    (a) Non-U.S. Government user rates will reflect TDRSS total 
operational and maintenance costs prorated to a per-minute basis.
    (b) Rates for TDRSS services will be set by the Associate 
Administrator for Space Operations each October for the following year, 
January through December. Rate variations will reflect changes in 
operating costs, loading formulas and escalation.
    (c) Projected estimates will include escalation bases on the Bureau 
of Labor Statistics Index for compensation per hour--total private.
    (d) Appendix A is provided for preliminary planning purposes only. 
It delineates the rate per minute by service and type of user. These 
rates are subject to change.
    (e) The per minute charge for TDRSS service is computed by 
multiplying the charge per minute for the appropriate service by the 
number of minutes scheduled and the appropriate factor (for flexible, 
constrained or disruptive/emergency service).
