The Secretary of Commerce can build and improve the Institute's buildings and facilities. This only works within the money Congress appropriates. The Director can keep certain building-use fees to pay for repairs.
(a) In general: Within whatever money Congress appropriates for the Institute, the Secretary of Commerce can build new buildings and other facilities. The Secretary can also improve existing buildings, grounds, and facilities that the Institute uses, as long as this is necessary for the Institute's work.
(b) Retention of fees: The Director can keep all "building use" and "depreciation surcharge" fees the Institute collects under OMB Circular A–25. These fees must go into the Construction of Research Facilities Appropriation Account, and can only be used to maintain and repair the Institute's existing facilities.
Within the limits of funds which are appropriated for the Institute, the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to undertake such construction of buildings and other facilities and to make such improvements to existing buildings, grounds, and other facilities occupied or used by the Institute as are necessary for the proper and efficient conduct of the activities authorized herein.
The Director is authorized to retain all building use and depreciation surcharge fees collected pursuant to OMB Circular A–25. Such fees shall be collected and credited to the Construction of Research Facilities Appropriation Account for use in maintenance and repair of the Institute’s existing facilities.
