Summary

Beginning in fiscal year 1991, the FBI Director may set and collect fees to process fingerprint checks and name checks for non-criminal-justice or non-law-enforcement jobs and licenses, and for certain private-sector workers on classified government contracts. Despite section 3302 of title 31, those fees can be credited to the FBI’s appropriation to pay salaries and other costs of providing the service. The Director may add extra to the fee to create a fund, which stays available until spent, to pay for computerizing fingerprint ID and criminal justice information services and related costs.
