often refers to the full receipt and outlay proposals rather than the', 655:'volumes in which these amounts are published. some people refer collectively to the budget resolution and revenue and

provide? the budget focuses primarily on the budget year—the upcoming fiscal year for which the', 667:'congress needs to make appropriations. however, it includes data for the most recently completed year, the current year, and nine', 668:'years following the budget year outyears in order to reflect the effect of budget decisions over the longer term. in', 669:'addition to proposed appropriations

parts. the apportionment part pertains to funds appropriated for that fiscal year and to balances', 703:'of appropriations made in prior years that remain available for obligation. at the beginning of the fiscal year, and at', 704:'such other times as necessary, omb apportions funds—that is, specifies the amount of funds that an agency may use by', 705:'time period, program, project, or activity—to executive branch agencies. throughout the year, agencies hire people, enter into contracts, and enter', 706:'into grant agreements, etc., in order to carry out their programs, projects, and activities. these actions use up the available', 707:'funds by obligating the federal government to make outlays, immediately or in the future. the reporting and outlay part lasts', 708:'until funds are canceled oneyear and multipleyear funds are canceled at the end of the fifth year after the funds', 709:'expire for new obligations or until funds are totally disbursed for noyear funds. note: the

811:'the gpra modernization act of 2010 require? 15.6 what do i need to know about the federal credit reform act', 812:'of 1990? 15.1 what laws govern the budget cycle? the federal budget cycle can be divided into three distinct phases', 813:'that are generally sequential and yet intertwined. the first phase, which culminates in the transmittal of the presidents budget proposals', 814:'to the congress, is called the budget formulation phase. in the next phase, the congress acts upon laws that together', 815:'constitute the enacted budget. once the laws have been enacted, executive agencies carry out the laws in the budget execution', 816:'phase. the federal budget cycle is governed mainly by the following laws, which we describe below: budget and accounting act.', 817:'congressional budget act. balanced budget and emergency deficit control act, as amended bbedca. statutory payasyougo act. antideficiency act. impoundment control', 818:'act. gpra modernization act formerly government performance and results act. federal credit reform act. 15.2 why is the budget and', 819:'accounting act important? before enactment of this law in 1921, there was no annual centralized budgeting in the executive branch.', 820:'federal government agencies usually sent budget requests independently to congressional committees with no coordination of the various requests in formulating', 821:'the federal governments budget. the budget and accounting act required the president to coordinate the budget requests for all government', 822:'agencies and to send a comprehensive budget to the congress. it created the bureau of the budget, now the office', 823:'of management and budget omb, to help the president implement these requirements. it also required the president to include certain', 824:'information in the budget. the congress has amended the requirements many times and has codified them as chapter 11, title', 825:'31, u.s. code. these are some of the requirements: on or after the first monday in january but not later', 826:'than the first monday in february of each year, the president shall submit a budget of the united states government', 827:'for the following fiscal year. each budget shall include a budget message and summary and supporting information. the president shall', 828:'include in each budget the following the provision goes on to list about thirty items, such as expenditures and receipts', 829:'for the past year through the fourth year following the budget year, information on debt, financial information, and information on', 830:'employment levels. omb circular no. a–11 2019 page 1 of section 15 section 15—basic budget laws under regulations prescribed by', 831:'the president, each agency shall provide information required by the president in carrying out this chapter. the president has access', 832:'to, and may inspect, records of an agency to obtain information. estimated expenditures and proposed appropriations for the legislative branch', 833:'and the judicial branch shall be submitted to the president before october 16 of each year and included in the', 834:'budget by the president without change. 15.3 how does the congress enact the budget and how is the budget enforced?', 835:'the congress does not enact a budget, as such. the congress reviews the presidents budget and develops its budget by', 836:'approving three distinct kinds of measures: the congress adopts a concurrent resolution in the spring that specifies total receipts and', 837:'outlays and major categories of spending. next, legislation authorizing changes in direct spending programs and in taxes are enacted consistent', 838:'with the budget resolution. finally, the congress enacts discretionary appropriations in the regular appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year.', 839:'the current congressional budget process was established by the enactment of the congressional budget act cba. before the cba, which', 840:'was enacted in 1974, there was no annual centralized budgeting in the legislative branch. each of the regular annual appropriations', 841:'bills was acted on separately by the congress and changes in taxes were authorized in another process. in addition, there', 842:'was no established process to add up the total receipts