§12681 Authorization of Appropriations
Title 42 › CHAPTER 129 — NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE › SUBCHAPTER IV — AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS › § 12681
Summary
Authorizes money to pay for national service programs from fiscal year 2010 through 2014. For one group of programs, it provides $97,000,000 for fiscal year 2010 and whatever money is needed for 2011–2014. The agency can hold back money for a special Part IV. From the rest, up to $7,000,000 a year may go to Campuses of Service, up to $10,000,000 a year for summer service grants and another up to $10,000,000 for summer educational awards, and up to $20,000,000 a year for youth engagement zone programs. After those amounts are set aside each year, the remaining money is divided so no more than 60% goes to part I programs, no more than 25% to part II, and at least 15% to part III. Other divisions get “as much as needed” for 2010–2014 to run programs and pay education awards for the required number of participants. The National Civilian Community Corps gets whatever is needed, but priority must go to programs serving areas where the President declared a major disaster, including Hurricane Katrina or Rita areas. One program gets $12,000,000 each year. Two other programs each get $50,000,000 in 2010, $60,000,000 in 2011, $70,000,000 in 2012, $80,000,000 in 2013, and $100,000,000 in 2014. Administration costs get whatever is needed each year, with part set aside for a specific assistance item. Up to 2.5% of certain program funds must be reserved each year for evaluation, training, and technical help, and $1,000,000 of that must be used for a particular activity. Normally funds remain available until spent, but amounts reserved for evaluation and training may be used only in the year they are set aside.
