[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 32, Volume 1] [Revised as of July 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 32CFR22.515] [Page 73-74] TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PART 22--DoD GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS--AWARD AND ADMINISTRATION--Table of Contents Subpart E--National Policy Matters Sec. 22.515 Provisions of annual appropriations acts. An annual appropriations act can include general provisions stating national policy requirements that apply to the use of funds (e.g., obligation [[Page 74]] through a grant or cooperative agreement) appropriated by the act. Because these requirements are of limited duration (the period during which a given year's appropriations are available for obligation), and because they can vary from year to year and from one agency's appropriations act to another agency's, the grants officer must know the agency(ies) and fiscal year(s) of the appropriations being obligated by a given grant or cooperative agreement, and may need to consult legal counsel if he or she does not know the requirements applicable to those appropriations.
