Provision Content
(a) The official having administrative control of an appropriation available to the legislative branch, the judicial branch, the United States International Trade Commission, or the District of Columbia government, and, subject to the approval of the President, the head of each executive agency (except the Commission) shall prescribe by regulation a system of administrative control not inconsistent with accounting procedures prescribed under law. The system shall be designed to—
(1) restrict obligations or expenditures from each appropriation to the amount of apportionments or reapportionments of the appropriation; and
(2) enable the official or the head of the executive agency to fix responsibility for an obligation or expenditure exceeding an apportionment or reapportionment.
(b) To have a simplified system for administratively dividing appropriations, the head of each executive agency (except the Commission) shall work toward the objective of financing each operating unit, at the highest practical level, from not more than one administrative division for each appropriation affecting the unit.

In the section, the words (except the Commission) are added because the International Trade Commission is covered specifically by the source provisions restated in this section.
In subsection (a), the word official is substituted for officer for consistency in the revised title. The words judicial branch are substituted for judiciary, and the words District of Columbia government are substituted for District of Columbia, for consistency. The word President is substituted for Director of the Office of Management and Budget because sections 101 and 102(a) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff. July 1, 1970, 84 Stat. 2085) designated the Bureau of the Budget as the Office of Management and Budget and transferred all functions of the Bureau to the President.
In subsection (b), the words dividing and division are substituted for subdivision for consistency in the revised section. The word appropriations is substituted for appropriations or funds because of the definition of appropriation in section 1511 of the revised title.
