§4955 Funding
Title 10 › Subtitle Subtitle A— - General Military Law › Part PART V— - ACQUISITION › Subpart Subpart I— - Defense Industrial Base › Chapter CHAPTER 388— - PROCUREMENT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PROGRAM › § 4955
Summary
Sets yearly funding caps for the Secretary to give eligible groups for procurement technical assistance. If a program serves an entire state, the cap is $1,500,000. If it serves less than a whole state, the cap is $750,000. If it is run only inside one Bureau of Indian Affairs service area by an entity named in section 4951(1)(D), the cap is $450,000. If it runs in more than one such service area, the cap is $1,500,000. Money given under section 4959(b) is not limited by these caps. The Secretary of Defense makes the rules to decide which category a program fits. If an eligible group earns program income in a fiscal year, it may spend up to 25% of the cost of providing assistance in that year from that income during the next fiscal year. A group that does not sign a cooperative agreement for a year must tell the Secretary how much income it carried over and may keep an amount equal to 10% of the value of the Secretary’s assistance from the previous year. The Secretary must count carried-over income when calculating the value of assistance and may accept funds from other federal agencies to run the program.
