Appendix A to Subpart 1214.2 of Part 1214--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 of Part 1214--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.



[[Page 111]]



    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.
