          ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS

             An advance appropriation is one made to become available one year or more beyond the year for which the appropriations act
                is passed. Advance appropriations in 2014 appropriations acts will become available for programs in 2015 or beyond. Since
                these appropriations are not available until after 2014, the amounts will not be included in the 2014 totals, but will be
                reflected in the totals for the year for which they are requested.

             The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (31 U.S.C. 1105(a)(17)) requires inclusion in the budget of "information on estimates
                of appropriations for the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted for grants, contracts, and
                other payments under each program for which there is an authorization of appropriations for that following fiscal year when
                the appropriations are authorized to be included in an appropriation law for the fiscal year before the fiscal year in which
                the appropriation is to be available for obligation." In fulfillment of this requirement, the accompanying table lists those
                accounts that have either received discretionary or mandatory advance appropriations since 2012 or will request, in 2014,
                advance appropriations for 2015 and beyond and cites the applicable authorizing statute.

             The enacted Continuing Resolution for 2013 (P.L. 112–175) does not explicitly address advance appropriations for 2014. If
                a full year continuing resolution is enacted, this Budget, as illustrated by the accompanying table, assumes that specific
                legislative anomaly language will be included to make 2014 advance appropriations available.  This is in order to ensure comparability
                with annual funding provided under the enacted Continuing Resolution for 2013 and to depict accurately the 2014 discretionary
                request levels compared to the discretionary budget authority caps enacted in the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act
                of 1985, as amended.  In general, the Budget also assumes that the 2014 level that would be enacted in the legislative anomaly
                for discretionary appropriations is consistent with the 2013 advance appropriations that were enacted in the 2012 appropriations
                acts. However, for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the 2014 level is instead consistent with the 2014 advance appropriation
                that was requested in the 2013 Budget. For the mandatory advance appropriations, the Budget assumes that the 2014 level is
                the request from the 2013 Budget.

             1Any across-the-board reduction provisions included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–74) are excluded.2One additional new advance appropriation that the Administration is proposing to be considered outside of the limit on advance
             appropriations is for full funding of construction of Virginia class submarines at the Department of Defense (DOD). In the
             2014 request, a regular appropriation is requested in 2014 and an advance appropriation is requested for 2015 in the Shipbuilding
             and Conversion, Navy account to fully fund the construction of Virginia class submarines. 3To account for the Administration's Elementary and Secondary Education Act reauthorization proposal, the 2014 Budget eliminates
             the $1.681 billion advance appropriation that was previously in the School Improvement account (renamed the Education Improvement
             Account) and replaces it with corresponding increases to advance appropriations in the accounts for Education for the Disadvantaged
             ($841 million, renamed Accelerating Achievement and Ensuring Equity) and Special Education ($841 million). Total advance appropriations
             in the Department of Education remain unchanged at $22.596 billion.4The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–74) cancelled $1,750 million from the one-year funds advance appropriated
             for 2012 in P.L. 112–10 and reappropriated an equal amount for 2012 with an extended period of availability. The 2014 Budget
             proposes to cancel $1,750 million from the one-year funds assumed to be appropriated for 2014 in the legislative anomaly,
             which would make 2014 advance appropriations available, and reappropriate an equal amount for 2014 with an extended period
             of availability.5The 2014 request includes a 2016 advance appropriation for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting of $445 million, consistent
             with the historical practice of providing the Corporation a two-year advance appropriation.
