This revolving fund provides for real property management and related activities, including operation, maintenance, and repair
of federally owned buildings, and the construction of Federal buildings, courthouses, and land ports of entry. Expenses of
the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) are financed from rental charges assessed to occupants of General Services Administration
(GSA)-controlled space. Rent assessments, by law, approximate commercial rates for comparable space and services. Rental income
is augmented by appropriations to the Fund when new construction needs exceed the resources available for investment within
the Fund.
The Budget requests $10,204 million in new obligational authority for the FBF. The Administration's proposal ensures that
GSA spends at least at the level of anticipated rent that it collects from Federal departments and agencies in order to provide
services to those customers.
Historically, the FBF has been permitted to spend at least what it collects from agencies to support leasing from the private
sector, as well as maintenance, repairs, major renovations, and new construction to accommodate agency needs in buildings
that GSA owns and operates. However, in several recent years, the FBF appropriations were significantly below the anticipated
level of rent collections from agencies, denying GSA the ability to pursue an appropriately-sized capital program relative
to the size of its portfolio. By restoring the principle that the FBF should be allowed to spend what it collects and pursuing
a robust capital program, the Administration hopes to accomplish a number of policy goals: avoiding larger, longer-term capital
costs associated with deferring maintenance of Federal facilities, improving efficiency at GSA-owned facilities, and realizing
a smaller Federal footprint through improved building utilization.

This account provides $10 billion to support a new Federal Capital Revolving Fund (FCRF) to finance federally-owned civilian
real property projects. A robust discussion of the FCRF can be found in the Budget Process chapter of the Analytical Perspectives volume.
In summary, the FCRF will create a mechanism that is similar to a capital budget but operates within the traditional rules
used for the Federal budget. Upon approval in an Appropriations Act, the revolving fund will transfer money to agencies to
finance large-dollar real property purchases. Executing agencies will then be required to repay the fund in 15 equal annual
amounts using discretionary appropriations.
As a result, purchases/construction/renovation of real property assets will no longer compete with annual operating and programmatic
expenses for the limited funding available under tight discretionary caps. Instead, agencies will pay for real property over
time as it is utilized. Repayments will be made from future appropriations, which will incentivize project selection based
on highest mission need and return on investment, including future cost avoidance. The repayments will also replenish the
revolving fund so that real property can continually be replaced as needed.
Asset Proceeds and Space Management Fund
For carrying out the purposes of the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 (Public Law 114–287), $31,000,000, to remain available until expended, to the Asset Proceeds and Space Management Fund.
Note.—A full-year 2019 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (Division C of P.L. 115–245, as amended).
The amounts included for 2019 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted for
public sale, to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their needs. Relocation and disposal is considered
when the benefit/cost ratio is at least 2:1. The sale of these valuable underutilized properties would provide significant
revenue to the Treasury and would far outweigh the relocation costs involved.
No appropriation is requested for this program in 2020. The General Services Administration will solicit relocation proposals
from agencies.

This mandatory appropriation provides for the efficient disposal of real property assets that no longer meet the needs of
landholding Federal agencies. Fees of auctioneers, brokers, appraisers, and environmental consultants; surveying costs; costs
of advertising; costs of environmental and historical preservation services; highest and best use of property studies; property
utilization studies; deed compliance inspections; and other disposal costs are paid out of receipts from disposals in each
year. GSA leverages the expertise of auctioneers and brokers familiar with local markets to accelerate the disposal of surplus
real property.

This permanent, indefinite appropriation provides for the detection and recovery of overpayments to carriers for Government
moves under rate and service agreements established by GSA or by other Federal agency transportation managers. Program expenses
are financed from overcharges collected from transportation service providers (TSPs) as a result of post payment audits that
examine the validity, propriety, and conformity of charges with the proper rate authority. Funds recovered in excess of expenses
are returned to the U.S Treasury.

