GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
OFFICE
Publication of Volume II of GAO’s
Principles of Federal Appropriations
AGENCY:
Government Accountability
Office.
ACTION:
Notice of publication.
SUMMARY: The third edition of Volume
II of GAO’s Principles of Federal
Appropriations Law is being prepared
for publication by the Government
Printing Office (GPO). Government
departments, agencies, and other federal
organizations that normally require
more than one copy have been given an
opportunity to request them through
their agencies’ account representatives
at pre-publication rate. This notice is
intended for other parties who might be
interested in purchasing the book.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) will shortly publish Volume II of
Principles of Federal Appropriations
Law, third edition—also known as ‘‘The
Red Book’’ This publication is part of a
multi-volume set intended to present a
basic reference covering those areas of
law in which the Comptroller General
renders decisions. Our approach is to
lay a foundation with text discussion,
using specific legal authorities to
illustrate the principles discussed, their
application, and exceptions. These
authorities include GAO decisions and
opinions, judicial decisions, statutory
provisions, and other relevant sources.
GAO will provide copies of this
volume to the heads of Federal agencies,
and agencies have already been given an
opportunity to place advance (rider)
orders for additional copies of this
volume with their account
representatives at the Government
Printing Office (GPO).
This notice is intended to tell the
general public that they will be able to
place pre-issue orders for this
publication through GPO’s new online

bookstore, at https://bookstore.gpo.gov/
collections/gao_appropriation.jsp.
Otherwise, we expect this publication
will be available for purchase from the
Superintendent of Documents, United
States Government Printing Office, P.O.
Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250–
7954, by April 2006. The price is $69.
Orders for Volume II should specify
GPO Stock No. 020–000–00287–5 or the
ISBN 0–16–0075602–2. Through
periodic training courses on federal
appropriations law, GAO believes that
this publication might be useful in
particular to law offices, to accounting
firms, to the financial, budget, or
accounting officers of government
contractors, to university and state law
libraries, to corporate chief financial
officers, and to people who follow
Federal financial management,
contracts, grants, and loans.
As with the second edition of
Principles, we are publishing the third
edition in loose-leaf format but will
include a CD–ROM as well. Volume II
covers chapters 6 through 11:
availability of appropriations, amount;
obligation of appropriations; continuing
resolutions; liability and relief of
accountable officers; Federal assistance,
grants and cooperative agreements; and
Federal assistance, guaranteed and
insured loans. We plan three volumes
with annual updates. The updates will
only be published electronically. Users
should retain copies of the remaining
volumes of the second edition until
each volume is revised. Volume III of
the second edition addresses functions
that the GAO Act of 1996 transferred to
the Executive Branch and will not be
updated. The first annual update of
Volume I is currently available online at
https://www.gao.gov/legal.htm.
Authority: 31 U.S.C. 712, 717, 719, 3511,
3526–29.

The NTP Board is a technical advisory body comprised of scientists
from the public and private sectors who provide primary scientific
oversight to the overall program and its centers. Specifically, the NTP
Board advises the NTP on matters of scientific program content, both
present and future, and conducts periodic review of the program for the
purposes of determining and advising on the scientific merit of its
activities and their overall scientific quality. The TRR Subcommittee
is a standing subcommittee of the NTP Board. NTP Board members are
selected from recognized authorities knowledgeable in fields, such as
toxicology, pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry, epidemiology, risk
assessment, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, molecular biology, behavioral
toxicology and neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, reproductive
toxicology or teratology, and biostatistics. Its members are invited to
serve overlapping terms of up to four years. NTP Board meetings are
held annually or biannually.
