§104901 Central Warehouses at System Units

Title 54 › Subtitle Subtitle I— National Park System › Chapter 1049— MISCELLANEOUS › § 104901

Last updated Apr 5, 2026|Official source

Summary

The Secretary may keep central warehouses at System units. Money set aside for running, protecting, maintaining, and improving those units can buy supplies and materials to stock the warehouses. Items may be given out to projects at cost, including transport and handling. Agencies can move funds between those budgets so the project that uses the supplies pays for them. Leftover stock at year end can be used later and its cost can be moved between current-year budgets without lowering those budgets. Supplies must not be bought just to inflate stock beyond reasonable needs for the year.