and total spending in all the bills to reach the', 843:'federal governments bottom line, whether it was a surplus or a deficit. the cba established the concurrent resolution on the', 844:'budget, also known as the budget resolution, the house and senate budget committees, the congressional budget office, and procedures for', 845:'relating individual appropriation actions to the budget totals. also, the cba defines some key budget terms, such as budget authority,', 846:'that are used in all phases of the presidents budget formulation process and the congressional budget process. the cba was', 847:'amended extensively by a series of laws. bbedca, one of these amendments, had as its central feature a series of', 848:'declining deficit targets. bbedca was amended by the budget enforcement act, which applied a statutory payasyougo paygo process to direct', 849:'spending and revenue legislation and discretionary spending limits to annual appropriations acts. the statutory paygo process and discretionary spending limits', 850:'expired in 2002. recently enacted laws, however, have reinstated the statutory budget enforcement mechanisms for mandatory spending and revenues and', 851:'discretionary spending. the statutory payasyougo act of 2010 established a statutory procedure to enforce a rule of deficit neutrality on', 852:'new revenue and mandatory spending legislation. the law requires that new legislation changing revenues or mandatory expenditures, taken cumulatively, must', 853:'not increase projected deficits. if such legislation does increase projected deficits, the law requires automatic acrosstheboard cuts, known as sequestration,', 854:'in nonexempt mandatory programs. bbedca specifies limits caps on the amount of discretionary budget authority that can be provided through', 855:'the annual appropriations process for 2012 page 2 of section 15 omb circular no. a–11 2019 section 15—basic budget laws', 856:'through 2021. if the amount of appropriations provided in appropriations acts for a given year exceeds the caps, the law', 857:'requires the president to cancel discretionary budgetary resources in nonexempt accounts by the excess amount. section 21 provides more information', 858:'on the statutory payasyougo act and bbedca and their enforcement mechanisms. 15.4 what laws govern the budget execution process when', 859:'funds are actually spent? chapters 13, 15, and 33 of title 31, united states code, govern the process of budget', 860:'execution. among these, the major laws are the antideficiency act, the impoundment control act, the provisions known as the economy', 861:'act which are found in section 1535, the provisions that govern the closing of accounts which are found in sections', 862:'1551 through 1555, and provisions of the miscellaneous receipts act, which is found in section 3302. the antideficiency act requires', 863:'omb to apportion the accounts and to monitor spending; prohibits agencies from spending more than the amounts appropriated or apportioned,', 864:'whichever is lower; requires that agencies control their spending; and provides penalties for overspending. specifically, agencies may not: purchase services', 865:'and merchandise before appropriations are enacted and accounts are apportioned; enter into contracts that exceed the appropriation for the year', 866:'or the amount apportioned by omb, whichever is lower; or pay bills when there is no cash in the appropriation', 867:'or fund account. the head of each agency is required to establish, by regulation, a system of administrative control of', 868:'funds that: restricts obligation and expenditure outlays or disbursements from each account to the lower of the amount apportioned by', 869:'omb or the amount available for obligation and/or expenditure. enables the head of the agency to identify the persons responsible', 870:'for violating the act. there are administrative and criminal penalties for violating the antideficiency act. also, the agency head is', 871:'required to report any violations to the president, through the omb director; to the congress; and to the comptroller general.', 872:'see section 145 for instructions on reporting violations. the impoundment control act, which was enacted in 1974, requires that the', 873:'president notify congress whenever an official of the executive branch impounds i.e. withholds budget authority. there are two types of', 874:'impoundments: the temporary deferral of funds and rescission proposals to permanently reduce spending. the act also prescribes the rules that', 875:'must be followed whenever the executive branch impounds funds. see section 112 for instructions on reporting deferrals and rescission proposals', 876:'and the rules that must be followed. omb

878:'governments performance management framework, retaining and amplifying some aspects of the government performance and results act of 1993 gpra while', 879:'also addressing some of its weaknesses. the gpra in 1993 had established strategic planning, performance planning, and reporting as a', 880:'framework for agencies to communicate progress in achieving their missions. the gpra modernization act establishes some important changes to existing', 881:'requirements that move toward a more useful approach to performance planning and reporting on a central website. the gpra modernization', 882:'act serves as a foundation for helping agencies to focus on their highest priorities and creating a culture where data', 883:'and empirical evidence play a greater role in policy, budget, and

