2. APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE.
The Department of Defense Military Construction Act provides language
for MCNR as follows:
"For construction, acquisition, expansion, rehabilitation, and
conversion of facilities for the training and administration of the
reserve components of the Navy and Marine Corps as authorized by
Chapter 1803 of Title 10, United States Code, and Military
Construction Authorization Acts, $_____, to remain available until
September 30, 20___."
3. LIMITATIONS.
a. Authorizing Legislation.
As specified in 10 U.S. Code 114, authorizing legislation is required
for the Navy and Marine Corps military construction program.
Accordingly, the annual appropriations request is presented on a
program year basis for projects which may reasonably be expected to
start during the budget year and for which authorization is requested
concurrently.
b. Time Limitations.
The MCNR appropriation is a multiple-year appropriation to remain
available for obligation for 5 fiscal years. Each fiscal year
appropriation enacted is considered separate and discrete.
Construction projects may be split-funded among different fiscal years'
appropriations, provided that the funds used are available for military
construction projects and the total obligations for a project are
consistent with the total amount appropriated for that project.
