§ 60148. Enforcement
(a) IN
GENERAL.—In order to ensure that
unenhanced data from the Landsat system re-
ceived solely for noncommercial purposes are
not used for any commercial purpose, the Sec-
retary (in collaboration with private sector enti-
ties responsible for the marketing and distribu-
tion of unenhanced data generated by the
Landsat system) shall develop and implement a
system for enforcing this prohibition, in the
event that unenhanced data from the Landsat
system are made available for noncommercial
purposes at a different price than such data are
made available for other purposes.
(b) AUTHORITY OF SECRETARY.—Subject to sub-
section (d), the Secretary may impose any of the
enforcement
mechanisms
described
in
sub-
section (c) against a person that—

made available for other purposes); and

commercial purposes.
(c) ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS.—Enforcement
mechanisms referred to in subsection (b) may
include civil penalties of not more than $10,000

unenhanced data purchasing privileges, and any
other penalties or restrictions the Secretary
considers necessary to ensure, to the greatest
extent practicable, that unenhanced data pro-
vided for noncommercial purposes are not used
to unfairly compete in the commercial market
