This section lets the Secretary run central supply warehouses. Appropriations for System units can buy supplies to stock in these warehouses. Leftover supplies stay available in future years, and warehouses cannot stockpile beyond reasonable need.
(a) Authority of Secretary*.— While running the System*, the Secretary can operate central warehouses at System units.
(b) Appropriations.— (1) Money appropriated to run, protect, maintain, and improve System units can be used to buy supplies and materials kept in central warehouses. Those supplies get distributed at cost — including shipping and handling — to projects under their own specific appropriations. (2) (A) Money can be moved between different System unit* appropriations to charge them for supplies drawn from the central warehouses. (B) Supplies left over at the end of a fiscal year stay available for use in later years. They get paid for by moving funds between the current year's System unit appropriations, without reducing that year's appropriations.
(c) Limitation on Purchase of Supplies and Materials.— Supplies and materials cannot be bought just to build up warehouse stock beyond what is reasonably needed for the current fiscal year.
The Secretary, in the administration of the System*, may maintain central warehouses at System units.
Appropriations made for the administration, protection, maintenance, and improvement of System units shall be available for the purchase of supplies and materials to be kept in central warehouses for distribution at cost, including transportation and handling, to projects under specific appropriations.
Transfers between the various appropriations made for System units are authorized for the purpose of charging the cost of supplies and materials, including transportation and handling, drawn from central warehouses maintained under this authority to the particular appropriation benefited.
Supplies and materials that remain at the end of any fiscal year shall be continuously available for issuance during subsequent fiscal years and shall be charged for by transfers of funds between appropriations made for the administration, protection, maintenance, and improvement of System units for the fiscal year then current without decreasing the appropriations made for that fiscal year.
Supplies and materials shall not be purchased solely for the purpose of increasing the value of storehouse stock beyond reasonable requirements for any current fiscal year.
