074143 ADMINISTRATION
1. APPORTIONMENT.
Based on guidance provided by the Comptroller, the Fiscal Director of the
Marine Corps prepares an apportionment request.
2. EXECUTION.
Upon receipt of authority, funds are allocated to the Marine Corps by the
Comptroller. The allocation is based on the requested distribution
prepared by the Fiscal Director of the Marine Corps in the schedule of
Program/Fund Allocations (NAVCOMPT Form 2058). The appropriation
is controlled by quarters and by activities. Changes in quarterly or activity
totals can be made only if a request is submitted within specific time
limitations and if the amounts are within available funds. The Fiscal
Director of the Marine Corps issues an allocation of the apportioned
amounts, by activity, to appropriate project sponsors. The Fiscal Director
retains responsibility for (and administers as an open allotment) the
allocations for all budget activities. Accordingly, the Fiscal Director
approves budget activity allocation schedules for PCS travel and passes
the responsibility, by name, by inclusion of the following statement in the
schedule: "this document constitutes a transfer of legal responsibility for
funds under 31 U.S.C. 1517." The Fiscal Director retains responsibility
for Pay and Allowances for Subsistence and Other Military Personnel
Costs even though the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower has been
designated appropriation sponsor.
