THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OP THE UNITEK STATES
WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548



      DATE: March 30, 1984


MATTER OF: Internal Revenue Service--Limitation Under
              Fiscal Year 1983 Continuing Resolution
DIGEST: 1. The prohibition on using appropriated funds to
             impose or collect the excise tax on custom-made
             firearms, contained in section 105 of S. 2916
             (97th Cong.), was not incorporated into the
             fiscal year 1983 continuing resolution and was
             therefore not applicable during that year.
             Section 101(a)(5) of the resolution provides
             that a condition or limitation, applicable by
             its terms to more than one appropriation
             account, that does not appear in both the House
             and Senate versions of an unenacted appropria-
             tion bill, is not incorporated into a continu-
             ing resolution unless it also appeared in the
             applicable appropriation act for the previous
             fiscal year. While the prohibition was
             contained in the 1982 supplemental appropria-
             tion act, we do not consider it the applic-
             able act for purposes of this section.

         2. The limitation imposed on all Presidential
             appointees throughout the Government on using
             appropriated funds to renovate offices,
             contained in section 619 of S. 2916 (97th
             Cong.), was not incorporated into the fiscal
             year 1983 continuing resolution and was there-
             fore not binding on the Internal Revenue
             Service. While there was a flat prohibition on
             renovating two specified IRS offices contained
             in the 1982 supplemental appropriations act
             which made it applicable as well to the 1982
             final continuing resolution, the terms of the
             1982 provision are very different from the
             terms of the 1983 provision in the Senate
             bill. Therefore, we cannot say that the same
             restriction appeared in an applicable
             appropriation act for 1982.

         3. Under the fiscal year 1983 continuing
             resolution, not more than $40,400,000 of the
             funds appropriated for Taxpayer Service and
             Returns Processing were made available until
             expended for systems modernization initiatives.
             This corresponds to the amount of no-year
             authority made available in the House
