NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

14 CFR Part 1210

[Notice (08-045)]
RIN 2700-AC81


Development Work for Industry in NASA Wind Tunnels

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is 
amending its regulations by removing part 1210. This amendment will 
allow Agency, Center, and wind tunnel facility operations manuals to 
provide guidance on project priority, facility utilization charges, and 
test preparation and conduct.

DATES: Effective July 14, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Technical information: Michael George, 
650-604-5881.
    Legal information: Rebecca Gilchrist, 202-358-2072.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The amendment of 14 CFR part 1210 will 
eliminate existing errors in reference to Agency policy, offices, and 
positions. The amendment will also eliminate redundancy and conflicts 
in guidance regarding the establishment of agreements with other 
government agencies, industry, academia, and foreign entities as 
outlined in 14 CFR 1210.1 thru 1210.5. Authority, regulation, and 
guidance for these types of agreements are provided by the following 
policies: 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(1), section 203(c)(1) of the National 
Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended; NASA Financial 
Management Requirements Vol. 16 Reimbursable Agreements; NASA Policy 
Directive 1050.1H Authority to Enter Space Act Agreements; and NAII 
1050-1A Space Act Agreement Manual.
    The amendment will eliminate existing errors in 14 CFR 1210.6 Test 
Preparation and Conduct which provides guidance in facility operational 
testing procedures. For example, the section does not address the 
implementation of NASA export control policy regarding data handling 
and transfer as required by the following: 50 U.S.C. Appendix, parts 
2401-2420, the Export Administration Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-72), as 
amended, 15 CFR parts 730-774, Export Administration Regulations, 22 
CFR parts 120-130, International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
    Facility-specific, day-to-day operational procedures will be, and 
currently are, dictated by Agency and Center policy which can be found 
in documents such as:
    APR 8800.7, R&D Facilities Services Core Processes, February 6, 
2006.
    NASA TM-1999-208478/Rev1 Glenn 1X1 Supersonic Wind Tunnel User 
Manual.
    NASA TM 2004-21697 User Manual for 10X10 Supersonic Wind Tunnel.
    Standards Handbook for Planning and Conducting Wind Tunnel Tests at 
Glenn Research Center.
    The amendment will ensure Agency, Center, and facility policy to 
provide guidance where deemed appropriate and ease the process for 
changing and maintaining these documents by placing that responsibility 
at the appropriate management level.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 1210

and facilities, Government contracts, Intergovernmental relations,
