The Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director of the Internal Revenue Service, and the head of any other agency involved in promulgating rules or regulations to carry out or to enforce the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or any amendments made by such Act (as described in the amendment made by section 2(3)) may not, in any fiscal year, obligate or expend more than 90 percent of the funds made available for the salaries and expenses of the office of the Secretary, Director, or head (as the case may be) for such fiscal year unless such regulations are promulgated and take effect before the close of such fiscal year.
Any amounts which (by virtue of subsection (a)) remain precluded from obligation or expenditure on the last day of any fiscal year shall be rescinded on the close of such last day. Nothing in this section shall be considered to affect any funds or other amounts to the extent that such amounts would (disregarding this section) otherwise be available for purposes apart from salaries or other administrative expenses of the office involved.
