Title 49 › SUBTITLE VII — AVIATION PROGRAMS › PART A — AIR COMMERCE AND SAFETY › subpart iii — safety › CHAPTER 443 — INSURANCE › § 44307
A revolving fund is kept in the U.S. Treasury. The Treasury must pay from that fund to run this chapter. Needed money can be added to the fund, and any money received while using the fund must be put back into it. At the Transportation Secretary’s request, the Treasury may invest fund money in U.S. government interest-bearing securities. Interest and sale proceeds must go back into the fund. Any money above what the Transportation Secretary says is needed for operations and reasonable reserves must be sent to the Treasury at least annually as miscellaneous receipts. Each year the Transportation Secretary must also deposit a payment to cover government costs of using appropriated amounts. That payment equals the fund’s average monthly appropriated balance times a percentage set in advance by the Treasury, which must be at least the government’s current average rate on marketable obligations.
