Since fiscal year 1984, money the U.S. Geological Survey earns from selling maps stays with the agency. It goes toward printing and distributing maps. This money doesn't expire — the Survey can keep using it until it's spent.

Starting in fiscal year 1984 and every year after, the U.S. Geological Survey doesn't have to turn over the money it makes from selling maps. All the money the Survey earns from maps it sells or has in storage goes toward printing and distributing more maps. This is extra money on top of whatever other funding the Survey already has for that purpose. The money doesn't disappear at the end of the year — the Survey can keep it and spend it whenever it's needed.
