# § 101337. Leasing of seasonal employee quarters

**(a)** **General Authority.—** The Secretary may lease quarters at or near a System unit for use as seasonal quarters for field employees if the Secretary finds that there is a shortage of adequate and affordable seasonal quarters at or near the System unit and that—

**(1)** the requirement for the seasonal field employee quarters is temporary; or

**(2)** leasing would be more cost-effective than construction of new seasonal field employee quarters.

**(b)** **Rent.—** The rent charged to field employees under the lease shall be a rate based on the reasonable value of the quarters in accordance with requirements applicable under section 5911 of title 5.

**(c)** **Unrecovered Costs.—** The Secretary may pay the unrecovered costs of leasing seasonal quarters under this section from annual appropriations for the year in which the lease is made.
