The Administrator must charge users of NASA's test facilities at competitive rates. Before charging full cost recovery, the Administrator must notify Congress 30 days ahead. A dedicated funding account keeps test facilities running.
(a) Charges. The Administrator* must set a policy that charges users of NASA's test facilities for their test costs, at a level competitive with alternative test facilities. Before starting a policy of seeking full cost recovery for a facility, the Administrator must wait at least 30 days after telling the House Committee on Science and Technology and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
(b) Funding Account. When planning and budgeting, the Administrator must set up a funding account used for all test facilities. This account must be large enough to keep test facilities viable during periods when they're used less.
