Congress finds it has monitored funding so the system costs taxpayers nothing

What the document says
“Because of the importance for the bankruptcy system to be self-funded, at no cost to taxpayers, Congress has closely monitored the funding needs of the bankruptcy system, including by requiring periodic reporting by the Attorney General regarding the United States Trustee System Fund.”
The second finding. Congress states that it treats funding the bankruptcy system at no cost to taxpayers as important, and that it has watched the system's funding needs, one way being a standing requirement that the Attorney General report on the United States Trustee System Fund.
What the document actually says
“Because of the importance for the bankruptcy system to be self-funded, at no cost to taxpayers, Congress has closely monitored the funding needs of the bankruptcy system, including by requiring periodic reporting by the Attorney General regarding the United States Trustee System Fund.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says taxes should not pay for this system. So it keeps watch on the money. It makes an officer report on one fund.
What this is about
The fund is named in the law as a Trustee System Fund. This law does not say what it pays for. The officer who reports is the Attorney General.
