(b) Additional Data Policy Considerations.—In addition, the data policy for Landsat 7 may provide for— (1) United States private sector entities to operate ground receiving stations in the United States for Landsat 7 data; (2) other means for direct access by private sector entities to unenhanced data from Landsat 7; and (3) the United States Government to charge a per image fee, license fee, or other such fee to entities operating ground receiving stations or distributing Landsat 7 data.
