 Appendix A to Subpart 1214.2--Costs for Which NASA Shall Be Reimbursed

    Total Operating Costs. Total Operating Costs include all direct and 
indirect costs, excluding costs of composing the use charge. Such costs 
include direct program charges for manpower, expended hardware, 
refurbishment of hardware, spares, propellants, provisions, consumables 
and launch and recovery services. They also include a charge for program 
support, center overhead and contract administration.

          Appendix B to Subpart 1214.2--Occupancy Fee Schedule

    For a postponed or cancelled dedicated flight, the occupancy fee 
will be zero.
    For a postponed or cancelled shared flight, the occupancy fee will 
be computed according to the computation instructions set forth below. 
If the computation results in an occupancy fee which is less than zero, 
the occupancy fee will be reset to zero.
    For a postponed or cancelled shared flight one year or less, but 
more than six months before launch, the user shall reimburse NASA an 
occupancy fee of half the user's flight price less any adjusted 
reimbursements from other users who contract for the same flight 
subsequent to the postponement or cancellation date.
    For a postponed or cancelled shared flight six months or less before 
launch, the user shall reimburse NASA an occupancy fee of 90% of the 
user's flight price less any adjusted reimbursements from other users 
who contract for the same flight subsequent to the postponement or 
cancellation date.
    For a given shared flight, if the occupancy fee so computed would 
result in total adjusted reimbursements (exclusive of the 5% (10%) 
postponement (cancellation) fee) in excess of the price of a dedicated 
flight, the occupancy fee will be reduced in order to recover the price 
of a dedicated flight.
    In the event that, as a result of the postponement or cancellation, 
the Shuttle is not launched at all for the intended flight, the 
occupancy fee will be zero.
    For purposes of this attachment, adjusted reimbursements is defined 
to be reimbursements assuming all users are among those defined in 
Sec. 1214.201.