The Acquisition Services Fund (ASF) is a full cost recovery revolving fund financing nearly all operations of the Federal
Acquisition Service (FAS). FAS also includes organizations that are funded out of the Operating Expense appropriation, the
Transportation Audits warrant, and the Federal Citizen Services Fund (FCSF). The ASF provides for the acquisition of information
technology (IT) solutions, telecommunications, motor vehicles, supplies, and a wide range of goods and services for Federal
agencies. This fund recovers costs through fees charged to Federal agencies for services rendered and commodities provided.
The ASF is authorized by section 321 of title 40, United States Code, which requires the Administrator to establish rates
to be charged to agencies receiving services that: 1) recover costs; and 2) provide for the cost and capital requirements
of the ASF. The ASF is authorized to retain earnings to cover the cost of replacing fleet vehicles (Replacement Cost Pricing),
maintain supply inventories adequate for customer needs, and fund anticipated operating needs specified by the Cost and Capital
Plan.
The ASF now consists of seven business portfolios:
Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS).—Assists agencies in making informed procurement decisions and serves as a center of acquisition excellence for the Federal
community. AAS provides acquisition, technical, and project management services related to information technology and professional
services at the best value.
General Supplies and Services (GS&S).—Provides partner agencies with general products such as furniture, office supplies, and hardware products. GS&S centralizes
acquisitions on behalf of the Government to strategically procure goods and services at reduced costs, while ensuring regulatory
compliance for partner agency procurements. This portfolio also provides personal property disposal services to partner agencies,
which are partially funded by the Operating Expenses appropriation.
Information Technology Category (ITC).—Makes available IT and telecommunications products and services to Federal, state and local agencies. ITC provides access
to IT services, hardware, software, telecommunications, and IT security services.
Office of Systems Management (OSM).—Standardizes, integrates, and streamlines the federal contract award process through electronic systems, while increasing
transparency and ensuring compliance with all applicable Federal acquisition regulations. OSM works across the Federal Government
with four governance committees and other external stakeholders in a multi-year effort to modernize 10 award systems essential
for doing business with the Federal Government, moving these systems into a single website. OSM also partners with FAS business
portfolios and GSA IT to coordinate FAS systems development efforts.
Professional Services & Human Capital Categories (PSHC).—Provides Federal agencies with professional and human capital services contract solutions, including payment solutions through
the GSA SmartPay program.
Technology Transformation Services (TTS).—Aims to transform the way Government agencies build, buy, and share technology. They use modern methodologies and technologies
to help Federal agencies improve the public's experience with the Government. TTS helps agencies make their services more
accessible, efficient, and effective by building, providing, and sharing technology applications, platforms, processes, personnel,
and software solutions to Federal agencies.
Travel, Transportation, and Logistics Categories (TTL).—Provides partner agencies with a broad scope of services which includes travel, transportation, and relocation services;
motor vehicle acquisition; and motor vehicle fleet leasing services.

The Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) is a full cost recovery fund that finances the transition of Federal agencies from
antiquated legacy IT systems to more effective, secure, and modern IT platforms. The National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91), Subtitle G—Modernizing Government Technology (MGT), Section 1078 established the TMF
and Technology Modernization Board (Board). The TMF is administered by GSA in accordance with recommendations made by the
inter-agency TMF Board established by the MGT Act. The Board is chaired by the Administrator of the Office of Electronic Government
and comprises six additional members, delineated in the Act, possessing expertise in information technology development, financial
management, cybersecurity and privacy, and acquisition.
In accordance with OMB guidance, the Board rigorously reviews agency modernization proposals and recommends select projects
for funding, including identifying opportunities to migrate multiple legacy systems to common platforms; ensuring prioritization
of projects with the greatest Government-wide impact and probability of success; and improvements to the security of critical
IT infrastructure. As funding is allocated to priority agency projects across the Federal Government, it is subsequently replenished
by agency repayments to the Fund for amounts transferred. This includes the cost of any services or work performed related
to the administration of the Fund, ensuring that the TMF is self-sustaining and can continue to support modernization projects
well beyond the initial infusions of capital. The GSA Administrator, in consultation with the Board and Director of OMB, is
responsible for continuous oversight of funded projects to ensure success, and that technical experts are paired with specific
projects on a reimbursable basis to help execute quickly and successfully. All funding will be provided in increments based
on agile development practices and subject to the achievement of planned project milestones.
Ultimately, retiring or modernizing vulnerable and inefficient legacy IT systems will not only make agencies more secure,
it will also save money. Absent immediate action, the cost to operate and maintain legacy systems will continue to grow, while
security vulnerabilities and other risks will remain unresolved. As a means of addressing these pressing challenges, the TMF
is an important step in changing the way the Federal Government manages its IT portfolio.
In its first year of operation, the Board has reviewed more than 30 Initial Project Proposals from Federal agencies totaling
over $400 million in requested funds and has approved seven modernization projects totaling $89 million in project awards.

This appropriation provides agency-wide audit, investigative, and inspection functions to identify and correct management
and administrative deficiencies within the General Services Administration (GSA), including conditions for existing or potential
instances of fraud, waste, and mismanagement. This audit function provides internal audit and contract audit services. Contract
audits provide professional advice to GSA contracting officials on accounting and financial matters relative to the negotiation,
award, administration, repricing, and settlement of contracts. Internal audits review and evaluate all facets of GSA operations
and programs, test internal control systems, and develop information to improve operating efficiencies and enhance customer
services. The investigative function provides for the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities involving
GSA programs, personnel, and operations. The inspection function supplements traditional audits and investigations by providing
systematic and independent assessments of the design, implementation, and/or results of GSA's operations, programs, or policies.

