PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

Agencies may use money they already get for their operations to pay administrative costs for work under this chapter. When agencies bill for administrative services, those charges must cover the agency’s administrative costs and any official reception and representation expenses they incur, but only if three things are true: the work mainly benefits a foreign country; the costs are not already charged to and reimbursed from sales of defense services; and the costs are not military pay or unpaid estimated civilian retirement or benefit costs. No more than $86,500 each fiscal year from those administrative-service charges can be spent on official reception and representation expenses.
