51 U.S.C. § 20142 — Contracts regarding expendable launch vehicles

**(a) Commitments Beyond Available Appropriations.—** The Administrator may enter into contracts for expendable launch vehicle services that are for periods in excess of the period for which funds are otherwise available for obligation, provide for the payment for contingent liability which may accrue in excess of available appropriations in the event the Federal Government for its convenience terminates such contracts, and provide for advance payments reasonably related to launch vehicle and related equipment, fabrication, and acquisition costs, if any such contract limits the amount of the payments that the Government is allowed to make under such contract to amounts provided in advance in appropriation Acts. Such contracts may be limited to sources within the United States when the Administrator determines that such limitation is in the public interest. **(b) Termination if Funds Not Available.—** If funds are not available to continue any such contract, the contract shall be terminated for the convenience of the Government, and the costs of such contract shall be paid from appropriations originally available for performance of the contract, from other unobligated appropriations currently available for the procurement of launch services, or from funds appropriated for such payments.

Page 38 TITLE 51—NATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACE PROGRAMS § 20140 HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Revised Section Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large) 20139 .......... 42 U.S.C. 2458c. Pub. L. 85–568, title III, § 309, formerly title III, as added Pub. L. 106–74, title IV, § 435(a), Oct. 20, 1999, 113 Stat. 1097; designated § 309 and amended Pub. L. 106–391, title III, § 324(a)(2), (b), Oct. 30, 2000, 114 Stat. 1599, 1600; Pub. L. 109–155, title VII, § 702, Dec. 30, 2005, 119 Stat. 2936. In subsection (d)(3), the words ‘‘without regard to the date on which the Administration entered into the waiver’’ are substituted for ‘‘without regard to whether it was entered into before, on, or after the date of en- actment of this Act’’ to avoid an ambiguity in the law. Literally, the words ‘‘the date of enactment of this Act’’ mean July 29, 1958, the date of enactment of Pub- lic Law 85–568. However, the intended meaning of the words ‘‘the date of enactment of this Act’’ is probably October 20, 1999, the date of enactment of Public Law 106–74. The question as to which date is actually in- tended is rendered inconsequential by the words ‘‘be- fore, on, or after’’. § 20140. Appropriations (a) AUTHORIZATION.— (1) IN GENERAL.—There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this chapter, except that nothing in this chapter shall authorize the appropria- tion of any amount for— (A) the acquisition or condemnation of any real property; or (B) any other item of a capital nature (such as plant or facility acquisition, con- struction, or expansion) which exceeds $250,000. (2) AVAILABILITY.—Sums appropriated pursu- ant to this subsection for the construction of facilities, or for research and development ac- tiv
