The Administrator may not offer a space flight product or service related to the ISS to a foreign person or foreign government, except a signatory government to the Intergovernmental Agreement Concerning Cooperation on the Civil International Space Station, signed at Washington January 29, 1998 (TIAS 12927), if the space flight product or service, as applicable, would compete with a commercial space flight product or service offered by the private sector of the United States.
