balances of appropriations or funds relating to activities the 
financing of which is transferred to the fund) less the amount of 
related liabilities, the amount of unpaid obligations, and the 
value of accrued annual leave of employees, which are attributable 
to the activities the financing of which is transferred to the fund.

"(A) advances and reimbursements from available funds of the 
Commission or other agencies, or from other sources, for those 
services and supplies provided at rates estimated by the Commis-
sion as adequate to recover expenses of operation (including pro-
vision for accrued annual leave of employees and depreciation of 
equipment) ; and 
"(B) receipts from sales or exchanges of property, and payments 
for loss of or damage to property, accounted for under the fund.

the Commission determines to be in excess of amounts needed for 
activities financed by the fund shall be deposited in the Treasury of 
the LTnited States as miscellaneous receipts. 
"(5) The Commission shall prepare a business-type budget provid-
ing full disclosure of the results of operations for each of the functions 
performed by the Commission and financed by the fund, and such 
budget shall be transmitted to the Congress and considered, in the 
manner prescribed by law for wholly owned Government corporations.
