                Subpart 1274.7_Suspension or Termination

 

Sec. 1274.701  Suspension or termination.





    (a) Suspension. NASA or the recipient may suspend the cooperative 

agreement for a mutually agreeable period of time, if an assessment is 

required to determine whether the agreement should be terminated.

    (b) Termination. (1) 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, by giving the other party prior written notice. 

Upon receipt of a notice of termination, the receiving party shall take 

immediate steps to stop the accrual of any additional obligations, which 

might require payment.

    (2) NASA may, for example, terminate the Agreement if the recipient 

is not making anticipated technical progress, if the recipient 

materially changes the objectives of the agreement, or if appropriated 

funds are not available to support the program.

    (3) Similarly, the recipient may terminate the agreement if, for 

example, technical progress is not being made, if the commercial 

recipient shifts its technical emphasis, or if other technological 

advances have made the effort obsolete.

    (4) If the cooperative agreement is terminated by either NASA or the 

recipient and NASA elects to continue the project with a party other 

than the recipient, the right of the government to use data first 

produced by either NASA or the recipient in the performance of this 

agreement is covered by 1274.905(b). See Sec. 1274.208(l)(6) to assure 

that appropriate language is contained in Sec. 1274.905(b).
