         OMB'S FINAL SEQUESTRATION REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013




 August 2, 2013.-- Referred to the Committee on the Whole House on the 
              State of the Union and ordered to be printed
                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                     Washington, DC, April 9, 2013.
Hon. John A. Boehner,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Enclosed please find the OMB Final 
Sequestration Report to the President and Congress for Fiscal 
Year 2013. It has been prepared pursuant to section 254 of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 
(BBEDCA), as amended.
    As required by law, the report provides current estimates 
of the discretionary spending limits for each category in 
BBEDCA, the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) scoring of 
the enacted 2013 discretionary appropriations bills compared to 
those limits, and comparisons with the estimates provided by 
the Congressional Budget Office in its Final Sequestration 
Report for Fiscal Year 2013.
    As noted in my letter of March 27, 2013, OMB has evaluated 
whether spending reductions (known as ``sequestration'') 
pursuant to section 251 of BBEDCA are required for fiscal year 
2013. This concerns a sequestration that is distinct from the 
Joint Committee sequestration pursuant to Section 251A of 
BBEDCA. Based on the estimates in this report, which are 
consistent with the determinations in my letter of March 27, 
enacted appropriations are within the discretionary spending 
limits for 2013, and a sequestration of discretionary budget 
authority pursuant to section 251 of BBEDCA is not required.
            Sincerely,
                                         Jeffrey D. Zients,
                                                   Acting Director.
    Enclosure.
