(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

NASA’s mission and to reduce the costs of operating 
and maintaining them.

hanced use leasing resulted in the collection of 
$6,766,967.70 in net revenue.

of its enhanced use leasing revenues for repairs of 
facility control systems such as heating, ventilation, 
and air conditioning. 
(5) 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.
