‘‘(b) FUNDED SPACE ACT AGREEMENTS.—To the extent

ties under a funded Space Act Agreement in order to
advance NASA’s mission.

nonexclusive basis;
‘‘(B) in a manner that ensures all non-government
parties have equal access to NASA resources; and
‘‘(C) exercising reasonable care not to reveal
unique or proprietary information.
‘‘(2) EXCLUSIVITY.—If the Administrator determines
an exclusive arrangement is necessary, the Adminis-
trator shall, to the greatest extent practicable, issue
the Space Act Agreement—

when exclusive arrangements are necessary; and
‘‘(B) pursuant to public announcements when ex-
clusive arrangements are necessary.

licly disclose on the Administration’s website and
