10 U.S.C. § 8732 — Authorizations of appropriations
submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 144 words · no verdicts yet
Money for exploring, developing, and producing the naval petroleum reserves needs specific appropriation authorization by law. Funds stay available until spent. Related contracts can run five years, renewable for five more, but only funds actually appropriated can be obligated.
(a) Congress cannot appropriate money for these purposes unless a law specifically authorizes it first: (1) exploring, prospecting, conserving, developing, using, operating, and producing the naval petroleum reserves* as this chapter allows; (2) production (including getting ready for production) as this chapter allows, or as later authorized after April 5, 1976; and (3) building and running facilities, inside or outside the reserves, needed to produce and deliver petroleum*, including pipelines and shipping terminals. Money appropriated for these purposes stays available until it is spent.
(b) Contracts under this chapter that commit funds can run for five years, and can be renewed for another five years. But such a contract can only commit funds that appropriation laws have actually made available.
Funds for the following purposes may not be appropriated unless such appropriations have been specifically authorized by law:
Exploration, prospecting, conservation, development, use, operations, and production of the naval petroleum reserves* as authorized by this chapter.
Production (including preparation for production) as authorized by this chapter or as may be authorized after April 5, 1976.
The construction and operation of facilities both within and outside the naval petroleum* reserves incident to the production and the delivery of petroleum, including pipelines and shipping terminals.
Sums appropriated for such purposes shall remain available until expended.
Contracts under this chapter providing for the obligation of funds may be entered into for a period of five years, renewable for an additional five-year period; however, such contracts may obligate funds only to the extent that such funds are made available in appropriation Acts.
