Summary

Money from the related appropriation can be moved to any federal department, agency, or independent office so they can use it to carry out the appropriation’s purpose. Those agencies may spend the funds under their normal spending rules and without following some usual federal restrictions. If the Organization asks, a department or agency can provide or buy and provide supplies and services. They can take advance payments or be paid back later. When repaid, the money can go back to the account that paid the bill or to another appropriate current account, as the agency chooses.