The President's Budget proposes the transfer of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Office of Inspector General
(OIG) to the General Services Administration Office of Inspector General. The proposal, contingent upon enactment of authorizing
legislation, envisions a consolidated Office of Inspector General with a total budgetary authority of $98 million.
This appropriation funds the OPM OIG's efforts to protect the integrity of OPM's programs and operations. The OPM OIG's audits,
investigations, evaluations, and administrative sanctions program serve to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.
The OPM OIG's 2020 Budget request reflects the proposed merger of OPM and the General Services Administration (GSA), consistent
with OMB's Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century: Reform Plan and Reorganization Recommendations.
The OPM OIG's Office of Audits conducts audits of OPM programs and operations. The Office of Audits issued 48 audit reports
in 2018, with questioned costs totaling over $109 million. The majority of the Office of Audits' work involves the Federal
Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), auditing the health insurance carriers and the pharmacy benefit managers that contract
with OPM. In addition, the Office of Audits focuses on other key OPM benefits programs, including the Federal retirement program,
the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program, the Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program, the Federal
Long Term Care Insurance Program, and the Federal Flexible Spending Accounts. The OPM OIG also conducts information systems
audits that cover general and application controls and security within OPM information systems and programs as well as OPM
contractor systems, such as those of FEHBP insurance carriers. One key project is to provide ongoing oversight of OPM's information
technology (IT) modernization efforts, including a data center consolidation and potential mainframe migrations. The OPM OIG's
longstanding expertise in these areas has been recognized and endorsed by the Congress. The OPM OIG's continued oversight
of this project is essential to the IT security posture of OPM, its systems, and the highly sensitive data contained in these
systems. The Office of Audits also conducts audits of OPM revolving fund programs and operations, and the Office of Audits
is responsible for the oversight of the OPM financial statement audit, which is conducted by an independent public accounting
firm.
The OPM OIG's Office of Investigations detects and investigates improper and illegal activities involving OPM programs, personnel,
and operations. The Office of Investigations is a statutory law enforcement organization, with the authority to carry firearms,
issue subpoenas, and to seek and execute both search and arrest warrants. In 2018, the OPM OIG's activities led to 65 arrests,
88 indictments/informations, and 54 criminal convictions, resulting in over $25 million in recoveries. In addition, the Office
of Investigations partnered with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and other Federal, state, and local law enforcement
agencies to investigate and collect fines, penalties, and forfeitures to the Federal Government totaling over $888 million.
Based on the evidence gathered during OPM OIG investigations, the Office of Investigations pursues appropriate remedies, including
referrals to the DOJ for criminal prosecutions or civil action, and/or referral to OPM or to the FEHBP Administrative Sanctions
program. The Office of Investigations also investigates allegations of fraud against OPM programs, such as the FEHBP, the
Civil Service and Federal Employees Retirement Systems, and the National Background Investigative Bureau (NBIB). When appropriate,
the Office of Investigations also conducts investigations of OPM internal operations and employee and contractor misconduct.
The OPM OIG's Office of Evaluations conducts nationwide studies of OPM programs from a broad, issue-based perspective, as
well as evaluations of specific areas of operation and matters of urgent concern. The Office of Evaluations conducts special
reviews in response to Congressional requests for studies or information that may require immediate attention and OPM management
requests for independent assessments. Evaluators in this office use a variety of methods and techniques to evaluate and assess
an OPM operation or concern to develop recommendations for OPM management, the Congress, and the public.
Finally, the OPM OIG FEHBP Administrative Sanctions program debars and suspends health care providers whose loss of licensure
or conduct may pose a health and safety risk to FEHBP enrollees and their families or a financial threat to the FEHBP. In
2018, the OPM OIG was responsible for 914 suspensions and debarments within the FEHBP.
In January 2014, the Congress passed the OPM IG Act (P.L. 113–80). This legislation has provided the necessary funding for
the OPM OIG to audit, investigate, and provide other oversight of the activities of the OPM revolving fund programs and operations.
Although NBIB will transfer to the Department of Defense, the OPM OIG will require continued funding from OPM's Revolving
Fund to ensure the continuity of law enforcement investigations of NBIB activities that began prior to the NBIB transition.
These investigations could include yet unreported criminal allegations involving OPM.

This appropriation supports the authorized activities of the Environmental Review Improvement Fund and the Federal Permitting
Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) established under Title XLI of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
(FAST) Act of 2015 (Public Law 114–94). The Permitting Council leads ongoing Government-wide efforts to modernize the Federal
environmental review and permitting process for major infrastructure projects and works with Federal agency partners to implement
and oversee adherence to the statutory requirements set forth in Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST-41).
FAST-41 is a voluntary program for large, complex infrastructure projects that provides oversight, strengthens cooperation
and communication among permitting agencies, enhances transparency for the project sponsor and other stakeholders, and emphasizes
concurrent permit processing for covered infrastructure projects. Projects receive these benefits without modifying or undermining
any underlying federal statutes or regulations, or the status of any mandatory reviews.