authority. the period of availability for incurring new obligations is shorter than the period of availability for making disbursements,', 1278:'which is covered by a general law. each is described below. period of availability for incurring new obligations: annual budget', 1279:'authority. this term refers to budget authority that is available for obligation during only one fiscal year or less. one', 1280:'year is the default period of availability for annual appropriations acts including an appropriation that provides indefinite authority such as', 1281:'such sums as may be necessary…, because a general provision in each of the acts specifies that the amounts provided', 1282:'in the act are available for one year, unless the act expressly provides otherwise. even if there were not such', 1283:'a provision, the preamble of an appropriations act says that it is for a specific fiscal year. for example, the', 1284:'following language in an appropriation act would provide oneyear budget authority: for expenses of the office of the secretary, $1,500,000.', 1285:'multiyear budget authority. the language for a specific appropriation of budget authority in an appropriations act or the authorization of', 1286:'the appropriation may make all or some portion of the amount available for obligation for a specified period of time', 1287:'in excess of one fiscal year. usually, the period covers two or more whole fiscal years, but it may cover', 1288:'a period that includes part of the second fiscal year. we refer to such budget authority as multiyear budget authority', 1289:'or, specifically, as twoyear budget authority, threeyear budget authority, etc. for example, if the following language appeared in an appropriations', 1290:'act for 2011, it would provide twoyear budget authority: for research and development, $1,500,000, to remain available until september 30,', 1291:'2012. noyear budget authority. the language for a specific appropriation of budget authority or the authorization of the appropriation may', 1292:'make all or some portion of the amount available until expended. that means you can incur obligations against it indefinitely.',

facilities, $1,500,000, to remain available until expended. authorizing laws that make appropriations seldom limit the', 1295:'period of availability, so most budget authority provided in authorizing laws is noyear budget authority. 31 u.s.c. 1555 provides for', 1296:'the closing of appropriation accounts that are available for indefinite periods if the agency head or the president determines

refer to it as', 1350:'definite budget authority. we consider the budget authority definite when the language provides a ceiling, for example not to exceed', 1351:'a specified amount. you record the specified amount as budget authority. for example, this language would provide definite budget authority', 1352:'of $100 million: for salaries and expenses, not to exceed $100,000,000. if a law doesnt specify an amount of budget', 1353:'authority, but, instead, specifies a variable factor that determines the amount, or a floor, for example not less than a', 1354:'specified amount, we refer to the budget authority as indefinite. if the law provides such sums as may be necessary', 1355:'to cover the obligations resulting from an entitlement such as unemployment insurance, record budget authority in the past year equal', 1356:'to the amount obligated and in other years equal to your estimate of obligations. if a law authorizes you to', 1357:'obligate all of the receipts from a specified source, record budget authority equal to the amount of receipts you collected', 1358:'in the past year and equal to amounts you estimate you will collect in other years. if a law appropriates', 1359:'a specific amount to be derived from receipts, it limits the amount of budget authority actually provided to the lower', 1360:'of the actual receipts or the amount specified. for example, if the language read, and, in addition, $75,000,000 of the', 1361:'amounts collected under section 101 of the authorization act of 2005, you could obligate only the amount actually collected, up', 1362:'to $75,000,000. similarly, if a law appropriates an amount to be derived from a special or trust fund, it limits', 1363:'the amount of budget authority actually provided to the lower of the amount of the balances in the fund or', 1364:'the specified amount. for example, language that reads, for necessary expenses, $1,500,000, to be derived from the land restoration trust', 1365:'fund, allows you to obligate only the amount actually in the fund and no more than $1,500,000. if a law', 1366:'authorizes you to obligate all of the receipts credited to a fund, record budget authority omb circular no. a–11 2019', 1367:'page 17 of section 20 section 20—terms and concepts equal to the amount of receipts collected by the fund in', 1368:'the past year and equal to the amounts you estimate you will collect in other years. some laws that provide', 1369:'borrowing authority limit the amount of debt that may be outstanding at any one time. this may limit your ability', 1370:'to incur obligations indirectly, because you must consider your ability to borrow the cash needed to liquidate the obligations that', 1371:'will become due, but it doesnt determine the level of obligations directly. instead, these laws act much like a revolving', 1372:'line of credit where you may repeatedly borrow up to a limit, make repayments, and borrow again up to the', 1373:'limit, so that over time your total borrowing exceeds the limit on credit outstanding at any point in time. in', 1374:'such cases, treat the budget authority as indefinite and record the amount that you obligated in the past year or', 1375:'estimate you will obligate in other years. balances of indefinite borrowing authority may not be carried forward in excess of', 1376:'amounts needed to cover obligations. under the scorekeeping guidelines used by omb and congressional scorekeepers, omb will score legislation that', 1377:'imposes or changes a limit of this type only to the extent that we estimate that it will alter the', 1378:'amount of obligations that will be