Summary

Federal departments, agencies, and other government units that deal with space may, if the Administrator asks in writing, provide employees, services, or facilities the Administrator needs. They can do this on a reimbursable basis or not. Employees must agree and giving them must not hurt their job status or rating. They may also, if asked in writing, give any data or information the Administrator needs. Those same agencies may cooperate with the Administration.