The Federal Citizen Services Fund (FCSF) enables public access and engagement with Government through an array of public and
agency facing products and programs. The FCSF initiatives helps individuals, businesses, other governments, and the media
to easily interact with Federal information, services, benefits, and business opportunities. The Fund supports agency facing
programs that drive Government-wide transformation efforts to secure digital Government through shared services, platforms
and solutions. The fund also provides technical expertise to agencies to improve their operations and ultimately, the public's
experience with Government in support of the President's Management Agenda and CAP Goals. FCSF supports extensive communities
of practice that drive adoption and improvement of digital services, and help agencies develop and share best practices and
training to address tactical needs. GSA will continue to use the FCSF to support Electronic Government initiatives that drive
innovation in Government operations and improve the transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal operations and

The Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) mission is to lead and serve the Federal Government in enterprise human resources
management by delivering policies and services to achieve a trusted, effective civilian workforce. OPM will lead the way in
making the Federal Government the model employer by being the model agency in implementing best practices, leading by example,
and becoming the change we want to see. The 2020 Budget will enable OPM to integrate with the General Services Administration
while continuing to support Federal agencies in a manner that furthers merit-based system principles and administers employee
benefit programs for Federal employees.
The functions and objectives of OPM's major organizations are:
Employee Services.—Develops human resource (HR) policies for Executive Branch agencies and provides policy direction and leadership in designing,
developing, and promulgating Government-wide HR systems and programs for recruitment, staffing, classification, pay, leave,
training, performance management and recognition, employee development, management of executive resources, work/life/wellness
programs, and labor and employee relations.
Merit System Accountability and Compliance.—Ensures Federal agency HR programs are effective, efficient, and meet merit system principles and related civil service
requirements by working directly with other Federal agency Chief Human Capital Officers, Accountability Program Managers,
HR managers and specialists. It improves agency programs that are not in compliance with Federal HR policies and regulation;
and improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the agency programs to meet agency mission and objectives.
Retirement Services Program.—Administers the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees Retirement System, serving Federal retirees and
survivors who receive monthly annuity payments. Retirement Services Program will continue to focus on making initial eligibility
determinations, adjudicating new retirements, initiating survivor benefit payments, and calculating post retirement changes
due to disability and death.
Healthcare & Insurance.—Administers the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program, the Federal
Flexible Spending Account Program, the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program, and the Federal Employee Dental and Vision
Insurance Program. These programs provide a complete suite of insurance benefits for more than eight million Federal employees,
retirees, and their families. Healthcare and Insurance is also responsible for implementing and overseeing the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act's Multi-State Plan Options.

Government Payment for Annuitants, Employees Health Benefits
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
The President's 2020 Budget includes a package of proposals that will improve program efficiency, introduce more accountability
and increase competition and choice: 1) Medical Liability Reform would potentially reduce the costs of medical liability and
lower insurance premiums of the Federal Employee Health Benefit (FEHB) Program; and 2) modifying the Federal Government contribution
rate for premiums to base it on a plan's score from the FEHB Plan Performance Assessment would improve healthcare quality
and affordability within the program. The enactment of the proposals in 2020 will not begin to impact program financials until
2022.

The Payment to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund consists of an appropriation and a permanent indefinite authorization
to pay the Government's share of retirement costs. The payment is made directly from the general fund of the U.S. Treasury
into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and is in addition to appropriated funds that will be contributed from
agency budgets.
Current Appropriation Payment of Government share of retirement costs.—The Civil Service Retirement Amendments of 1969 provides for an annual appropriation to amortize, over a 30-year period,
all increases in Civil Service Retirement System costs resulting from acts of the Congress granting new or liberalized benefits,
extensions of coverage, or pay raises, exclusive of the effects of cost-of-living adjustments. The Office of Personnel Management
notifies the Secretary of the Treasury each year of such sums as may be necessary to carry out these provisions.
Permanent Indefinite Authorization.—Transfers for interest on static unfunded liability and payment of military service annuities. The Civil Service Retirement
Amendments of 1969 also provides permanent, indefinite authorization for the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer, on an
annual basis, an amount equal to five percent interest on the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund's current statutory
unfunded liability, calculated based on static economic assumptions, and annuity disbursements attributable to credit for
military service.
Payments for Spouse Equity.—The permanent, indefinite authorization also includes a payment which provides for the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer
an amount equal to the annuities granted to eligible former spouses of annuitants who died between September 1978 and May
1985 who did not elect survivor coverage.
Financing.—The unfunded liability of new and increased annuity benefits becoming effective on or after October 20, 1969, and annuities
under special Acts to be credited to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, may be paid out of the Civil Service
Retirement and Disability Fund.

