Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Landsat 7 Data Policy.—** The Landsat Program Management, in consultation with other appropriate United States Government agencies, shall develop a data policy for Landsat 7 which should—
(1) ensure that unenhanced data are available to all users at the cost of fulfilling user requests;
(2) ensure timely and dependable delivery of unenhanced data to the full spectrum of civilian, national security, commercial, and foreign users and the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive;
(3) ensure that the United States retains ownership of all unenhanced data generated by Landsat 7;
(4) support the development of the commercial market for remote sensing data;
(5) ensure that the provision of commercial value-added services based on remote sensing data remains exclusively the function of the private sector; and
(6) to the extent possible, ensure that the data distribution system for Landsat 7 is compatible with the Earth Observing System Data and Information System.
**(b) Additional Data Policy Considerations.—** In addition, the data policy for Landsat 7 may provide for—
(1) United States private sector entities to operate ground receiving stations in the United States for Landsat 7 data;
(2) other means for direct access by private sector entities to unenhanced data from Landsat 7; and
(3) the United States Government to charge a per image fee, license fee, or other such fee to entities operating ground receiving stations or distributing Landsat 7 data.

15 U.S.C. 5611.
Pub. L. 102–555, title I, § 101,
Oct. 28, 1992, 106 Stat. 4166.
In subsection (b), in the matter before paragraph (1),
after
the
words
‘‘funding
expectations
for
the
Landsat’’, the word ‘‘program’’ is set out without being
capitalized to correct an error in the law.
In subsection (c)(6), the words ‘‘sections 102 and 103 of
the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992 (Public
Law 102–555, 106 Stat. 4168)’’ are substituted for ‘‘sec-
tions 102 and 103’’ to clarify the reference. The ref-
erence to sections 102 and 103 of the Land Remote Sens-
ing Policy Act of 1992 is retained in text, notwith-
standing the fact that sections 102 and 103 of the Act
are repealed as obsolete, because oversight responsibil-
ities may continue for contracts entered into under the
now obsolete provisions.
In subsection (e)(2), in the matter before subpara-
graph (A), the word ‘‘biennially’’ is substituted for
‘‘Within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this
Act and biennially thereafter,’’ to eliminate obsolete
language.
