DECISION
FILE: B-204270
MATTER OF:
DIGEST:
CTHE COMPTROLLER ENERAL
I. . OF THE UNITED STATES
WAS H IN1G TO N 0. C. 20548
UIT,O
DATE: October 13, 1981
Federal Bureau of Investigation's Standard
Level User Charge Payments, FY 1981.
1. Provision in 1981 supplemental appropriation
for salaries and expenses to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which states
that: * * * no part of any appropriation
contained in this Act (Pub. L. No. 97-12]
nor any part of the appropriation contained
in Public Law 96-536 for the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, 'Salaries and Expenses'
in excess of $35,218,000 shall be available
for paying to the Administrator of the General
Services Administration [GSA] the standard
level user charge (SLUC] established pursuant
to section 210(j) of the Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended,
for space and services, constitutes a limita-
tion on the amount the FBI may reimburse to
GSA for SLUC since no other funds are avail-
able to the FBI for payment of SLUC for 1981
other than those provided by the salaries
and expenses appropriation under Pub. L.
Nos. 97-12 and 96-536. B-186818, September 22,
1976 and B-177610, September 3, 1976.
2. Action by the Congress in imposing ceiling on
SLUC reimbursements by FBI late in the 1981
fiscal year will be construed, in the absence
of anything in the language of the limitation
or its legislative history to the contrary,
to be merely a limitation on the amount paid
into the Federal Buildings Fund for the same
level of SLUC operations and not an effort to
force the FBI to cut back its requirements since
with only one quarter of fiscal year remaining
it would be difficult to effect economies without
serious disruption of agency operations. Further-
more, if the Congress intended to reduce the
over-all level of operations of the FBI, more
direct means could have been employed.
