Authority: H. Rept. 94-1297P.L. 94-355. Impoundment Control act
of 1974, sec. 1015(a).
A deferral of Department of the AIzy, Corps of
Engineers, 1udget authority is reported under Section 1015(a) of
the Impoundsent Control Act. This section requires the
comptroller General to report to the Congress whenever he finds
tuat a reserve has been established or a budget authority has
been deferred and the Presid-nt has failed to transmit a special
message to Congress w-th respect to such reserve or deferral.
Findings/Conclusions: i 1976, Congress appropriated almost $1.5
billion to the Corps of Engincers for river and harbor, flood
control, shore protection, and related projects. Of this amount,
$9.5 million was earmarked for construction activities at the
Neramec Park Lake in Hissouri. Corps of Engineers budget
documents disclosed $2,665,000 in budget authority that has not
been made available for obligation; these funds were intended
for use in construction activities for the Heranec Lake project.
This budgetary reserve was only recently establisLed, and it is
uncertain when a special message on the deferred funds will
reach Congress. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaabvf0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
