FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

applies to both direct funded and Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF)
activities.
4. NONAPPROPRIATED FUND (NAF) ACTIVITIES.
All NAF activities undergoing base closure actions are authorized base
closure funding and may compete with all other DON programs for
funding from the BRAC account. Included are costs affecting
nonappropriated funded personnel, such as civilian severance pay, civilian
permanent change of station, outplacement assistance, and transportation
of things, which are the direct result of base closure decisions. This does
not preclude NAF funds from augmenting base closure funds for any costs
resulting from base closure actions. NAF BRAC requirements may also
be augmented with appropriated funds of the management command, as
identified in subparagraph 3, for closure costs that are comparable to those
of direct-funded activities.
5. ADVANCE PLANNING.
Prior to the completion of the statutory Base Closure Commission process,
no action can be taken to carry out a proposed base closure effort.
However, advance planning that is within the current scope and
responsibilities of normal continuing government business for bases that
are included in the list provided to the Congress by the President may be
funded by the regular appropriation that normally finances the effort. The
associated costs should not be reported as BRAC costs. In other words, no
BRAC funds may be used to fund any closure or realignment efforts prior
to Congressional approval of the recommendations.

074564 BUDGET ACTIVITY SUBHEADS
The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) appropriations are appropriated
to the Department of Defense (DoD) who subsequently allocates these funds
to the Department of the Navy (DON). The DON uses different subheads
than those used by DoD in order to better track obligations and expenditures.
The first subdivision under the appropriation is the subhead. The BRAC
appropriations four-digit subhead numbering system identifies the following
data elements:
For STARS users:
First digit - Major Claimant Identifier (MCI)
Second digit - Navy Program Code (NPC)
Last two digits - for claimant use
