The Federal Protective Service account. Unlike the other accounts in this title it names no sum: the account is funded by the security fees charged to the agencies whose buildings the service guards, and those fees stay available until spent.

What the document actually says

“The revenues and collections of security fees credited to this account shall be available until expended for necessary expenses related to the protection of federally owned and leased buildings and for the operations of the Federal Protective Service.”

That sentence, in plain words

Fees paid for building security go into this account. The money stays there until it is used. It guards federal buildings.

What this is about

This account gets no set sum here. Other agencies pay fees for guard service. Those fees are what pay for the work.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
