TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Sec. 2684. Capital fund for Department of State to centralize
reproduction, editorial, data processing, audiovisual and other
services; maximum amount; operation of fund
(a) Establishment of fund
There is hereby established a working capital fund for the
Department of State, which shall be available without fiscal year
limitation, for expenses (including those authorized by the Foreign
Service Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.]) and equipment, necessary
for maintenance and operation in the city of Washington and elsewhere of
(1) central reproduction, editorial, data processing, audiovisual,
library and administrative support services; (2) central services for
supplies and equipment (including repairs); (3) such other
administrative services as the Secretary, with the approval of the
Office of Management and Budget, determines may be performed more
advantageously and more economically as central services; and (4)
medical and health care services. Such fund shall also be available
without fiscal year limitation to carry out the purposes of title II of
this Act [22 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.] \1\ The capital of the fund shall
consist of the amount of the fair and reasonable value of such supply
inventories, equipment, and other assets and inventories on order,
pertaining to the services to be carried on by the fund, as the
Secretary may transfer to the fund, less the related liabilities and
unpaid obligations, together with any appropriations made for the
purpose of providing capital. The fund shall be reimbursed, or credited
with advance payments, from applicable appropriations and funds of the
Department of State, other Federal agencies, and other sources
authorized by law, for supplies and services at rates which will
approximate the expense of operations, including accrual of annual leave
and depreciation of plant and equipment of the fund. The fund shall also
be credited with other receipts from sale or exchange of property or in
payment for loss or damage to property held by the fund. There shall be
transferred into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, as of the close
of each fiscal year, earnings which the Secretary determines to be
excess to the needs of the fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ So in original. Probably should be followed by a period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Charges to fund; credit to appropriations
The current value of supplies returned to the working capital fund
by a post, activity, or agency may be charged to the fund. The proceeds
thereof shall, if otherwise authorized, be credited to current
applicable appropriations and shall remain available for expenditures
for the same purposes for which those appropriations are available.
Credits may not be made to appropriations under this subsection as the
result of capitalization of inventories.