incurred see appendix a, scorekeeping guideline no. 16. most budget authority provided in appropriations', 1379:'acts is definite, and most budget authority provided in other laws is indefinite. the congress may enact laws that preclude', 1380:'agencies from using all of their potential budget authority. for example, in some cases the congress enacts limitations on obligations', 1381:'or program levels in appropriations acts that limit the authority to use offsetting collections or receipts provided in authorizing legislation.', 1382:'in other cases, the authorizing law may itself limit the amount of obligations you may incur, such as through a', 1383:'benefit formula that determines the amount of benefits that may be obligated. for special and trust funds with indefinite budget', 1384:'authority whose obligations are constrained by a limitation on obligations or benefit formula, the collections in excess of such limitations', 1385:'or benefit formulas are not counted as budget authority. similarly, offsetting collections that are precluded from obligation are not counted', 1386:'as budget authority. in these cases, you reduce the spending authority by the precluded amount. the precluded amounts are considered', 1387:'to be unavailable and are not included in the accounts unobligated balances. you record new budget authority in the year', 1388:'the amounts become available for obligation under the law. e discretionary or mandatory and current or permanent budget authority bbedca', 1389:'requires us to classify budget authority and outlays as either discretionary spending or mandatory spending, and applies a different set', 1390:'of rules to each type of spending. we explain this further in section 21.3. sometimes, budget authority is characterized as', 1391:'current or permanent. current authority requires congressional appropriations action on the request for new budget authority for the year involved.', 1392:'permanent authority becomes available pursuant to standing provisions of law without further appropriations action by the congress after transmittal of', 1393:'the budget for the year involved. generally, budget authority is current if an annual appropriations act provided it and permanent', 1394:'if authorizing legislation provides it. by and large, the current/permanent distinction has been replaced by the discretionary/mandatory distinction, which is', 1395:'similar but not identical. f unobligated balance an unobligated balance consists of the cumulative amount of budget authority that remains', 1396:'available for obligation under law in unexpired accounts. this means that, unless the law expressly provides otherwise, rescissions and cancellations', 1397:'of unobligated balances apply only to unexpired amounts. in cases where page 18 of section 20 omb circular no. a–11', 1398:'2019 section 20—terms and concepts rescissions or cancellations are determined to apply to expired amounts, such amounts would not count', 1399:'as discretionary offsets for appropriations. in budget execution, both the unexpired, unobligated balances of budget authority at the start of', 1400:'the year, which is available for new obligations and the expired amounts which are only available to cover upward adjustments', 1401:'to prior year obligations are reported as budgetary resources. in budget formulation, only the unexpired, unobligated balances brought forward are', 1402:'reported; expired balances available for adjustment only are not included. unobligated balances carried forward must meet all of the following', 1403:'conditions: they are balances of budget authority that have never been obligated or that have been obligated and deobligated; they', 1404:'are balances of budget authority that do not expire at the end of the fiscal year; they do not include', 1405:'any amounts for: 1 indefinite appropriations, except available special and trust fund receipts; 2 indefinite borrowing authority; or 3 indefinite', 1406:'contract authority; and the amount can be quantified by subtracting the obligations to date from the amount of budget authority', 1407:'provided new budget authority and unobligated balances carried forward at the start of the year from the previous fiscal year.', 1408:'that is, the law providing the budget authority must have specified a definite amount or an indefinite amount based on', 1409:'the appropriation of collections from a specified source. such sums as may be necessary cannot be quantified. unavailable special and', 1410:'trust fund receipts or unavailable offsetting collections should not be counted as budget authority and, therefore, there should be no', 1411:'unobligated balances as a result of them. unavailable receipts are included in the special and trust fund receipts schedule see', 1412:'section 86.4; unavailable offsetting collections are presented as a memorandum entry in the program

82.11', 1416:'and 82.12. g obligated balance the term obligated balance is a term of art that is defined in law as', 1417:'a net concept. it is not the unpaid obligations. the obligated balances are calculated as follows: take the unpaid obligations', 1418:'which is the sum of the accounts payable and the undelivered orders; and subtract the uncollected customer payments from federal', 1419:'sources i.e., accounts receivable and the unpaid, unfilled orders from federal sources. h reappropriation a reappropriation is an extension of', 1420:'the availability of unobligated balances of budget authority that have expired or would otherwise expire as a result of legislation', 1421:'enacted subsequent to the law that provided the budget authority. the term does not apply to extensions of the availability', 1422:'of unobligated balances of budget authority that result from standing provisions of law, enacted before the budget authority was provided,', 1423:'or from provisions of law

