Department of Justice Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund
Title 47 Chapter 9 of the US Code deals with the Department of Justice Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund. The Department of Justice Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund has been established in the US Treasury which is available without fiscal year limitation to the Attorney General in order to make payments to telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, and telecommunications support services providers.
Any organization of the United States with law enforcement and/or intelligence responsibilities may deposit as counterbalance collections to the Fund any such balance which is available till it is exhausted. However, it has to be done upon compliance with any notification issued by the Congress.
The Attorney General may terminate the Department of Justice Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund at such time as he determines that the Fund is no longer necessary. Further, any balance in the Fund at the time of its extermination is deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury.
The Attorney General submits to the Congress each year a report which details all deposits and expenditures.
