Frank Wolf Space Security Act

The Frank Wolf Space Security Act aims to significantly restrict the use of federal funds by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the National Space Council (NSpC). Specifically, it prohibits these agencies from obligating or expending funds to develop, design, or implement any bilateral policy, program, or contract with the People's Republic of China or any Chinese-owned company. Furthermore, the bill prevents the hosting of official Chinese visitors at federal facilities utilized by NASA. However, exceptions to these restrictions are permitted if NASA, OSTP, or NSpC, following consultation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, issue a certification. This certification must affirm that the activity poses no risk of transferring technology, data, or information with national or economic security implications to China. It must also ensure that the activity will not involve knowing interactions with officials determined to have direct involvement with human rights violations , with all certifications requiring submission to relevant congressional committees and the FBI 30 days prior to the activity.
