handle is hein.gao/gaobadncn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 11,0 The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 NDecision Use of Appropriated Funds by Air Force to Provide Support for Child Care Centers for Children of Matter of- Civilian Employees. File: B-222989 Date: June 9, 1988 DIGESTS 1. The Secretary of the Air Force may, under section 139 of Pub. L. No. 99-190, 99 Stat. 1185, 1323 (1985), codified at 40 U.S.C. § 490b (Supp. III 1985), provide support r child care centers for the children of civilian employees by authorizing the allotment of space under his control in government buildings, as well as the services delineated in paragraph 139(b)(3), and may do so without charge. The support provided may include the cost of making the space suitable for child care facilities, including the cost of renovation, modification or expansion of existing government-owned or leased space. 2. The authority of the Secretary of the Air Force to allocate space for child care centers under section 139 of Pub. L. No. 99-190, 99 Stat. 1185, 1324 (1985), is limited to the allotment of existing space in government-owned or leased buildings. Section 139 does not grant independent authority to enter new leases for child care facilities, and we are aware of no legislation that specifically authorizes the Air Force to do so for civilian child care centers. 3. The authority of the Secretary of the Air Force to allot space and to make it suitable for child care facilities under section 139 of Pub. L. No. 99-190, 99 Stat. 1185, 1324 (1985), is applicable to existing space in federal buildings. This authority extends to the expansion of existing space in military child care centers in government buildings to accommodate the children of civilian employees. 4. Reimbursement of costs associated with the provision of space allotted under section 139 of Pub. L. No. 99-190, 99 Stat. 1185, 1324 (1985), is authorized by paragraph 139(b)(2) to be made to the miscellaneous receipts or any other appropriate account of the Treasury. Section 139 does not expressly authorize funds received as reimbursement to be credited to agency appropriations. Payments received by the Air Force for its capital improvement expenditures in providing space for civilian child care centers must, therefore, be deposited in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts or result in an improper augmentation of Air Force appropriations.
