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, underutilized NASA properties and facilities. (2) NASA uses enhanced-use leasing authority to support responsible management of its real property, 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 enhanced-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 authority can contribute to reducing the rate of increase of the Agency’s overall deferred maintenance cost. 3.
