             DECISIO                THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
       DECISION (              --   OF THE UNITED STATES
                                    WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548




       FILE: B-207281                      DATE: October 19, 1982

       MATTER OF:      Youth Conservation Corps: Appropriations
                       chargeable for fiscal year 1982 obligations
                       incurred under continuing resolutions
       DIGEST:

       1. Interior's fiscal year 1982 appropriation act contained
           no specific funds for the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC)
           program, but only set aside funds for projects of three
           land management agencies to be carried out by the YCC.
           Consequently, obligations incurred for the YCC under
           earlier continuing resolutions should be charged to
           the account created under those resolutions and not
           to accounts under the permanent appropriations act.

       2. Provision of 16 U.S.C. § 1704 for 30 percent set-aside
           of YCC funds for grants to States does not apply to funds
           provided under Interior's fiscal year 1982 appropriation
           act (Public Law 97-100) for high priority projects of
           three Federal land management agencies, to be carried
           out by the YCC.


     The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Policy, Budget,
and Administration, has requested our opinion as to the proper manner in
which to charge certain obligations incurred by the Departnent of the
Interior and the Department of Agriculture for activities of the Youth
Conservation Corps during fiscal year 1982. These obligations were in-
curred under authority of several continuing resolutions for fiscal year
1982. For the reasons discussed below, it is our opinion that the obli-
gations in question should be charged to the appropriation accounts au-
thorized by those resolutions, and not to accounts created under the
regular fiscal year 1982 appropriations acts.

     The obligations in question were apparently incurred after enactment
of continuing appropriation resolutions for fiscal year 1982, but before
enactment of permanent appropriations for Interior and Agriculture.
According to Interior, the obligations were primarily for close-out of
fiscal year 1981 program operations and for maintenance of a small pro-
gram planning staff.
