                   Part II--Administrative Provisions
 
Sec. 2394-1. Notification of program changes


(a) Covered programs; content of notifications

    None of the funds appropriated to carry out the purposes of this 
chapter (except for programs under subpart III or subpart IV of part II 
of subchapter I of this chapter, part V of subchapter I of this chapter, 
and programs of disaster relief and rehabilitation) or the Arms Export 
Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.] may be obligated for any 
activities, programs, projects, types of materiel assistance, countries, 
or other operations not justified, or in excess of the amount justified, 
to the Congress for obligation under this chapter or the Arms Export 
Control Act for any fiscal year unless the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House 
of Representatives, and the Committee on Appropriations of each House of 
the Congress are notified fifteen days in advance of such obligation. 
Whenever a proposed reprograming exceeds $1,000,000 and the total amount 
proposed for obligation for a country under this chapter in a fiscal 
year exceeds by more than $5,000,000 the amount specified for that 
country in the report required by section 2413(a) of this title, 
notifications of such proposed reprogramings shall specify--
        (1) the nature and purpose of such proposed obligation, and
        (2) to the extent possible at the time of the proposed 
    obligation, the country for which such funds would otherwise have 
    been obligated.

(b) Exceptions

    The notification requirement of this section does not apply to the 
reprogramming--
        (1) of funds to be used for an activity, program, or project 
    under part I of subchapter I of this chapter if the amounts to be 
    obligated for that activity, program, or project for that fiscal 
    year do not exceed by more than 10 percent the amount justified to 
    the Congress for that activity, program, or project for that fiscal 
    year; or
        (2) of less than $25,000 to be used under part VIII of 
    subchapter I of this chapter, or under part V of subchapter II of 
    this chapter, for a country for which a program under that part for 
    that fiscal year was justified to the Congress.

(c) Funds in the International Affairs Budget Function; reprogramming

    The President shall notify the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs of the House of Representatives concerning any reprogramming of 
funds in the International Affairs Budget Function, the authorizations 
of appropriations for which are in their respective jurisdictions, to 
the same degree and with the same conditions as the President notifies 
the Committees on Appropriations. The requirements of this subsection 
are in addition to, and not in lieu of, other notification requirements.
