PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

The Park Service may put money it collects for meals and housing from federal field employees and cooperating agencies back into the operating account for the unit where the housing or meals were provided. Appropriations can also pay for the costs of preparing and recording title paperwork when land is donated to the United States for Park Service management. With the Secretary’s approval, up to $500,000 per incident can be used for emergency law enforcement or search-and-rescue. If that money is spent, the Secretary must promptly ask Congress for a supplemental appropriation to replace it. The law also provides money to reimburse the District of Columbia each month for certain annuity payments to United States Park Police retirees when those payments exceed what active members contribute, and Service funds may not be used for those reimbursements. Funds available for equipment may be used to buy waterproof footwear and list it as System equipment.
