          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 2020 appropriations acts will become available for programs in 2021 or beyond. Since
                these appropriations are not available until after 2020, the amounts will not be included in the 2020 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 2018 or will request, in 2020,
                advance appropriations for 2021 and beyond and cites the applicable authorizing statute.

              The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (Division C of Public Law 115–245, as amended), which was in place for the Department
                of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at the time the Budget was prepared, does not explicitly address advance appropriations
                for 2020. As a result, this Budget, as illustrated by the accompanying table, assumes a full-year continuing resolution for
                HUD will be enacted and that specific legislative anomaly language will be included to make 2020 advance appropriations available.
                This is in order to ensure comparability with annual funding provided under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019, and to
                depict accurately the 2020 discretionary request levels compared to the discretionary budget authority caps enacted in the
                Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.  The Budget assumes that the 2020 level that would
                be enacted in the legislative anomaly for discretionary appropriations for HUD is equal to the 2019 advance appropriations
                that were enacted for HUD in the 2018 appropriations acts.

             For additional information on advance appropriations, please refer to the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives
                volume.

             1 Historically, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is provided a two-year advance appropriation. The 2020 request does
             not include any advance appropriations for the Corporation in 2022.2The 2021 amounts are net of the $614 million in savings for Compensation and Pension and $29 million in savings for Readjustment
             Benefits that will result from enactment of authorizing legislation that is proposed as part of the 2020 President's Budget.
