Summary

The Corporation can use another federal agency’s people, services, buildings, and information if that agency agrees, and the Corporation must pay for them. If a federal agency holds data that relates to the Corporation’s work, that agency must, when the Administrator asks, make the data available to the Corporation without charge. The Corporation must pay into the civil-service retirement and disability fund based on annual bills set by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. It must also pay into the employees’ compensation fund based on annual bills set by the Secretary of Labor. Those bills include the Corporation’s share of running the funds, and the money is deposited into the U.S. Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
