The Secretary of the Interior can move unused pay money to pay other employees at the same agency. This move can't create a budget deficiency. Employees can also be reassigned to other duties when not needed for their original job.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior move money around at an Indian agency, and reassign staff, when it is not currently needed for its original purpose. If Congress appropriated money to pay specific employees at an Indian agency, and that money is not currently needed for that purpose, the Secretary of the Interior can use it instead to pay other employees at the same agency. But this cannot be used to create a deficiency — the Secretary cannot spend more than what is available. The section also lets the Secretary detail, meaning temporarily reassign, specific employees to other service, when necessary, if they are not currently needed for the duty they were originally hired for.

When not required for the purpose for which appropriated, the funds provided for the pay of specified employees at any Indian agency may be used by the Secretary of the Interior for the pay of other employees at such agency, but no deficiency shall be thereby created; and, when necessary, specified employees may be detailed for other service when not required for the duty for which they were engaged.
