§579c–1 Forest Service Interest Bearing Account

Summary

Treasury must put money sent to the Treasury under the related law—including money from forfeitures, judgments, compromises, or settlements—into interest‑paying U.S. government securities unless the Treasury Secretary needs the cash for current withdrawals. The interest earned can be used the same way as the original money to pay the costs the law lists. Any leftover money after paying those costs can be used for other work the law allows. This starts in fiscal year 2023 and continues each year after.
