What this does not authorize / limits

§2214 supplies conditions, not an unlimited independent transfer grant.

FY2026 §8005 ceiling is $6 billion, with specified exclusions; not a current available-balance statement.
FY2026 §8005 also sets a June 30, 2026 multiple-reprogramming-request deadline. Continued or modified application under the FY2027 CR requires fiscal review; $6 billion is not certified FY2027 transfer headroom. CR new-start/rate restrictions remain unless an exception applies.
