     SEC. 426. COST LIMITATION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE 
                   STATION.

       (a) Limitation of Costs.--Except as provided in subsection 
     (c), the total amount appropriated for all fiscal years for--
       (1) costs of the International Space Station through 
     completion of assembly may not exceed $21,900,000,000; and
       (2) space shuttle launch costs in connection with the 
     assembly of the International Space Station through 
     completion of assembly may not exceed $17,700,000,000 
     (determined at the rate of $380,000,000 per space shuttle 
     flight).
       (b) Costs to Which Limitation Applies.--
       (1) Development costs.--The limitation imposed by 
     subsection (a)(1) does not apply to funding for operations, 
     research, and crew return activities subsequent to 
     substantial completion of the International Space Station.
       (2) Launch costs.--The limitation imposed by subsection 
     (a)(2) does not apply to space shuttle launch costs in 
     connection with operations, research, and crew return 
     activities subsequent to substantial completion of the 
     International Space Station.
       (3) Substantial completion.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the International Space Station is considered to 
     be substantially completed when the development costs 
     comprise 5 percent or less of the total International Space 
     Station costs for the fiscal year.
       (c) Automatic Increase of Limitation Amount.--The amounts 
     set forth in subsection (a) shall each be increased to 
     reflect any increase in costs attributable to--
       (1) economic inflation;
       (2) compliance with changes in Federal, State, or local 
     laws enacted after the date of enactment of this Act;

       (4) new technologies to improve safety, reliability, 
     maintainability, availability, or utilization of the 
     International Space Station, or to reduce costs after 
     completion of assembly, including increases in costs for on-
     orbit assembly sequence problems, increased ground testing, 
     verification and integration activities, contingency 
     responses to on-orbit failures, and design improvements to 
     reduce the risk of on-orbit failures.
       (d) Notice of Changes.--The Administrator of the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration shall provide with each 
     annual budget request a written notice and analysis of any 
     changes under subsection (c) to the amounts set forth in

     Representatives Committees on Appropriations and on Science. 
     The written notice shall include--
       (1) an explanation of the basis for the change, including 
     the costs associated with the change and the expected benefit 
     to the program to be derived from the change; and
       (2) an analysis of the impact on the assembly schedule and 
     annual funding estimates of not receiving the requested 
     increases.
       (e) Reporting and Review.--
       (1) Identification of costs.--
       (A) Space shuttle.--As part of the overall space shuttle 
     program budget request for each fiscal year, the 
     Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration shall identify separately the amounts of the 
     requested funding that are to be used for completion of the 
     assembly of the International Space Station.
       (B) International space station.--As part of the overall 
     International Space Station budget request for each fiscal 
     year, the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration shall identify the amount to be used for 
     development of the International Space Station.
       (2) Accounting for cost limitations.--As part of the annual 
     budget request to the Congress, the Administrator of the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall account 
     for the cost limitations imposed by subsection (a).
       (3) Verification of accounting.--The Administrator of the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall arrange 
     for a verification, by the General Accounting Office, of the 
     accounting submitted to the Congress within 60 days after the 
     date on which the budget request is transmitted to the 
     Congress.
       (4) Inspector general.--Within 60 days after the 
     Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration provides a notice and analysis to the Congress 
     under subsection (d), the Inspector General of the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration shall review the notice
