21. OUTLAYS TO THE PUBLIC, GROSS AND NET
Table 21-1 shows outlays gross and net of offsetting collections and
offsetting receipts from the public for all major agencies.
The following table shows outlays gross of offsetting collections and
offsetting receipts from the public. Since outlays are an important
measure of Government spending, the table demonstrates that offsetting
receipts and offsetting collections from the public are relatively more
important for some agencies than for others when discussing net outlays.
See the section on ``outlays'' in Chapter 26, ``The Budget System and
Concepts,'' for a more detailed discussion on the outlay totals in the
budget.
In this table, negative net outlays occur when offsetting collections
exceed payments. The amounts for ``Allowances'' cover certain
transactions that are expected to increase or decrease outlays but are
not, for various reasons, attributed to any specific agency. The amounts
labeled ``undistributed offsetting receipts'' are deducted from the
Government-wide outlay totals but not from any specific agency.
Offsetting collections and offsetting receipts are discussed in more
detail in Chapter 18 of this volume, ``User Charges and Other
Collections.''
