DECISION A Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), certifying officer requests our opinion regarding the proper appropriation to charge for expenses relating to an Office of Personnel Management, Federal Executive Institute (Institute) training course. For the following reasons, we conclude FNS may properly charge the cost of the course to fiscal year 1989. BACKGROUND At the beginning of fiscal year 1989, the Food and Nutrition Service identified executive and management development as an agency need for the year. In June, the Institute announced that its 4-week Leadership for Democratic Society course was scheduled to begin on October 1, 1989, the first day of fiscal year 1990. The Acting Administrator at FNS determined that the course would meet the agency's fiscal year 1989 executive and management development needs. Therefore, in August 1989 FNS reserved a space in the course. The Institute advised FNS that it would bill the agency in advance of the course and that there was a no cancellation and no refund policy. FNS advertised the training opportunity throughout the agency and accepted nominations through early September 1989. On September 19, 1989, FNS sent the Institute a copy of the selected employee's SF-182, Request, Authorization, Agreement PUBLISHED DECSION 70 Comp. Gen. A
