§4008 Establishment of Fisheries Promotional Fund

Summary

A Fisheries Promotional Fund is created in the U.S. Treasury to pay for the National Council’s yearly marketing and promotion plan and budget. The Fund can be used only if Congress provides the money in appropriation laws. Money put into the Fund comes from transfers under other law, voluntary payments under the related program, and earnings from investments. Money not needed right away will be kept in interest-bearing Treasury accounts or invested in U.S.-guaranteed obligations, and any earnings go back into the Fund. Congress may appropriate each year the amounts deposited into the Fund for fiscal years 1987 through 1991.