a general fund expenditure account records appropriations from the general fund and', 1863:'the associated transactions, such as obligations and outlays. general fund appropriations draw from general fund receipts collectively and, therefore, are', 1864:'not specifically linked to receipt accounts. the federal funds group also includes special funds and revolving funds, both of which', 1865:'earmark collections for spending on specific purposes. we establish a special fund where the law requires us to earmark collections', 1866:'from a specified source to finance a particular program, and the law neither authorizes the fund to conduct a cycle', 1867:'of businesstype operations making it a revolving fund nor designates it as a trust fund. for example, a law established', 1868:'the land and water conservation fund, earmarking a portion of rents and royalties from outer continental shelf lands and other', 1869:'receipts to be used for land acquisition, conservation, and recreation programs. the receipts earmarked to a fund are recorded in', 1870:'one or more special fund receipt accounts. more than one receipt account may be necessary to distinguish different types of', 1871:'receipts governmental, proprietary, etc. and receipts from significantly different types of transactions registration fees vs. fines and penalties, for example.', 1872:'the funds appropriations and associated transactions are recorded in a special fund expenditure account. most funds have only one expenditure', 1873:'account, even if they have multiple receipt accounts. however, a large fund, especially one with appropriations to more than one', 1874:'agency such as the land and water conservation fund, may have more than one expenditure account. the majority of special', 1875:'fund collections are derived from the governments power to impose taxes, fines, and other compulsory payments, and they must be', 1876:'appropriated before they can be obligated and spent. revolving funds conduct continuing cycles of businesslike activity. they charge for the', 1877:'sale of products or services and use the proceeds to finance their spending. instead of recording the collections in receipt', 1878:'accounts as offsetting receipts, the budget records the collections and the outlays of revolving funds in the same account. the', 1879:'laws that establish revolving funds authorize the collections to be obligated and outlayed for the purposes of the fund without', 1880:'further appropriation. the law of supply and demand is expected to regulate such funds. however, in some cases, the congress', 1881:'enacts obligation limitations on the funds in appropriations acts as a way of controlling their expenditures for example, a limitation', 1882:'on administrative expenses. there are two types of revolving funds in the federal funds group. public enterprise funds, such as', 1883:'the postal service fund, conduct businesslike operations mainly with the public. intragovernmental funds, such as the federal buildings fund, conduct', 1884:'businesslike operations mainly within and between government agencies. d trust funds trust funds account for the receipt and expenditure of', 1885:'monies by the government for carrying out specific purposes and programs in accordance with the terms of a statute that', 1886:'designates the fund as a trust fund such as the highway trust fund or for carrying out the stipulations of', 1887:'a trust agreement where the nation is the beneficiary such as any of several trust funds for gifts and donations', 1888:'for specific purposes. like special funds and revolving funds, trust funds earmark collections for spending on specific purposes. many of', 1889:'the larger trust funds finance social insurance payments for individuals, such as social security, medicare, and unemployment compensation. other major', 1890:'trust funds finance military and federal civilian employees retirement, highway and mass transit construction, and airport and airway development. omb', 1891:'circular no. a–11 2019 page 41 of section 20 section 20—terms and concepts a trust fund normally consists of one', 1892:'or more receipt accounts to record receipts and an expenditure account to record the appropriation of the receipts and associated', 1893:'transactions. some trust funds have multiple receipt accounts for the same reasons that special funds have them. also, like special', 1894:'funds, large trust funds such as the highway trust fund may have multiple expenditure accounts. a few trust funds, such', 1895:'as the veterans special life insurance fund and the employees life insurance fund, are established by law as revolving funds.', 1896:'these funds operate the same way as revolving funds in the federal funds group, and we call them trust revolving', 1897:'funds. they conduct a cycle of businesstype operations. the collections are credited to the expenditure account as offsetting collections and', 1898:'their outlays are displayed net of collections in a single expenditure account. the federal budget meaning of the term trust,', 1899:'as applied to trust fund accounts, differs significantly from its private sector usage. in the private sector, the beneficiary of', 1900:'a trust usually owns the trusts assets, which are managed by a trustee who must follow the stipulations of the', 1901:'trust. in contrast, the federal government owns the assets of most federal trust funds, and it can raise or lower', 1902:'future trust fund collections and payments, or change the purposes for which the collections are used, by changing existing laws.', 1903:'there is no substantive difference between these trust funds and special funds or between trust revolving funds and public enterprise', 1904:'revolving funds. whether a particular fund is designated in law as a trust fund is, in many cases, arbitrary. for', 