This account contains reserve resources required under the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) contract with the administrator
of the Flexible Benefits program. This account is funded by payments from Federal agencies based on the participation of their
employees in the program and from net forfeitures, as authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2004 (P.L. 108–136). Account assets are available to indemnify the administrator when benefit payments exceed contributions,
for program enhancements, and for OPM's administration of the program. The reserve account balance currently exceeds that
deemed necessary to defray reasonable risk, so account balances are also being used to mitigate Federal agencies' contractual
costs for the program. Cost mitigation is projected to continue at least through 2020.

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (P.L. 109–435) created the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund to help
fully fund the United States Postal Service's (USPS) retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities.
This account receives from USPS: 1) the pension savings provided to USPS by the Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding
Reform Act of 2003 (P.L. 108–18) that were held in escrow during 2006; 2) payments defined within Public Law 109–435, and
modified by Public Law 111–68, to begin the liquidation of USPS's unfunded liability for post-retirement health benefits;
and 3) beginning in 2017, payments for the actuarial cost of USPS contributions for the post-retirement health benefits for
its current employees. This account also receives any surplus resources of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund
that are not needed to finance future retirement benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System to current or former employees
of USPS that are attributable to civilian employment with USPS.
As a result of this health benefits financing system, beginning in 2017, USPS ceased to pay annual premium costs for its post-1971
current annuitants directly to the Employees and Retired Employees Health Benefits Fund. Instead, these premium payments are
paid from balances of this account. Payments for a proportion of the premium costs of USPS annuitants' pre-1971 service continues
to be paid by the general fund of the Treasury through the Government Payment for Annuitants, Employees Health Benefits account.
Under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, USPS was required to make a stream of payments set in statute through
2016 toward paying down retiree health benefit unfunded liabilities, as well as pay annual Federal Employees Health Benefits
Program premiums for current retirees. Also under current law, starting in 2017, USPS must pay the per capita accruing costs
(or normal cost) to fund future retiree health benefits of current employees and a 40-year amortization of the remaining unfunded
liability for current retirees. The Budget reflects that USPS defaulted on the statutorily required payments since 2012. These
defaults are not factored into the 40-year amortization schedule starting in 2017, but remain on USPS's financial statements
in each year as outstanding liabilities. The 2020 Budget assumes USPS will continue to default on the statutorily required
amortization payments in 2019 and beyond, as well as not financing the per capita accruing cost.
Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
Outlays from the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund would decrease under proposals in the 2020 Budget that impact
the cost and cost sharing structure of health insurance in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). If these
proposals are enacted in 2020, they will begin to financially impact the FEHBP, and thus the Postal Service Retiree Health
Benefits Fund in 2022.

