contracts for training,
investigations, cost associated with personnel relocation,
and for other services, to be provided during the next fiscal
year.
No amount appropriated pursuant to this or any
other Act may be used for the lease or construction of
a new contractor-funded facility for exclusive use in sup-
port of a contract or contracts with the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration under which the Admin-
HR 4624 PP
istration would be required to substantially amortize
through payment or reimbursement such contractor in-
vestment, unless an appropriations Act specifies the lease
or contract pursuant to which such facilities are to be con-
structed or leased or such facility is otherwise identified
in such Act. The Administrator may authorize such facil-
ity lease or construction, if he determines, in consultation
with the Committees on Appropriations, that deferral of
such action until the enactment of the next appropriations
Act would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation
in aeronautical and space activities.
The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to
NASA for activities for which funds are provided under
this Act may be transferred to the new account established
for the appropriation that provides funds for such activity
under this Act. Balances so transferred may be merged
with funds in the newly established account and thereafter
may be accounted for as one fund to be available for the
same purposes and under the same terms and conditions.
Ω104æThe fourth proviso in the paragraph under the
heading ‘‘Science, space, and technology education trust
fund’’ in the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment—Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1989
(Public Law 101–404, 102 Stat. 1014, 1028) is amended
HR 4624 PP
by striking out ‘‘for a ten-year period’’ and inserting in
lieu thereof ‘‘hereafter’’.
Ω105æNotwithstanding any other provision of law or
regulation, the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration shall convey, without reimbursement, to the City of
Slidell, Louisiana, all rights, title, and interest of the
United States in the property, including all improvements
thereon, known as the Slidell Computer Complex, and con-
sisting of approximately 14 acres in the City of Slidell, St.
Tammany Parish, Louisiana: Provided, That appropriated
funds may be used to effect this conveyance: Provided fur-
ther, in consideration of this conveyance, the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration may require such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appro-
priate to protect the interests of the United States.
Ω106æOf amounts made available within this Act to
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, not
more than $108,900,000 shall be obligated to satisfy the re-
quirements set forth in section 9(e)–(r) of the Small Busi-
ness Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 638(e)–(r)), and any relat-
ed requirements, including such requirements enacted in
