The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall allocate the amount of budgetary resources canceled among the agency’s accounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses. Amounts available for procurement and procurement-related expenses in each such account shall be reduced by the amount allocated to such account. For the purposes of this paragraph, the definition of “procurement” includes all stages of the process of acquiring property or services, beginning with the process of determining a need for a product or service and ending with contract completion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2). Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds appropriated for “Human space flight”, “Science, aeronautics and technology”, or “Mission support” by this appropriations Act, when any activity has been initiated by the incurrence of obligations for construction of facilities as authorized by law, the amount available108 STAT. 2328 for such activity shall remain available until expended. This provision does not apply to the amounts appropriated in “Mission support” pursuant to the authorization for repair, rehabilitation and modification of facilities, minor construction of new facilities and additions to existing facilities, and facility planning and design. Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds appropriated for “Human space flight”, “Science, aeronautics and technology”, or “Mission support” by this appropriations Act, the amounts appropriated for construction of facilities shall remain available until September 30, 1997. Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds appropriated for “Mission support”, amounts made available by this Act for personnel and related costs and travel expenses of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall remain available until September 30, 1995 and may be used to enter into contracts for training, investigations, cost associated with personnel relocation, and for other services, to be provided during the next fiscal year. No amount appropriated pursuant to this or any other Act may be used for the lease or construction of a new contractor-funded facility for exclusive use in support of a contract or contracts with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under which the Administration would be required to substantially amortize through payment or reimbursement such contractor investment, unless an appropriations Act specifies the lease or contract pursuant to which such facilities are to be constructed or leased or such facility is otherwise identified in such Act. The Administrator may authorize such facility lease or construction, if he determines, in consultation with the Committees on Appropriations, that deferral of such action until the enactment of the next appropriations Act would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation in aeronautical and space activities. The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to NASA for activities for which funds are provided under this Act may be transferred to the new account established for the appropriation that provides funds for such activity under this Act. Balances so transferred may be merged with funds in the newly established account and thereafter may be accounted for as one fund to be available for the same purposes and under the same terms and conditions.
