The U.S. Commissioner can provide technical tests, surveys, and similar services to state or local governments that request them, but only if the government pays the Commission back. Payment must come before the work is done, based on estimated or actual cost, with adjustments made afterward to match the real cost; the money then goes back into whatever budget paid for the service.

(a) Authority — The Commissioner of the U.S. section of the Boundary Commission may provide technical tests, evaluations, information, surveys, or similar services to a state or local government that requests them, but the government receiving the service must pay the Commission back for it. (b) Reimbursements — The requesting government must pay in advance of getting the goods or services, based on the Commission's estimated or actual cost. The Commission then adjusts the amount as needed once it knows the actual cost. Any reimbursement money the Commission receives for these services goes back into whatever appropriation covered the cost of providing them.