1905:'example, the national service life insurance fund is a trust fund, but the servicemens group life insurance fund is a', 1906:'federal fund, even though both are financed by earmarked fees paid by veterans and both provide life insurance payments to', 1907:'veterans beneficiaries. there are a few federal trust funds that are managed pursuant to a trust agreement. these are identified', 1908:'in the budget as gift funds. in addition, the government does act as a true trustee on behalf of some', 1909:'entities outside of the government where it makes no decisions about the amount of these deposits or how they are', 1910:'spent. for example, it maintains accounts on behalf of individual federal employees in the thrift savings fund, investing them as', 1911:'directed by the individual employee. the government accounts for such funds in deposit funds see the section after next. in', 1912:'cases where the law provides an appropriation from the general fund of the u.s. treasury to a trust fund, a', 1913:'general fund expenditure account and an associated trust fund receipt account are used to record the financial transaction that moves', 1914:'resources between fund types. e clearing accounts you use clearing accounts to temporarily account for transactions that you know belong', 1915:'to the government while you wait for information that will allow you to match the transaction to a specific receipt', 1916:'or expenditure account. for example: to temporarily credit unclassified transactions from the public when there is a reasonable presumption that', 1917:'the amounts belong to a federal government account other than miscellaneous receipts in the treasury. to temporarily credit unclassified transactions', 1918:'between federal agencies, including intragovernmental payment and collection ipac transactions. you should not use clearing accounts to mask an overobligation', 1919:'or overexpenditure of an expenditure account. f deposit funds you use deposit funds to account for monies that do not', 1920:'belong to the government. this includes monies held temporarily by the government until ownership is determined such as earnest money', 1921:'paid by bidders for mineral leases or held by the government as an agent for others such as state and', 1922:'local income taxes page 42 of section 20 omb circular no. a–11 2019 section 20—terms and concepts withheld from federal', 1923:'employees salaries and not yet paid to the state or local government. we exclude deposit fund transactions, as such, from', 1924:'the budget totals because the funds are not owned by the government. therefore, the budget records transactions between deposit funds', 1925:'and budgetary accounts as transactions with the public. for example, when the mineral leasing process has been completed, the winning', 1926:'bidders earnest money is transferred from the deposit fund to the appropriate receipt account and the budget records a receipt.', 1927:'similarly, outlays are recorded in an agencys salaries and expense account when a federal employee is paid, even though some', 1928:'of the amount is transferred to a deposit fund for state and local income taxes withheld and paid later to', 1929:'the state and local government. deposits and associated disbursements are recorded in the same account. 20.12 what do i need', 1930:'to know about reimbursable work? agencies can perform reimbursable work for the public or other federal agencies. the types of', 1931:'laws that allow you to use advances or reimbursements in return for providing others with goods and services are: laws', 1932:'that establish revolving funds, including franchise funds and working capital funds; provisions in appropriations or substantive laws that allow agencies', 1933:'to use the amounts they collect; and the economy act 31.u.s.c. 1535. generally speaking, laws that authorize an agency to', 1934:'enter into a reimbursable agreement with non federal transaction partners only provide

discretionary spending is the budget authority provided by annual', 2009:'appropriations acts and the outlays that result from that budget authority. for example, the budget authority and outlays for the', 2010:'salaries and expenses of federal personnel and other operating expenses of government agencies are usually provided by annual appropriations acts', 2011:'and, therefore, are usually discretionary. c definition of mandatory spending mandatory spending, also referred to as direct spending, is budget', 2012:'authority and outlays provided by permanent laws. for example, permanent laws authorize payments for medicare, unemployment insurance benefits, and farm', 2013:'price supports, so the budget authority and outlays for these programs are mandatory. in addition, budget authority provided in annual', 2014:'appropriations acts for certain programs, such as medicaid, is treated as mandatory. such accounts are called appropriated entitlements or appropriated', 2015:'mandatories. the bba of 1997 classified these accounts as such, predominantly because the authorizing legislation directs that the government make', 2016:'or beneficiaries receive payments. while mandatory and discretionary classifications are used for measuring compliance with bbedca and paygo, they do', 2017:'not determine whether a program provides legal entitlement to a payment or benefit or the availability of funding. you should', 2018:'address questions about bbedca classifications and legal entitlements to your omb representative. d committee of jurisdiction when scoring legislative language', 2019:'or a budget proposal, it is important to know which congressional committees have jurisdiction over the proposal and whether the', 2020:'affected spending is mandatory or discretionary, or whether the proposal would affect governmental receipts. while most scoring concepts apply to', 2021:'each