[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 14, Volume 5, Parts 1200 to end] [Revised as of January 1, 2001] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 14CFR1274.701] [Page 459-460] TITLE 14--AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SPACE ADMINISTRATION PART 1274--COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH COMMERCIAL FIRMS--Table of Contents Subpart G--Suspension and Termination Sec. 1274.701 Suspension or termination. A cooperative agreement provides both NASA and the recipient the ability to terminate the agreement if it is in their best interests to do so. For example, NASA may terminate the agreement if the recipient is not making anticipated technical progress, if the recipient materially fails to comply with [[Page 460]] the terms of the agreement, if the recipient materially changes the objective of the agreement, or if appropriated funds are not available to support the program. Similarly, the recipient may terminate the agreement if, for example, technical progress is not being made, if the firms are shifting their technical emphasis, or if other technological advances have made the effort obsolete. NASA or the recipient may also suspend the cooperative agreement for a short period of time if an assessment needs to be made as to whether the agreement should be terminated.
