National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1990

Summary

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act, 1990 - Authorizes FY 1990 appropriations to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Inspector General and for specified activities relating to: (1) research and development; (2) space flight, control, and data communications; (3) construction of facilities; and (4) research and program management, including scientific consultations. Permits appropriations for the first two numbered categories to be used for certain items of a capital nature (other than land acquisition) required for the performance of research and development contracts, and for grants to nonprofit educational and research organizations to augment their research facilities. Prohibits the use of these funds for the construction of any major facility whose estimated cost exceeds $500,000, unless the Administrator of NASA notifies specified congressional leadership and committees. Authorizes fund use, subject to limitations, for facilities construction, repair, or modification and for unforeseen programmatic facility project needs. Authorizes FY 1991 through 1992 appropriations to NASA for authorized programs, other than with respect to Space Station Freedom. Permits upward variances of funds for facilities construction under circumstances outlined in this Act. Authorizes certain fund transfers and makes available specified funds for the construction and modification of laboratories and other installations. Requires the Administrator to notify specified congressional leadership and committees of the nature, cost, and need for such construction before expending the funds in question. Prohibits, until 30 days following congressional receipt of the Administrator's full explanation, the use of funds appropriated pursuant to this Act for any program that: (1) has been eliminated by the Congress; (2) is in excess of the amount actually authorized for the particular program (except for construction of facilities); or (3) has not been presented to either of the relevant congressional committees. Amends the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 to: (1) permit the Administrator to prohibit the public disclosure of certain technical data requiring an export license; (2) deem any invention made, used, or sold in outer space on an aeronautical and space vehicle under U.S. jurisdiction or control to be made, used, or sold in the United States; and (3) authorize the NASA Administrator to enter into contracts, leases, or agreements that provide for private financing of special purpose facility projects for NASA use. Sets conditions to govern the initiation of such privately financed projects. Declares it to be the sense of the Congress that it is in the national interest to consider geographical distribution, whenever feasible, in allotting Federal research funds and that NASA should explore ways to do so.
