Title: Authority and Delegations To Take Certain Actions Relating to Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights 
Abstract: NASA is amending 14 CFR by removing subpart 5 (sec 1245.500 to sec 1245.504) "Authority and Delegations to Take Certain Actions Relating to Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights." The NASA General Counsel establishes Agencywide legal policies and procedures in conjunction and coordination with the various Center Chief Counsels and determines best methods and practices for providing legal advice, assistance, and functional guidance inherent in rendering legal services. NASA Policy Directive NPD 2000.1F "Authority to Take Certain Actions for The General Counsel" serves as the delegation from, and governs such delegated authority by the General Counsel to the various designated Agency counsel to carry out such duties and responsibilities. NPD 2000.1 provides greater implementation details of the delegation as compared to 14 CFR subpart 5. Accordingly, it is deemed that 14 CFR subpart 5 is superfluous and can be eliminated.
