agencies, as a condition to obtaining duty-free entry under this subpart, that the customer agree in the relevant launch agreement not to use or in any manner dispose of those articles in the United States other than in connection with a launch into space; and (5) The anticipated date of entry and port of entry for each article. If the article is to be transported in bond from the port of arrival to another port of entry in the United States, identify both ports. for (c) The signed certificate and its attachment will be forwarded to the NASA Installation responsible duty-free entry of the materials. The procedures specified in 19 CFR 10.102 will be followed by the NASA Installation in obtaining duty-free entry at the Customs port of entry. The NASA Installation should ensure that, at the time the articles are to be released after Customs entry, the custody of the imported articles is transferred directly from the carrier or from the U.S. Customs Service to the NASA launch service customer or its agent. (d) If articles procured under contract by NASA are imported prior to compliance with these procedures and it is essential that the articles be released from Customs custody prior to such compliance, the procedures outlined in 19 CFR 10.101 may be followed by cognizant NASA officials to secure the release of the articles from Customs custody. To the extent applicable, the procedures in § 1217.104 of this part shall be followed when time permits to obtain duty-free entry for the articles released from Customs custody. § 1217.105 Necessary and uniquely associated support equipment. The NASA certifying officer should consider the following criteria in determining whether an article is necessary and uniquely associated support equipment for use in connection with a launch into space. Applicability of one or more of the following nonexclusive criteria lends support to the conclusion that the article is necessary and uniquely associated support equipment. (a) The article has been designed and manufactured solely to support (1) the launch or return of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload; or (2) the operations or use in space of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload. (b) A standard article has been modified in a substantial and extraordinary way, considering its physical or functional characteristics, solely to support (1) the launch or return of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload; or (2) the operations or use in space of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload. (c) The article's potential use is solely to support (1) the launch or return of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload; or (2) the operations or use in space of a launch vehicle, spacecraft (including Space Station), or payload. (d) The article is available only from a source outside of the United States. (e) The article is a component of a system purchased outside of the United States. (f) The article is to be exported from the United States upon completion of its use as support equipment. scope of the NASA Unified Visual Communications System and prescribes the policy and guidelines for implementation of the system. § 1221.101 Policy. (a) The NASA Seal, the NASA Insignia, NASA Logotype, NASA Program Identifiers, the NASA Flags, and the Agency's Unified Visual Communications System, as prescribed in §1221.102 through §1221.108 of this subpart, shall be used exclusively to represent NASA, its programs, projects, functions, activities, or elements. The use of any devices other than those provided by or subsequently approved in accordance with the provisions of this subpart is prohibited. (b) The use of the devices prescribed in this section shall be governed by the provisions of this subpart. The use of the devices prescribed in this section for any purpose other than as authorized by this subpart is prohibited. Their misuse shall be subject to the penalties authorized by statute, as set forth in §1221.115 and shall be reported as provided in § 1221.116. (c) Any proposal for a new NASA Insignia, NASA Logotype, NASA Program Identifier, or for modification to those prescribed in this section shall be processed in accordance with §1221.114. § 1221.102 Establishment of the NASA Seal. The NASA Seal was established by Executive Order 10849 (24 FR 9559), November 27, 1959, as amended by Executive Order 10942 (24 FR 4419), May 22, 1961. The NASA Seal, established by the President, is the Seal of the Agency and symbolizes the achievements and goals of NASA and the United States in aeronautical and space activities. The NASA Seal shall be used as set forth in § 1221.109. The official seal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is a disc of blue sky strewn with white stars. To the left, there is a large yellow sphere bearing a red flight vector symbol. The wings of the vector symbol envelope and cast a brown shadow upon it. A white horizontal orbit also encircles the sphere. To the right, there is a small light blue sphere. A white band which circumscribes the disc is edged in gold and is inscribed with "National Aeronautics and Space Administration U.S.A." in red letters. 1221.103 Establishment of the NASA Insignia. The NASA Insignia was designed by the Army Institute of Heraldry and approved by the Commission of Fine Arts and the NASA Administrator. It symbolizes NASA's role in aeronautics and space and is established by the NASA Administrator as the signature an de sign element for visual communications formerly reserved for the NASA Logotype. The NASA Insignia shall be used as set forth in §1221.110, the NASA Graphics Standards Manual, NASA Insignia Standards Supplement, and any related NASA directive or specification approved by the NASA Administrator and published subsequent hereto. The official insignia of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is a dark blue disc with white stars. The white hand-cut letters "NASA" are in the center of the disc and are encircled by a white diagonal orbit. A solid red vector symbol also appears behind and in front of the letters. REPRODUCTION: The NASA Insignia may be reproduced black-on-white (single color) as shown above or two-color (blue and red on white). The colors are PMS 286 blue and PMS 185 red. The Insignia may be reproduced in various sizes but not less than five-eighths (5/8) of an inch. The sizes are determined on the basis of (a) desired effect for visual identification or publicity purposes, (b) relative size of the object on which the Insignia is to appear, and (c) consideration of any design, layout, reproduction, or other problems involved.
