time, set up and/or configuration time, TDRSS contact time, and all 
other conditions for which TDRSS services were allocated to the user.
    (3) Charges will be accumulated by the minute, based on the

for other users at the end of a support period.
    (c) The user shall reimburse NASA for the costs of any mission 
unique services provided by NASA.
    (d) Any person or entity which pays to NASA the initial 
administrative charge (see Sec.  1215.115) does so with the 
understanding that it is not refundable whether or not an agreement is 
entered into with NASA for TDRSS services.
