NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

14 CFR Part 1214


Use of Small Self-Contained Payloads

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Interim final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NASA is removing its rule on use of small self-contained 
payloads. This rule, in effect since August 31, 1992, revised the 
prices for standard launch support of Small Self-Contained Payloads 
(SSCP), as well as clarified and amended other features of the SSCP 
policy. It addressed conditions of use of the space shuttle, 
reimbursement policy, flight schedule and reflight, patent and data 
rights, among other things. NASA plans to issue a new policy whereby 
domestic educational institutions will have priority ranking in the 
manifest process.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 23, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynda Cywanowicz, 202-358-1673.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rule removed in this document was 
originally published at 45 FR 73023, November 4, 1980, and was codified 
in the Code of Federal Regulations at 14 CFR part 1214, subpart 1214.9. 
The proposed new policy will be separately published in the Federal 
Register, for notice and comment, before becoming a final rule.
