A-09 / Legal boundary
Use pre-enactment funds for specified newly added IBF powers
FY2026 NDAA §867(b) bars funds made available before enactment from carrying out activities under new §4817(g), (h), (i) or (j).
Scope and exceptions
This restriction concerns the specified newly added subsections, not every legacy industrial-base activity. A qualifying later appropriation may support eligible new-authority use.
Planning implication
Do not pair a new §4817 power with an older funding balance without tracing this statutory limitation.
