PUBLIC LAW 97-35—AUG. 13, 1981 (b)(1) If during any of the fiscal years 1982 through 1984, the amount which would have been authorized to be appropriated under section 2401(c) of title 39, United States Code, if this section were not enacted exceeds the amount authorized to be appropriated by subsection (a) of this section for that fiscal year, the rates for the class of mail under former sections 4452(b) and 4452(c) of such title shall be adjusted (in the same manner as rates are adjusted under section 3627 of such title) so that the increased revenues received from the users of such class of mail will equal the amount of such difference. During such fiscal years, adjustments in rates under such section 3627 as a result of a failure of appropriations (as described by that section) may be made under section 3627 only to the extent permitted under paragraph (2) of this subsection. (2) If during any of the fiscal years 1982 through 1984 the Congress fails to appropriate the maximum amount authorized by subsection (a) of this section for purposes of section 2401(c) of title 39, United States Code, then rates for any class of mail sent at a free or reduced rate under section 3217 or section 3626 of such title 39, under the Federal Voting Assistance Act of 1955, or under the Overseas Citizens Voting Rights Act of 1975, may be adjusted during such fiscal year in accordance with section 3627 of title 39, United States Code, in order to provide for additional revenues equal to the difference between (A) the maximum amount authorized to be appropriated for such fiscal year by subsection (a) of this section, and (B) any lesser amount actually appropriated for such fiscal year for purposes of section 2401(c) of title 39, United States Code.

(a) Notwithstanding the authorization contained in section 2004 of title 39, United States Code, no sums are authorized to be appropriated to the Fund for the purposes of such section during fiscal years 1982 through 1984. During fiscal year 1985, there are authorized to be appropriated to the Fund such amounts as may be necessary to carry out such section during such fiscal year, together with such amounts as would have been available to the Fund for fiscal years 1982 through 1984 were this section not enacted.
