providing radiological emergency planning, preparedness, response and 
associated services. Such fees will be assessed in a manner that 
reflects the use of agency resources for classes of regulated persons

accounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses. 
Amounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses in

account. For the purposes of this paragraph, the definition of 
``procurement'' includes 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 completion and 
closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).

    Of the budgetary resources available to the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration during fiscal year 1995, $59,003,000 are 
permanently canceled. The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration shall allocate the amount of budgetary resources 
canceled among the agency's accounts available for procurement and 
procurement-related expenses. Amounts available for procurement and 
procurement-related 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'' includes 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 
completion 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 facilities as authorized by law, the amount available 
for such activity shall remain available until expended. This provision 
does not apply to the amounts appropriated in ``Mission support'' 
pursuant to the authorization for repair, rehabilitation and

Administration would be required to substantially amortize through 
payment or reimbursement such contractor investment, unless an 
appropriations Act specifies the lease or contract pursuant to which 
such facilities are to be constructed or leased or such facility is 
otherwise identified in such Act. The Administrator may authorize such 
facility 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.
