RESERVATIONS OF FUNDS 
SEC. 7014. (a) Funds appropriated under titles III through 
VI of this Act which are specifically designated may be 
reprogrammed for other programs within the same account notwith-
standing the designation if compliance with the designation is made 
impossible by operation of any provision of this or any other Act: 
Provided, That any such reprogramming shall be subject to the 
regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropria-
tions: Provided further, That assistance that is reprogrammed 
pursuant to this subsection shall be made available under the 
same terms and conditions as originally provided. 
(b) In addition to the authority contained in subsection (a), 
the original period of availability of funds appropriated by this 
Act and administered by the Department of State or the United 
States Agency for International Development (USAID) that are 
specifically designated for particular programs or activities by this 
or any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year 
if the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as appro-
priate, determines and reports promptly to the Committees on 
Appropriations that the termination of assistance to a country or 
a significant change in circumstances makes it unlikely that such 
designated funds can be obligated during the original period of 
availability: Provided, That such designated funds that continue 
to be available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
only for the purpose of such designation. 
(c) Ceilings and specifically designated funding levels contained 
in this Act shall not be applicable to funds or authorities appro-

by this Act.
