 104 STAT. 3196 PUBLIC LAW 101-611—NOV. 16, 1990 circumstances of such, may be varied upward 25 percent to meet unusual cost variations. The total cost of all work authorized under paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not exceed the total of amounts specified in section 103(a)(3)(A) through (QQ). SEC. 105. SPECIAL REPROGRAMMING AUTHORITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES. Where the Administrator determines that new developments or scientific or engineering changes in the national program of aeronautical and space activities have occurred; and that such changes require the use of additional funds for the purposes of construction, expansion, or modification of facilities at any location; and that deferral of such action until the enactment of the next authorization Act would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation in aeronautical and space activities; the Administrator may transfer not to exceed one-half of 1 percent of the funds appropriated pursuant to section 103(a)(1) or (2) to the "construction of facilities" appropriation for such purposes. The Administrator may also use up to $10,000,000 of the amounts authorized under section 103(a)(3) for such purposes. The funds so made available pursuant to this section may be expended to acquire, construct, convert, rehabilitate, or install permanent or temporary public works, including land acquisition, site preparation, appurtenances, utilities, and equipment. Reports. No such funds may be obligated until a period of 30 days has passed after the Administrator or the Administrator's designee has transmitted to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a written report describing the nature of the construction, its cost, and the reasons therefor. SEC. 106. CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title— (1) no amount appropriated pursuant to this title may be used for any program deleted by the Congress from requests as originally made to either the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives or the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate; (2) no amount appropriated pursuant to this title may be used for any program in excess of the amount actually authorized for that particular program by section 103(a)(1), (2), and (4); and (3) no amount appropriated pursuant to this title may be used for any program which has not been presented to either such committee, unless a period of 30 days has passed after the receipt by each such committee of notice given by the Administrator containing a full and complete statement of the action proposed to be taken and the facts and circumstances relied upon in support of such proposed action. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall keep the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate fully and currently informed with respect to all activities and responsibilities within the jurisdiction of those committees. Any Federal department, agency, or independent establishment shall furnish any information requested by either committee relating to any such activity or responsibility.
