TITLE 14--COAST GUARD
PART I--REGULAR COAST GUARD
CHAPTER 13--PAY, ALLOWANCES, AWARDS, AND OTHER RIGHTS AND BENEFITS
Sec. 476. Contingent expenses
The Commandant may expend for contingencies of the Coast Guard a sum
not to exceed $7,500 in any one fiscal year. The Commandant may
authorize the Superintendent of the Academy to expend not to exceed
$2,500 of this amount for contingencies of the Academy.
(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 532.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15k (Apr. 20, 1939, ch.
75, 53 Stat. 582).
The limitation on the amount for such contingencies is increased,
and the amount is made available to the Commandant rather than solely to
the Superintendent of the Academy as now prescribed by law. The
authorization is to cover expenditures incident to the offices of the
Commandant and the Superintendent of the Academy. The intent is that the
amount authorized will be administered in a manner similar to that now
employed by the Superintendent of the Academy under the authority of 14
U.S.C., Sec. 15k. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
