Sec.  1210.5  Government projects.

    (a) Initiation of Government projects. Government projects shall be 
initiated through a conference of representatives from the contracted 
company, the sponsoring Government agency, and the staff of the NASA 
center having responsibility for the facility proposed for the project. 
The purpose of the conference will be to establish the technical basis 
for the project and why the NASA facility is required as well as to 
define the extent of the test program, model and instrumentation 
requirements, and schedule. Upon concurrence of the NASA staff, the 
sponsoring Government agency will submit a letter of request to the 
Center Director. A Safety Analysis Report (SAR) will be required, 
describing the potential hazards that the project test program, model, 
and equipment may present to NASA facilities and personnel, as well as 
other documentation required by the facility management to assure that 
safety requirements have been met.
    (b) Scheduling of tests. In scheduling time for Government projects, 
the responsible NASA center will consider the merits of all projects, 
including Government, company, and NASA research work relative to the 
national interest and priorities specified in Sec.  1210.3. Every 
reasonable attempt will be made to accommodate technically justifiable 
projects on a timely basis.
    (c) Test data transmittal. The basic data for Government projects, 
without detailed analysis but with the necessary description of methods 
and techniques employed to permit the proper interpretation of the data, 
will be transmitted to the company for whom the tests were made and to 
the sponsoring Government agency. Further disclosure by NASA of the test 
results will be made only with the prior concurrence of the sponsoring 
Government agency.
