    (a) Pricing basis. To the extent practical, optional services will 
be provided on a fixed-price or fixed-rate basis. If this is not 
practical, the price will be on a governmental cost basis; i.e., the 
actual cost or in certain cases the estimated actual costs.

subject to escalation will be escalated in accordance with the 
provisions of Sec.  1214.103(d).
    (c) Schedules of payments. NASA will establish payment schedules for 
optional services and will incorporate those schedules in the launch 
agreement at the time a particular optional service is agreed to between 
the customer and NASA.
    (d) Late payment fees. Customers who do not make payments by the due 
dates defined by NASA will be subject to a late payment fee established 
by NASA in the launch agreement.
