Whitten Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This responds to your request for our opinion concerning the period of availability of an appropriation provided to the National Commission on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Commission). You asked whether appropriated funds provided to the Commission in the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appro iations Act, 1991, Pub. L. No. 101-517, 104 Stat. 2190Y are available for obligation until expended or whether they expired at the end of the fiscal year. As the following discussion shows, the funds were only available for obligation until the end of fiscal year 1991. In the fiscal year 1991 Labor/HHS Appropriations Act, Congress provided $3,000,000 to the Commission for expenses necessary for the National Commission on'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome as authorized by subtitle D of title 1I of Public Law 100-607 . (Emphasis added.) 104 Stat. 2190, 2217. Subtitle D of title II of.Public Law 100-607 is the ommission's authorizing statute, the National Commission on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Act. Section 248 of that Act provides: There is authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 1,9.89,.$2,000,000 and such sums as may be necessary in any subsequent fiscal year, to carry out the.purposes of this Act. Amounts appropriated pursuant to such authorization shall remain available until expended. (Emphasis added.) 102 Stat. 3108 (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 300cc noteY We understand that the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Treasury, and the General Services Administration have taken the position that the Commission's appropriation is available until expended since the appropriation language refers to the Commission's authorizing statute that includes the no-year language.
