        of proposed Federal appropriations; advances against delayed 
        State appropriations; credit to account in the Treasury

    Each commission shall recommend what share of its expenses shall be 
borne by the Federal Government, but such share shall be subject to 
approval by the Council. The remainder of the commission's expenses 
shall be otherwise apportioned as the commission may determine. Each 
commission shall prepare a budget annually and transmit it to the 
Council and the States. Estimates of proposed appropriations from the 
Federal Government shall be included in the budget estimates submitted 
by the Council under chapter 11 of title 31, and may include an amount 
for advance to a commission against State appropriations for which delay 
is anticipated by reason of later legislative sessions. All sums 
appropriated to or otherwise received by a commission shall be credited 
to the commission's account in the Treasury of the United States.

(b) Acceptance, reception, utilization, and disposal of appropriations, 
        donations, and grants

    A commission may accept for any of its purposes and functions 
appropriations, donations, and grants of money, equipment, supplies, 
materials, and services from any State or the United States or any 
subdivision or agency thereof, or intergovernmental agency, and may 
receive, utilize, and dispose of the same.

(c) Accounts of receipts and disbursements; annual audit; inclusion in 
        annual report

    The commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and 
disbursements. The accounts shall be audited at least annually in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by independent 
certified or licensed public accountants, certified or licensed by a 
regulatory authority of a State, and the report of the audit shall be 
included in and become a part of the annual report of the commission.

(d) Inspection of accounts

    The accounts of the commission shall be open at all reasonable times 
for inspection by representatives of the jurisdictions and agencies 
which make appropriations, donations, or grants to the commission.
