    (a) The policy statement in 27.402 applies to all executive 
agencies. The remainder of the subpart sets forth civilian agency and 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) policies, 
procedures, and instructions with respect to (1) rights in data and 
copyrights and (2) acquisition of data. However, these policies, 
procedures, and instructions are not required to be applicable to NASA 
solicitations until December 31, 1987 (or until such other date as the 
NASA FAR Supplement is revised to accommodate the policies, procedures, 
and instructions contained in this subpart). Due to the special mission 
needs of the Department of Defense (DOD) and as required by 10 U.S.C. 
2320, the remainder of the DOD policies, procedures, and instructions 
with respect to rights in data and copyrights and acquisition of data 
are contained in the DOD FAR Supplement (DFARS).
    (b) Civilian agencies other than NASA shall implement section 203 of 
Public Law 98-577 pertaining to validation of proprietary data 
restrictions.
