§1392 Administrative expenses; posting names and compensation of local employees

Summary

The Secretary may spend what is needed to run the programs covered here and the listed parts of Title 16. That includes pay for staff, rents in Washington and elsewhere, travel, supplies and equipment, law and reference books, newspapers and magazines, and making and showing displays at local and wider fairs. The Secretary of the Treasury must, if asked, set up special accounts and move money from the appropriate funds when personnel or facilities of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration are used, in amounts the Secretary thinks are fair. When running this subchapter and sections 590g, 590h, 590i, and 590j–590q of Title 16, total administrative spending in Washington and the States (not county or local committees) each fiscal year starting with the year ending June 30, 1942, must not exceed 3% of the total money available for those programs, unless another law or appropriation says otherwise. For administration of section 612c and sections 601, 602, 608a–608d, 610, 612, 614, 624, and 671–673 of this title, the same rule applies but the limit is 4% starting with the year ending June 30, 1942. If any county or local committee’s administrative costs are taken out of chapter 3B of Title 16 payments, parity payments, or loans (starting with the year ending June 30, 1939), each farmer who gets benefits must be told the dollar amount or percentage taken for those costs. The names, addresses, and how much each member or employee of any county or local committee is paid must be posted once a year where people in the area can see them.
