**(a) Establishment.—** The Administrator and the Secretary of Defense shall be responsible for management of the Landsat program. Such responsibility shall be carried out by establishing an integrated program management structure for the Landsat system.
**(b) Management Plan.—** The Administrator, the Secretary of Defense, and any other United States Government official the President designates as responsible for part of the Landsat program shall establish, through a management plan, the roles, responsibilities, and funding expectations for the Landsat program of the appropriate United States Government agencies. The management plan shall—
(1) specify that the fundamental goal of the Landsat Program Management is the continuity of unenhanced Landsat data through the acquisition and operation of a Landsat 7 satellite as quickly as practicable which is, at a minimum, functionally equivalent to the Landsat 6 satellite, with the addition of a tracking and data relay satellite communications capability;
(2) include a baseline funding profile that—
(A) is mutually acceptable to the Administration and the Department of Defense for the period covering the development and operation of Landsat 7; and
(B) provides for total funding responsibility of the Administration and the Department of Defense, respectively, to be approximately equal to the funding responsibility of the other as spread across the development and operational life of Landsat 7;
(3) specify that any improvements over the Landsat 6 functional equivalent capability for Landsat 7 will be funded by a specific sponsoring agency or agencies, in a manner agreed to by the Landsat Program Management, if the required funding exceeds the baseline funding profile required by paragraph (2), and that additional impr

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are repealed as obsolete, because oversight responsibil-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.
