Sec. 1204.1404  Requests for use of NASA airfield facilities.



    (a) Request for use of a NASA airfield, whether on a one time or 

recurring basis, must be in writing and addressed to the appropriate 

NASA facility, namely:

    (1) Shuttle Landing Facility. Director of Center Support Operations, 

John F. Kennedy Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899.

    (2) Wallops Airport. Director of Suborbital Projects and Operations, 

Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island,

    (3) Moffett Federal Airfield and Crows Landing Flight Facility. 

Chief, Airfield Management Office, Ames Research Center, Mail Stop 158-

1, Moffett Field, California 94035-1000.

    (b) Such requests will:

    (1) Fully identify the prospective user and aircraft.

    (2) State the purpose of the proposed use and the reason why the use 

of the NASA airfield is proposed rather than a commercial airport.

    (3) Indicate the expected annual use, to include number and 

approximate date(s) and time(s) of such proposed use.

    (4) State that the prospective user is prepared to fully comply with 

the terms of this subpart 14 and the use permit which may be issued.

    (c) Upon receipt of the written request for permission to use the 

airport, the NASA official designated by each facility will request 

additional information, if necessary, and forward both this regulation 

and the required Hold Harmless Agreement for execution by the requestor 

or forward, where appropriate, a denial of the request.

    (d) The signed original of the Hold Harmless Agreement shall be 

returned to the designated NASA official, and a copy retained in the 

aircraft at all times. Such copy shall be exhibited upon proper demand 

by any designated NASA official.

    (e) At the same time that the prospective user returns the executed 

original of the Hold Harmless Agreement, the user shall forward to the 

designated NASA official the required Certificate of Insurance and 

waiver of rights to subrogation. Such certificate shall evidence that 

during any period for which a permit to use is being requested, the 

prospective user has in force a policy of insurance covering liability 

in amounts not less than those listed in the Hold Harmless Agreement.

    (f) When the documents (in form and substance) required by 

paragraphs b through e of this section have been received, they will be 

forwarded with a proposed use permit to the approving authority for 

action.

    (g) The designated NASA official will forward the executed use 

permit or notification of denial thereof to the prospective user after 

the approving authority has acted.
