    The NASA Insignia is authorized for use on the following:

    (a) NASA articles. (1) NASA letterhead stationary.

    (2) Films, videotapes, and sound recordings produced by or for NASA.

    (3) Wearing apparel and personal property items used by NASA 

employees in the performance of their duties.

    (4) Required uniforms of contractor employees when performing public 

affairs, guard or fire protection duties, and similar duties within NASA 

Installations or at other assigned NASA duty stations, and on any 

required contractor-owned vehicles used exclusively in the performance 

of these duties, when authorized by NASA contracting officers.

    (5) Spacecraft, aircraft, automobiles, trucks and similar vehicles 

owned by, leased to, or contractor-furnished to NASA, or produced for 

NASA by contractors, but excluding NASA-owned vehicles used and operated 

by contractors for the conduct of contractor business.

    (6) Equipment and facilities owned by, leased to, or contractor-

furnished to NASA, such as machinery, major tools, ground handling 

equipment, office and shop furnishings (if appropriate), and similar 

items of a permanent nature, including those produced for NASA by 

contractors.

    (7) NASA publications, including pamphlets, brochures, manuals, 

handbooks, house organs, bulletins, general reports, posters, signs, 

charts, exhibits, and items of similar nature for general use, as 

specified in the NASA Graphics Standards Manual and the NASA Insignia 

Standards Supplement.

    (8) Briefcases or dispatch cases issued by NASA.

    (9) Certificates covering authority to NASA and contractor security 

personnel to carry firearms.

    (10) NASA occupied buildings when the use of the NASA Insignia is 

more appropriate than use of the NASA Seal.

    (b) Personal articles--NASA employees. (1) Business calling cards of 

NASA employees may carry the imprint of the NASA Insignia.

    (2) Limited usage on automobiles. If determined appropriate by the 

cognizant Installation official, it is acceptable to place a NASA 

Insignia sticker on personal automobiles where such identification will 

facilitate entry or control of such vehicles at NASA Installations or 

parking areas.

    (3) Personal items used in connection with NASA employees' 

recreation association activities.

    (4) Items for sale through NASA employees' nonappropriated fund 

activities subject to paragraph (c) of this section.

    (5) NASA employees shall not use the NASA Insignia in any manner 

that would imply that NASA endorses a commercial product, service, or 

activity or that material of a nonofficial nature represents NASA's 

official position.

    (c) Miscellaneous articles. (1) The manufacture and commercial sale 

of the NASA Insignia as a separate and distinct device in the form of an 

emblem, patch, insignia, badge, decal, vinylcal, cloth, metal, or other 

material which would preclude NASA's control over its use or application 

is prohibited.

    (2) Use of the NASA Uniform Patches, which incorporate the NASA 

Insignia, is authorized only as prescribed in the NASA Graphics 

Standards Manual and the NASA Insignia Standards Supplement, for NASA 

personnel and NASA contractor personnel identification.

    (3) No approval for use of the NASA Insignia will be authorized when 

its use can be construed as an endorsement by NASA of a product or 

service.

    (4) Items bearing the NASA Insignia such as souvenirs, novelties, 

toys, models, clothing, and similar items (including items for sale 

through the NASA employees' nonappropriated fund activities) may be 

manufactured and sold only after the NASA Insignia application has been 

submitted to, and approved by, the Associate Administrator for Public 

Affairs, or designee, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546.

    (d) Use of the NASA Insignia for any other purpose than as 

prescribed in this section is prohibited, except that the Associate 

Administrator for Public Affairs may authorize on a case-by-case basis 

the use of the NASA Insignia for other purposes when the Associate 

Administrator for the Public Affairs deems such use to be appropriate.
