Sec. 2208. Working-capital funds

    (a) To control and account more effectively for the cost of programs 
and work performed in the Department of Defense, the Secretary of 
Defense may require the establishment of working-capital funds in the 
Department of Defense to--
        (1) finance inventories of such supplies as he may designate; 
    and
        (2) provide working capital for such industrial-type activities, 
    and such commercial-type activities that provide common services 
    within or among departments and agencies of the Department of 
    Defense, as he may designate.

    (b) Upon the request of the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
the Treasury shall establish working-capital funds established under 
this section on the books of the Department of the Treasury.
    (c) Working-capital funds shall be charged, when appropriate, with 
the cost of--
        (1) supplies that are procured or otherwise acquired, 
    manufactured, repaired, issued, or used; and
        (2) services or work performed;

including applicable administrative expenses, and be reimbursed from 
available appropriations or otherwise credited for those costs, 
including applicable administrative expenses and costs of using 
equipment.
    (d) The Secretary of Defense may provide capital for working-capital 
funds by capitalizing inventories. In addition, such amounts may be 
appropriated for the purpose of providing capital for working-capital 
funds as have been specifically authorized by law.
    (e) Subject to the authority and direction of the Secretary of 
Defense, the Secretary of each military department shall allocate 
responsibility for its functions, powers, and duties to accomplish the 
most economical and efficient organization and operation of the 
activities, and the most economical and efficient use of the 
inventories, for which working-capital funds are authorized by this 
section.
    (f) The requisitioning agency may not incur a cost for supplies 
drawn from inventories, or services or work performed by industrial-type 
or commercial-type activities for which working-capital funds may be 
established under this section, that is more than the amount of 
appropriations or other funds available for those purposes.
    (g) The appraised value of supplies returned to working-capital 
funds by a department, activity, or agency may be charged to that fund. 
The proceeds thereof shall be credited to current applicable 
appropriations and are available for expenditure for the same purposes 
that those appropriations are so available. Credits may not be made to 
appropriations under this subsection as the result of capitalization of 
inventories under subsection (d).
    (h) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations governing 
the operation of activities and use of inventories authorized by this 
section. The regulations may, if the needs of the Department of Defense 
require it and it is otherwise authorized by law, authorize supplies to 
be sold to, or services to be rendered or work performed for, persons 
outside the Department of Defense. However, supplies available in 
inventories financed by working capital funds established under this 
section may be sold to contractors for use in performing contracts with 
the Department of Defense. Working-capital funds shall be reimbursed for 
supplies so sold, services so rendered, or work so performed by charges 
to applicable appropriations or payments received in cash.
    (i) For provisions relating to sales outside the Department of 
Defense of manufactured articles and services by a working-capital 
funded Army industrial facility (including a Department of the Army 
arsenal) that manufactures large caliber cannons, gun mounts, recoil 
mechanisms, ammunition, munitions, or components thereof, see section 
4543 of this title.
    (j)(1) The Secretary of a military department may authorize a 
working capital funded industrial facility of that department to 
manufacture or remanufacture articles and sell these articles, as well 
as manufacturing, remanufacturing, and engineering services provided by 
such facilities, to persons outside the Department of Defense if--
        (A) the person purchasing the article or service is fulfilling a 
    Department of Defense contract or a subcontract under a Department 
    of Defense contract, and the solicitation for the contract or 
    subcontract is open to competition between Department of Defense 
    activities and private firms; or
        (B) the Secretary would advance the objectives set forth in 
    section 2474(b)(2) of this title by authorizing the facility to do 
    so.

    (2) The Secretary of Defense may waive the conditions in paragraph 
(1) in the case of a particular sale if the Secretary determines that 
the waiver is necessary for reasons of national security and notifies 
Congress regarding the reasons for the waiver.
    (k)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), a contract for the procurement of a 
capital asset financed by a working-capital fund may be awarded in 
advance of the availability of funds in the working-capital fund for the 
procurement.

that have a development or acquisition cost of not less than $100,000:

may be made if the Secretary of the military department concerned 
submits to Congress written notification of the advance billing within 
30 days after the end of the month in which the advanced billing was 
made. The notification shall include the following:
        (A) The reasons for the advance billing.
        (B) An analysis of the effects of the advance billing on 
    military readiness.
        (C) An analysis of the effects of the advance billing on the 
    customer.

    (2) The Secretary of Defense may waive the notification requirements 
of paragraph (1)--
        (A) during a period of war or national emergency; or
        (B) to the extent that the Secretary determines necessary to 
    support a contingency operation.

    (3) The total amount of the advance billings rendered or imposed for 
all working-capital funds of the Department of Defense in a fiscal year 
may not exceed $1,000,000,000.
    (4) In this subsection:
        (A) The term ``advance billing'', with respect to a working-
    capital fund, means a billing of a customer by the fund, or a 
    requirement for a customer to reimburse or otherwise credit the 
    fund, for the cost of goods or services provided (or for other 
    expenses incurred) on behalf of the customer that is rendered or 
    imposed before the customer receives the goods or before the 
    services have been performed.

with respect to each working-capital fund of a Defense Agency, and the 
Secretary of a military department, with respect to each working-capital
