For the 1980 census only, the usual 15% rental price limit on government leases did not apply to the Census Bureau's leases. But the Bureau still couldn't rent space for more than 105% of its fair market rental value, or a matching share of that for a lease under a year.

This section is a single, undivided provision. Normally, a rule in the Act of June 30, 1932 caps government office leases at 15% of a set limit. This section lifts that 15% cap for leases the Secretary entered into for the purpose of carrying out the 1980 decennial census. However, a new limit takes its place: no such lease could be signed for more than 105% of the leased space's appraised fair annual rental value. If the lease covered less than a full year, the cap was a matching, proportional share of that 105% figure.
