§20140 Appropriations

Summary

Allows whatever money is needed to carry out the chapter, but it cannot pay to buy or take real property or to pay for any capital item (like buying or building facilities) that costs more than $250,000. Money for building facilities or for research and development stays available until it is spent. Funds meant for construction can be used to make emergency repairs to existing facilities if a major breakdown or accident leaves them inoperative and the Administrator says the repairs are more urgent than new construction. The authority to get money ends at the close of the third fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the authorization was enacted, unless an earlier end date is set, for amounts not already actually appropriated.
