42 U.S.C. § 17096 — Authorization of appropriations

This section is one undivided provision, with no lettered subsections. Congress authorized $4,000,000 to be appropriated for each fiscal year from 2008 through 2012 — five years in total. This funding is meant to help carry out sections 434 through 439 and section 482 of the same law, which set out other energy-related requirements. The text does not say what those sections require; it only provides money to support them. Any amount appropriated under this authorization remains available until it is fully spent, meaning it does not expire or get returned to the Treasury at the end of each fiscal year the way many appropriations do.
