               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
                     CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 
Sec. 2695. Administrative services


(a) Agreements

    Whenever the head of any Federal agency performing any foreign 
affairs functions (including, but not limited to, the Department of 
State, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and the Agency for 
International Development) determines that administrative services 
performed in common by the Department of State and one or more other 
such agencies may be performed more advantageously and more economically 
on a consolidated basis, the Secretary of State and the heads of the 
other agencies concerned may, subject to the approval of the Director of 
the Office of Management and Budget, conclude an agreement which 
provides for the transfer to and consolidation within the Department or 
within one of the other agencies concerned of so much of the functions, 
personnel, property, records, and funds of the Department and of the 
other agencies concerned as may be necessary to enable the performance 
of those administrative services on a consolidated basis for the benefit 
of all agencies concerned. Agreements for consolidation of 
administrative services under this section shall provide for 
reimbursement or advances of funds from the agency receiving the service 
to the agency performing the service in amounts which will approximate 
the expense of providing administrative services for the serviced 
agency.

(b) Payment

    (1) A Federal agency which obtains administrative services from the 
Department of State pursuant to an agreement authorized under subsection 
(a) of this section shall make full and prompt payment for such services 
through advance of funds or reimbursement.
    (2) The Secretary of State shall bill each Federal agency for 
amounts due for services provided pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
section. The Secretary shall notify a Federal agency which has not made 
full payment for services within 90 days after billing that services to 
the agency will be suspended or terminated if full payment is not made 
within 180 days after the date of notification. Except as provided under 
paragraph (3), the Secretary shall suspend or terminate services to a 
Federal agency which has not made full payment for services under this 
section 180 days after the date of notification. Any costs associated 
with a suspension or termination of services shall be the responsibility 
of, and shall be billed to, the Federal agency.
    (3) The Secretary of State may waive the requirement for suspension 
or termination under paragraph (2) with respect to such services as the 
Secretary determines are necessary to ensure the protection of life and 
the safety of United States Government property. A waiver may be issued 
for a period not to exceed one year and may be renewed.
