Emergency and extraordinary expenses

§ 7202. Emergency and extraordinary expenses (a) Within the limits of appropriations made for the purpose, the Secretary of the Navy may provide for any emergency or any extraordinary expense that arises in the Department of the Navy and that cannot be anticipated or classified. When it is so provided in such an appropriation, the funds may be spent on approval or authority of the Secretary for any purpose he determines to be proper, and such a determination is final and conclusive upon the accounting officers of the United States. The Secretary may certify the amount of any such expenditure that he considers advisable not to specify, and his certificate is a sufficient voucher for the expenditure of that amount. (b) The Secretary, to the extent he considers proper, may delegate the authority conferred by this section to any person in the Department of the Navy, with or without the authority to make successive redelegations.