type of spending and to governmental receipts, the budget enforcement laws differ. authorizing committees have jurisdiction over mandatory or', 2022:'direct spending and governmental receipts, and budget enforcement for this spending is governed by paygo. the appropriations committees have page', 2023:'2 of section 21 omb circular no. a–11 revised—december 2019 section 21—overview of scoring legislation jurisdiction over discretionary spending, and', 2024:'budget enforcement is governed by the spending limits caps set in bbedca. in some cases, legislative action by an appropriations', 2025:'committee may affect spending or receipts under the jurisdiction of an authorizing committee, and vice versa. in these cases, the', 2026:'budgetary effects are scored against the committee taking the legislative action. explicit omb approval is required to include authorizing language', 2027:'in the budget appendix, either as accountspecific appropriations language or as a general provision. please consult first with your omb', 2028:'representative if your agency has such a proposal. both scoring and jurisdictional issues will be part of the consideration for', 2029:'inclusion of a proposal in the budget. see section 95.5 and 95.6 for guidance on the legislative language included in', 2030:'the budget appendix. e how are scoring estimates measured? authorizing legislation is measured as a change to outlays or governmental', 2031:'receipts from the presidents budget baseline, updated for enacted legislation and certain other actions. see section 80 for how to', 2032:'construct the baseline. scoring for discretionary programs is generally measured in terms of budget authority provided in appropriations acts. for', 2033:'both authorizing legislation and discretionary programs, offsetting collections and offsetting receipts net against both budget authority and outlays in the', 2034:'year they are collected. f economic and technical assumptions bbedca requires agency and omb scoring to use the economic and', 2035:'technical assumptions underlying the most recently released presidents budget. omb provides agencies with economic assumptions to be used for budget', 2036:'estimates. examples of economic assumptions include interest rate projections, housing price projections, and projections of inflation. technical assumptions are assumptions', 2037:'that are not determined by economic factors, such as outlay rates, caseload projections, fee collection, and loan volume. for more', 2038:'information on the economic and technical assumptions underlying baseline and policy estimates see section 80 and section 31. for midsession', 2039:'review, omb normally provides revised economic assumptions to agencies, and asks agencies to update their technical assumptions. updates of economic', 2040:'and technical assumptions for the midsession review are not used for scoring, which is based on the economic and technical', 2041:'assumptions from the most recently released presidents budget. for more information on midsession review, see section 10.6. g scoring timeframes', 2042:'the budgetary effects of authorizing legislation and discretionary appropriations are scored over different timeframes. authorizing legislation is scored as the', 2043:'change to outlays or governmental receipts from the presidents budget baseline in each year of the budget window the current', 2044:'year, the budget year, and the nine subsequent years. discretionary appropriations are scored in the current and budget year only,', 2045:'and the overall score for those years includes discretionary amounts provided for those years in previous appropriation acts i.e., advance', 2046:'appropriations. omb circular no. a–11 revised—december 2019 page 3 of section 21 section 21—overview of scoring legislation 21.4 what are', 2047:'the budget enforcement mechanisms for discretionary and mandatory spending? a caps on discretionary budget authority bbedca specifies spending limits or', 2048:'caps, on discretionary budget authority for 2012 through 2021. the caps are divided between a revised security category and a', 2049:'revised nonsecurity category. the revised security category or defense category includes discretionary budget authority in the defense budget function 050,', 2050:'which primarily consists of the department of defense. the revised nonsecurity category or nondefense category includes all discretionary budget authority', 2051:'not included in the defense budget function 050. bbedca includes requirements for omb to adjust the caps for changes in', 2052:'concepts and definitions and for appropriations designated by the congress and the president as either emergency requirements or for overseas', 2053:'contingency operations/global war on terrorism. bbedca also specifies adjustments to the caps for appropriations for continuing disability reviews and redeterminations', 2054:'by the social security administration; the health care fraud and abuse control program at the department of health and human', 2055:'services; and appropriations designated by the congress as being for disaster relief. bbedca requires omb to provide cost estimates of', 2056:'each appropriations act in a report to the congress within seven days of enactment of such act and to publish', 2057:'three sequestration reports—a preview report when the president submits the budget, an update report in august, including a preview estimate', 2058:'of the adjustment for disaster funding for the upcoming fiscal year, and a final report within 15 days after the', 2059:'end of a session of congress see section 100.4. if ombs final discretionary sequestration report for a given fiscal year', 2060:'indicates that the amount of discretionary budget authority provided in appropriations acts for that year exceeds the cap for that', 2061:'category in that year, the