Budget Program.—The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is authorized to use revolving funds without fiscal year limitations to conduct investigations,
training, and other functions that OPM is authorized or required to perform on a reimbursable basis. OPM operates several
programs, which are funded by fees or reimbursement payments collected from other agencies and other payments. These currently
include the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB), which operates OPM's background investigations program, and
the Human Resources Solutions (HRS), under which OPM provides services, either directly or through private sector partners,
on various human resources issues. The following programs are currently authorized to use revolving funds: National Background
Investigations Bureau (NBIB), Suitability Executive Agent (SuitEA), Human Resources Solutions (HRS)—including USAJOBS, Enterprise
Human Resources Data Warehouse (EHRD), Human Resources Line of Business (HRLoB), and Human Resources Tools and Technology
(HRTT).
National Background Investigations Bureau.—NBIB provides personnel background investigative services on a fee-for-service basis to assist its Federal agency customers
in determining individuals' suitability and fitness for Federal civilian, military, and contract employment, eligibility for
logical and physical access to agency systems and facilities, and eligibility for access to classified national security information
or to hold a national security sensitive position. Effective in 2020, NBIB will move from OPM to the Department of Defense
(DOD). The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2018 (P.L. 115–91), section 925, stated that the Secretary
of Defense has the authority to conduct all types of background investigations for DOD personnel and mandated that, not later
than October 1, 2020, the Secretary of Defense shall commence carrying out its background investigations implementation plan
developed pursuant to 951(a)(1) of the 2017 NDAA (P.L. 114–328). In June 2018, the Administration released Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century: Reform Plan and Reorganization Recommendations, which identified its intent to keep the NBIB background investigation mission together, subsequently realigning the entire
program from OPM to DOD. OPM, DOD, and NBIB, among other stakeholders, are working collaboratively to ensure continued efficient
and effective delivery of high quality background investigation products and services to the Federal Government during the
move from OPM to DOD. In 2020, financial activity of NBIB in this account represents work performed to complete investigation
requests received prior to October 1, 2019.
Suitability Executive Agent.—SuitEA was established as a distinct program office within OPM in December 2016 to strengthen the effectiveness of suitability
vetting across the Government by providing a focal point within OPM for leadership, process improvement, and modernization
while continuing to perform adjudicative operations benefiting Federal agencies. SuitEA carries out its responsibilities through
a policy office responsible for business transformation and modernization of the Government-wide suitability program, supported
by an adjudicative operations staff that takes Government-wide action to promote the efficiency and protect the integrity
of Federal agencies' operations, and an oversight team that conducts assessments of Federal agencies' performance and makes
recommendations for improvement. SuitEA will continue to work with the Performance Accountability Council and the Office of
the Director of National Intelligence as the Security Executive Agent to enhance standards for suitability, fitness, and credentialing
(SSC) vetting. SuitEA also develops and offers reimbursable, suitability training programs that are compliant with the National
Training Standards for Suitability Adjudicators. SuitEA operates a suitability hotline and email box to provide customer support
on technical and interpretative matters related to suitability. As the background investigation systems are rebuilt or built
new by the Department of Defense, and OPM enhances or builds out Human Resource systems, SuitEA will provide requirements
to meet the needs of SSC programs, promote accessibility to shared service offerings and improve information flow to meet
the needs of Federal agencies. SuitEA does not anticipate that any of the afore-mentioned activities will cease due to the
move of NBIB-related work to the Department of Defense. These activities and functions will continue to be necessary in 2020
to carry out the responsibilities of the Suitability Executive Agent.
Human Resources Solutions.—HRS is a reimbursable services organization offering a complete range of tailored and standardized human resources products
and services designed to meet the unique and dynamic needs of the Federal Government. HRS directly supports OPM's charge of
ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce via "by Government, for Government" human capital solutions.
HRS will continue to provide customer agencies with innovative and competitive, high quality Government-to-Government solutions
designed to assist them in attracting and building a high quality public sector workforce, developing effectual leaders and
achieving sustainable results. USAJOBS is now located within HRS. The technology and program operation USAJOBS offers Federal
agencies and job seekers is a modern platform to support online recruitment, marketing, and a job application solution. HRS
plans to complete the USA Staffing upgrade transition. With 99 percent of all job announcements being posted to the new system,
only a handful of unique hiring processes operate under the legacy system, and plans are under way to migrate those processes
to the new system. HRS is comprised of five program areas operating under two major reimbursable offerings (Government provided
and third-party contractor). These program areas are as follows: the Center for Leadership Development, the Federal Staffing
Center, HR Strategy and Evaluation Solutions, Human Capital Industry Solutions, and the Center for Management Services (HRS
Support Programs).
The Human Resources Tools and Technology Program Management Office (HRS IT PMO or PMO) provides technology support in the
form of information technology (IT) systems development and hosting, supplying both internal and external customers a wide
variety of information technology services in the human resources arena. The PMO is comprised of lines of business (LOBs)
including OPM's Human Resources Solutions, Employee Self Service Systems, and other HRIT and Hosting Support. All of its lines
of business contain IT systems that span the HR life cycle and allow the program to sustain itself financially.
HRLOB provides an essential leadership role in the consolidation of agency personnel action processing, benefits management,
and payroll systems into HRLOB Shared Service Centers.
The EHRD is comprised of two programs, the electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) and the Enterprise Human Resources
Integration Data Warehouse (EHRIDW). These two programs support the E-Government initiative designed to leverage the benefits
of information technology. The goal of these two programs is to streamline and automate the collection, aggregation, and sharing
of Federal employee HR, payroll, and training information Government-wide. The investment broadly supports the OPM mission
by enabling the agency to provide the Federal HR community with access to employee data to improve workforce planning for
hiring, skills development, retention strategies and Government-wide policy.
Inspector General Activities.—The OPM IG Act (the Act) (P.L. 113–80) extends permitted uses of the Revolving Fund to include financing the cost of audits,
investigations, and oversight activities of OPM's Office of the Inspector General. The Act limits the amount of revolving
fund resources available to the Office of the Inspector General each year to 0.33 percent of the total budgetary authority
estimated for the fund in the year.
Financing.—OPM's Revolving Fund account gains spending authority from agreements with other Federal agencies who are seeking the following
services: HRS provides a multitude of HR services to other Federal agencies, which include consulting services, training,
staffing programs, vendor management, and administrative law judge services. Individual pricing and fee structures for HRS
offerings differ because the business models for each of its products and services vary. NBIB offers its Federal customers
investigations based on five tiers with an Expandable Focused Investigation model at each tier. The newly established tiered
approach increases transparency and clarity into the type of investigation being completed. The price of each type of investigation
varies based on the estimated fieldwork and time it will take to complete. Prices are determined and justified using a cost
allocation model. The significant cost drivers that impact pricing considerations include Federal and contracted investigative
fieldwork, third-party search fees, the accuracy of workload projections, policy changes, and major infrastructure upgrades.
SuitEA and CredEA funding is factored into NBIB pricing and budgeted by the background investigation customers. EHRD provides
two primary service offerings on a fee-for-service basis: the eOPF, including deployment and hosting services, and a suite
of analytical tools enabling agencies to perform workforce analysis and forecasting. EHRD provides customized eOPF systems
to other agencies at additional cost, in which the customer pays for ongoing eOPF maintenance. The pricing structure for eOPF
maintenance is a fixed price per license (i.e., electronic folder) and is based on the number of active users at the customer
agency. The HRLOB has established public and private Shared Service Centers to provide technology solutions to support multiple
agencies with HR IT and HR services and is financed in part by agency contributions from partner agencies.
Operating Results.—In 2018, OPM's Revolving Fund businesses revenue total was $1.862 billion and the expenses total was $1.595 billion which
provided a net gain on operations of $268 million. The cumulative net position of the fund is a positive $440 million.

The Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) is the oldest and largest of the four trust funds administered by
the Office of Personnel Management. The fund is financed and structured very differently from the other three trust funds.
It is characterized by permanent indefinite budget authority. Budget authority is the authority to incur obligations and pay
expenses which become available to an agency during any fiscal year. Once approved, permanent budget authority is permanently
available for all future years. Indefinite budget authority is used when the precise amount of budget authority required cannot
be forecast in advance and must thus be determined at some future point in time (e.g., when actual receipts and expenses become
known).
The CSRDF covers two Federal civilian retirement systems: the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) established on May 22,
1920, and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) established on June 6, 1986. The Retirement Fund is a single plan
even though there are two different benefit tiers and funding methods. CSRS is largely a defined benefit plan, covering Federal
employees hired prior to 1984. CSRS participants do not participate in the Social Security system. FERS is a three-tiered
pension program that uses Social Security as a base, provides an additional basic benefit, and includes the Thrift Savings
Plan (TSP). FERS covers employees hired after 1983 and formerly CSRS-covered employees who elected to join FERS.
The Budget proposes that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) continue to fund the full retirement benefits
cost for PTO's employees covered under CSRS.
Financing.— CSRS has been financed under a statutory funding method passed by the Congress in 1969. This funding method is based on
the static economic assumptions of no future inflation, no future General Schedule salary increases, and a 5.0 percent interest
rate. Under CSRS, regular employees contribute 7.0 percent of pay. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and congressional
employees contribute an extra 0.5 percent of pay, and members of the Congress an extra 1.0 percent of pay. Non-United States
Postal Service (USPS) agencies match the employee contributions. Also under the static funding method for CSRS, the Treasury
pays interest on any static unfunded liabilities that are not being financed by USPS. The Treasury also makes payments to
amortize, over a 30-year period, any increases in the static unfunded liability due to salary increases for non-USPS (non-Postal)
employees that occurred during the year, and pays for the cost of any benefits attributable to military service for both Postal
and non-Postal employees that were paid out during the year.
FERS is funded under a dynamic entry age normal funding method. Employees and agencies together contribute the full amount
of the dynamic normal cost rate. The normal cost rate is for the defined benefit plan only, and does not include the cost
of Social Security or the TSP. FERS regular employees contribute a percentage of salary that is equal to the contribution
rate for CSRS employees—7.0 percent, as set forth above, less the 6.2 percent tax rate under the Old-Age, Survivors and Disability
Insurance portion of Social Security. Under FERS, the dynamic normal cost rates are as follows: for regular employees hired
before 2013, the rate is 14.5 percent of pay (employee's share of 0.8 percent and employer's share of 13.7 percent); for regular
employees hired during 2013 (known as FERS RAE/Revised Annuity Employee), the rate is 15.0 percent of pay (employee's share
of 3.1 percent and employer's share of 11.9 percent); the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 included a provision to increase the
normal cost rate of employee's contribution to FERS for individuals hired after 2013 and to maintain the employer's contribution
rate at its current normal cost rate. Any contributions in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy FERS normal cost percentage
will be credited to the assets of the fund, thereby reducing the unfunded liability. For regular employees hired after 2013
(known as FERS FRAE/Further Revised Annuity Employee), the rate is 15.1 percent of pay (employee's share of 4.4 percent and
employer's share of 11.9 percent).
Effective in 2020, there will be a change in the normal cost rates for Postal FERS Employee/Employer Contributions and non-Postal
FERS Employer Contributions. The Board of Actuaries met on June 1, 2017, and recommended subsequent changes to the actuarial
economic assumptions for non-Postal agencies, and due to revised regulation, established a separate demographic, economic
assumptions for USPS. For regular FERS non-Postal employees (other than RAE and FRAE), the normal cost rate will be 16.8 percent
of pay (employee's share, 0.8 percent, and employer's share, 16.0 percent). Regular FERS Postal employees will be 15.5 percent
of pay (employee's share, 0.8 percent, and employer's share, 14.7 percent). For FERS RAE non-Postal employees, the normal
cost rate will be 17.3 percent of pay (employee's share, 3.1 percent, and employer's share, 14.2 percent). FERS RAE Postal
employees will be 15.9 percent of pay (employee's share, 3.1 percent, and employer's share, 12.8 percent). For FERS FRAE non-Postal
employees, the normal cost rate will be 17.5 percent of pay (employee's share, 4.4 percent, employer's share, 14.2 percent,
and excess of 1.1 percent). FERS FRAE Postal employees will be 16.1 percent of pay (employee's share, 4.4 percent, and employer's
share, 11.7 percent).
Under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (P.L. 109–435), USPS must make annual amortization payments beginning
in 2017 to reduce any unfunded liability (UFL) for its obligations under CSRS. These payments, along with similar amortization
payments for UFL in FERS are paid to CSRDF.

