§5852 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

Money set aside for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s pay and expenses may also be used for extra things like hiring foreign workers; paying for temporary experts under section 3109 of title 5; publishing and sharing atomic information; buying, fixing, and cleaning uniforms; reimbursing the General Services Administration for security guards; renting cars and aircraft; sending money to other federal agencies to do NRC work (and merging those funds with the other agencies’ budgets); and sending up to an extra 5 percent to the NRC Office of Inspector General if the Appropriations Committees are told. Money for the Office of Inspector General can also be used for temporary expert services under section 3109 and for transfers to other agencies. Payments the NRC gets for cooperative nuclear research, services to State, foreign, or international governments, and material and access programs (including criminal checks under section 2169) may be kept and used for related salaries and expenses despite section 3302 of title 31, and stay available until spent. The NRC Chairman may use funds in this Act to offer voluntary separations under section 663 of Public Law 104–208 for employees who leave from October 7, 1998, through December 31, 2000; all rules in section 663 apply except section 663(c)(2)(D). The rules above for funds apply to fiscal year 1999 and every year after.