president must issue a sequestration order to eliminate the breach. see section 100 for guidance', 2062:'on sequestration. b payasyougo for mandatory spending paygo requires that new legislation changing governmental receipts or mandatory spending or collections', 2063:'must be enacted on a payasyougo basis; that is, that the cumulative effects of such legislation must not increase projected', 2064:'onbudget deficits. the paygo statute established special scorekeeping rules, scorecards, an annual report, and a sequestration requirement. the enforcement requirements', 2065:'in paygo are permanent, unlike the budget enforcement mechanism for discretionary programs, and do not impose a cap on spending', 2066:'or a floor on governmental receipts. instead, paygo requires that bills reducing governmental receipts or increasing mandatory spending must be', 2067:'fully offset by enacting revenue increases or mandatory spending reductions. this requirement of deficit neutrality is not enforced on a', 2068:'billbybill basis, but is based on two scorecards that tally the cumulative budgetary effects of paygo legislation over the course', 2069:'of a congressional session. the paygo rules also apply to the outlays resulting from changes in outyear budget authority for', 2070:'mandatory programs made in appropriations acts chimps and to all changes to governmental receipts made in appropriations acts. the paygo', 2071:'rules do not apply to increases in mandatory spending or decreases in governmental receipts that result automatically under existing law.', 2072:'for example, mandatory spending for benefit programs, such as unemployment insurance, rises when the population of eligible beneficiaries rises, and', 2073:'many benefit payments are automatically increased for inflation under existing laws. note, however, that increases in mandatory spending that result', 2074:'from regulations and

strategies, agencies are', 2494:'encouraged to consider whether the investment would provide net benefits. b methodology for determining a baseline to evaluate improvements in', 2495:'efficiency the purpose of this section is to provide a methodology to evaluate relative spectrum efficiency when considering alternatives for', 2496:'procuring systems, as called for by subsection a, or when evaluating spectrum usage generally. the methodology does not attempt to', 2497:'measure or judge the overall benefits of a federal activity that utilizes spectrumdependent systems to achieve mission functions nor does', 2498:'it attempt to establish a dollar value or auction price. instead, the method outlined in this section provides agencies a', 2499:'way to evaluate improvements in spectrum efficiency in implementing their required and essential activities. also, agencies may develop alternative methods', 2500:'for measuring spectrum efficiency and submit them to omb for approval. one method for determining spectrum efficiency when assessing procurement', 2501:'of federal systems is to develop a baseline that measures: 1 the technical characteristics of the frequency used by the', 2502:'system, 2 the population of an area where spectrum is utilized, 3 the size of the spectrum frequency band or', 2503:'bands used, and 4 the percentage of overall spectrum capacity utilized within that band or bands. the following method can', 2504:'be used to determine a score in these terms that agencies may use in their procurement processes and budget documents', 2505:'as required in subsection a5: 1. determine a weighting factor to assign to frequency used. agencies should use table 1', 2506:'to assign a weighting factor to the frequency utilized by the system. table 1: example

the entire country, if a system is assigned or', 2517:'utilizes spectrum nationwide. 3. estimate percentage of the spectrum frequency band used by a federal system. agencies should identify the', 2518:'percentage of bandwidth utilized by a federal system. this percentage should include the total amount of bandwidth needed to operate', 2519:'the system in terms of megahertz divided by the total available spectrum in megahertz available for the system, regardless of', 2520:'whether that spectrum is necessary to support transmitting or receiving equipment. if more than one band will be used, the', 2521:'percentage should include the total amount of bandwidth needed in each band, divided by the total available spectrum across all', 2522:'bands used. to the extent possible this calculation should include necessary guard bands. estimate percentage of overall spectrum capacity utilized.', 2523:'within those spectrum bands used by a federal system, agencies should identify the percentage of overall spectrum capacity utilized. this', 2524:'may be done by estimating the average percentage of time in a day when the federal system is expected to', 2525:'operate, by estimating the average percentage of the total data capacity within that band the federal system is expected to', 2526:'use, or both. for each frequency assignment agencies are required to provide estimated time of use

80.6 what rules apply to governmental receipts? governmental receipts should be projected based on provisions', 3573:'of the tax code under current law, except that excise taxes dedicated to trust

5391:'for direct federal investment which includes all investments except those through grants to state or local governments, record the investment', 5392:'in the account that is primarily responsible for funding the investment. note that grants to research institutions are classified as', 5393:'direct federal investment, not as grants to state or local governments. this is usually the initial account. for example, if', 5394:'the environmental protection agency epa provides funds to the national science foundation nsf for research, record the r&d in the', 5395:'epa account that funds the
