B-151087 1 (1982-02-17)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadbts0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE.UNITED STATES WASHINGTON O.C. 20,S 8-151087 February 1V, 1982 The Honorable Jim Sasser United States Senate Dear Senator Sasser: This is in response to your request for us to consider the availability for obligation of certain funds appropriated in fiscal years 197$ through 1981 from the Historic Preservation Fund for the historic preservation grant program. This matter was the subject of our decision B-151087, issued on September 15, 1981, the date of your request to our Office. A copy of that decision is enclosed. In our decision, which resulted from a request by the Department of the Interiot, we concluded that the funds appropriated for the historic preservation grant program for each of the 4 years in question would not be available for obligation beyond the 2-year period specified in each appropriation act. Accordingly, funds appropriated for the program in the 1978 and 1979 fiscal years would have lapsed and been unavailable for obligation if not obligated before the end of the 1979 and 1980 fiscal years, respectively. Having reconsidered our decision as you request, it remains our view, for the reasons set forth hereafter, that the funds appropriated from the Historic Preservation Fund for each of the fiscal years from 1978 through 1981 are only available for obligation for a 2-year period including the fiscal year for which appropriated and the subsequent year. As explained by the Department of the Interior in its original request to us for a decision, the question arose because of an apparent Conflict between portions of the authorizing legislation for the historic preservation grant program and the. annual appropri- ation legislation for the program. The provision in the authorizing legislation, contained in section 103(b) of the National Historic Preservation Act, Pub. L. No. 89-665, 80 Stat. 915, 916 approved October 15, 1966, as most recently amended by subsection 203(a) of Pub. L. No. 96-515, 90 Stat. 2987, 2993, 16 U.S.C. S 470c(b), pro- vides as follows: * * Any amount of any portion that has not been paid or obligated by the Secretary during the fiscal year in which such notification [of each State's apportionmentj is given and for two fiscal years thereafter, shall be reapportioned by the Secretary in accordance with this subsection.
