When Congress specifically allows it, the National Weather Service can run its own printing office in Washington. It can't print things the Government Publishing Office could handle without slowing the Service down.

When an appropriations law specifically says so, the National Weather Service can keep a printing office in Washington, D.C., to print weather maps, bulletins, circulars, forms, and other publications. But the Service cannot print anything the Government Publishing Office could print instead, if doing its own printing would hurt the Service's work.

When so specified in appropriation Acts, the National Weather Service is authorized to maintain a printing office in the city of Washington for the printing of weather maps, bulletins, circulars, forms, and other publications: Provided, That no printing shall be done by the National Weather Service which could be done at the Government Publishing Office without impairing the service of said Service.
