Title 5 › Part PART III— - EMPLOYEES › Subpart Subpart C— - Employee Performance › Chapter CHAPTER 41— - TRAINING › § 4104
Summary
Agencies must, as much as possible, provide employee training in government buildings they control. They must also make agreements with other federal agencies, when needed, so they can use those agencies’ facilities or let their staff join other agencies’ training programs, and if the other agency asks, the agreements should be set up so the other agency is paid back for its costs.

Historical and Revision Notes
DerivationU.S. CodeRevised Statutes andStatutes at Large 5 U.S.C. 2307.July 7, 1958, Pub. L. 85–507, § 8, 72 Stat. 331. In paragraph (2), the words “other agencies in any branch of the Government” and “the other agencies” are coextensive with and substituted for “other departments, and with other agencies in any branch of the Government” and “such other departments and agencies”. This is so because “other agencies in any branch of the Government” is broader than “agency” as defined for the purpose of this chapter in section 4101(1). Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