The 2020 Budget proposes four legislative changes to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) generating Government-wide
savings: 1) utilize a high-5 average salary instead of a high-3 in the computation of new Federal Employees Retirement System
(FERS) annuities; 2) eliminate the special annuity supplement for new FERS retirees who do not meet the Social Security minimum
retirement age; 3) eliminate the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for FERS retirees and reduce the COLA for Civil Service
Retirement System retirees by 0.5 percent; and 4) equalize the employee and employer share of contributions to FERS, changing
contribution rates by one percent per year until contributions from the employer and employee shares combined reach the normal
cost level. If enacted, these changes would reduce the amount of outlays from the CSRDF for annuity payments, and transfer
more of the cost of financing these benefits to employees. In addition, the Budget proposes to provide new Federal term employees
with a more generous TSP defined contribution plan, in lieu of participation in the FERS defined benefit plan.

This display combines the Federal Employees Health Benefit (FEHB) fund and the Retired Employees Health Benefits (REHB) fund.
The FEHB fund provides for the cost of health benefits for: 1) active employees; 2) employees who retired after June 1960,
or their survivors; 3) annuitants transferred from the REHB fund as authorized by Public Law 93–246; and 4) tribal organizations.
The REHB fund, created by the Retired Federal Employees Health Benefits Act of 1960, provides for: 1) the cost of health benefits
for retired employees and survivors who were enrolled in a Government-sponsored uniform health benefits plan; 2) the contribution
to retired employees and survivors who retain or purchase private health insurance; and 3) expenses of the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) in administering the program.
Budget program.—The balance of the FEHB fund is available for payments without fiscal year limitation. Numbers of participants at the end
of each fiscal year are as follows:

In determining a biweekly subscription rate to cover program costs, one percent is added for administrative expenses and three
percent is added for a contingency reserve held by OPM for each carrier. OPM is authorized to transfer unused administrative
reserve funds to the contingency reserve. The REHB fund is available without fiscal year limitation. The amounts contributed
by the Government are paid into the fund from annual appropriations. The number of participants at the end of each fiscal
year are as follows:

Financing.—The funds are financed by: 1) withholdings from active employees and annuitants; 2) agency contributions for active employees;
3) Government contributions for annuitants appropriated to OPM; and 4) contributions made by the United States Postal Service
in accordance with the provisions of Public Law 101–508. Funds made available to carriers but not used to pay claims in the
current period are carried forward as special reserves for use in subsequent periods. OPM maintains a contingency reserve,
funded by employee and Government contributions, which may be used to defray future cost increases or provide increased benefits.
OPM makes payments to carriers from this reserve whenever carrier-held reserves fall below levels prescribed by OPM regulations
or when carriers can demonstrate good cause such as unexpected claims experience or variations from expected community rates.
The Budget proposes that the United States Patent and Trademark Office continue to fund the accruing costs associated with
post-retirement health benefits for its employees.
Employees and Retired Employees Health Benefits Fund
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
The 2020 Budget includes a package of proposals that will improve program efficiency, introduce more accountability and increase
competition and choice: 1) Medical Liability Reform would potentially reduce the costs of medical liability and lower insurance
premiums of the Federal Employee Health Benefit (FEHB) Program; and 2) modifying the Federal Government contribution rate
for premiums to base it on a plan's score from the FEHB Plan Performance Assessment would improve healthcare quality and affordability
within the program. The enactment of the proposals in 2020 will not begin to impact program financials until 2022.
