         ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS                                                                                                   
            
         
      
      
   
   
      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 2016 appropriations acts will become available for programs in 2017 or beyond. Since
            these appropriations are not available until after 2016, the amounts will not be included in the 2016 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 2014 or will request, in 2016,
            advance appropriations for 2017 and beyond and cites the applicable authorizing statute.
         
         For additional information on advance appropriations, please refer to the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

         1The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113â76) cancelled $1,800 million from the one-year funds advance appropriated
         for 2014 in P.L. 113â6 and reappropriated $1,750 million with an extended period of availability. The Consolidated and Further
         Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113â235) cancelled $1,750 million from the one-year funds advance appropriated for
         2015 in P.L. 113â76 and reappropriated an equal amount with an extended period of availability. The 2016 Budget proposes to
         cancel $1,750 million from the one-year funds advance appropriated for 2016 in P.L. 113â235 and reappropriate an equal amount
         for 2016 with an extended period of availability.2The requested advance appropriation for the General Services Administration will be fully offset in 2017 by collections in
         the Federal Buildings Fund.3The 2016 request includes a 2018 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.4These amounts are net of the $108 million in savings for Compensation and Pension and $21 million in savings for Readjustment
         Benefits that will result from enactment of authorizing legislation that is proposed as part of the 2016  Budget.
