The White House
Washington, April 14, 2015.
Hon. John Boehner,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the
enclosed Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 budget amendments for the
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services,
Homeland Security, the Interior, Justice, State, and
Transportation, as well as the General Services Administration,
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Small Business
Administration, and the Social Security Administration. These
amendments are fully offset and do not change the overall
discretionary budget authority. These amendments are necessary
to reflect correctly policies assumed in my FY 2016 Budget.
This transmittal also includes FY 2016 budget amendments
for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and
tradition, these appropriations requests for the Legislative
Branch are transmitted without change. These amendments
decrease by $2.7 million the overall discretionary budget
authority in my FY 2016 Budget.
In addition, the Inspector General for the Environmental
Protection Agency has concluded that the Budget's request for
the Office of Inspector General ``would substantially inhibit
the Inspector General from performing the duties of the
office'' under section 6(f)(3)(E) of the Inspector General Act
of 1978 (the ``Act''). These comments were included in the
Agency's congressional justification materials, but were not
received in time to be included in my FY 2016 Budget document.
This letter constitutes transmittal of the concern pursuant to
the Act.
The details of these amendments are set forth in the
enclosure from the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
Enclosure.
[Estimate No. 1, 114th Congress, 1st Session]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, April 14, 2015.
The President,
The White House.
Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration are
amendments to your Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Budget for the
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services,
Homeland Security, the Interior, Justice, State, and
Transportation, as well as the General Services Administration,
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Small Business
Administration, and the Social Security Administration. These
amendments are fully offset and do not change the overall
discretionary budget authority. These amendments are necessary
to reflect correctly policies assumed in your FY 2016 Budget.
In a letter dated February 25, 2015, the Office of
Management and Budget provided advance notice to the Congress
of the aforementioned General Services Administration and
Department of Homeland Security amendments so that these
revisions could be considered before the Congressional Budget
Office completed its Reestimate of your Budget. With respect to
the General Services Administration, the proposed amendment
modifies the pending appropriation for the Major Repairs and
Alterations program to correctly reflect the requested amount.
With respect to the Department of Homeland Security, the
proposed amendment modifies a General Provision to appropriate
not more than $180 million of fees collected from passengers
arriving from Canada, Mexico, or an adjacent island, reflecting
estimates shown in the Budget.
This transmittal also includes FY 2016 budget amendments
for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and
tradition, these appropriations requests for the Legislative
Branch are transmitted without change. These amendments
decrease by $2.7 million the overall discretionary budget
authority in your FY 2016 Budget.
In addition, the Inspector General for the Environmental
Protection Agency has concluded that the Budget's request for
the Office of Inspector General ``would substantially inhibit
the Inspector General from performing the duties of the
office'' under section 6(f)(3)(E) of the Inspector General Act
of 1978 (``Act''). These comments were included in the Agency's
congressional justification materials, but were not received in
time to be included in your FY 2016 Budget documents. Your
Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
constitutes transmittal of the concern pursuant to the Act.
Recommendation
I have reviewed these amendments and I am satisfied that
they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads of
the affected Departments and agencies in recommending that you
transmit the amendments to the Congress.
Sincerely,
Shaun Donovan,
Director.

Coast Guard ``Operating Expenses'' account, notwithstanding the
provisions of section 2215 of title 10, United States Code
This amendment would insert language that was inadvertently
omitted from the Operation and Maintenance, Navy account. The
proposed language would provide for a permissive transfer from
this account to the U.S. Coast Guard for Overseas Contingency
Operations-related activities, and is consistent with the
policy assumed in the FY 2016 Budget.
The proposed FY 2016 Budget totals would not be affected by

U.S.C. 603(b)) as no-year, consistent with funding for this
purpose for prior years under the Protect Our Kids Act of 2012

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
GENERAL PROVISIONS
(SEC. 543)
FY 2016 Budget Appendix Page: 565
FY 2016 Pending Request: --
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --
(In the appropriations language under the above subheading,
delete ``amounts'' and substitute the following new language in
both subsections (1) and (2):)
discretionary appropriations
(In subsection (2), add the following new language immediately
after ``prior'' and just before ``Acts'':)
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
(In the second proviso, add the following new language
immediately after ``were'' and immediately before
``designated'':)
: (1) classified as being in the revised security category,
as defined under section 250(c)(4)(D) of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended (BBEDCA);
(2)
(In in the second proviso, delete ``the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended'' and
substitute with the following new language:)
BBEDCA; or (3) designated as being for disaster relief
pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D) of BBEDCA
This amendment would clarify the sources of funding for
transfer or reallocation to the Offshore Patrol Cutter, a Coast
Guard acquisition program. Section 543 provides the Secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to
make this transfer or reallocation of funds, and the amended
language would make clear that the sources of funding for this
purpose are confined to DHS discretionary appropriations that
are not classified as disaster relief, overseas contingency, or
revised security category (``defense'') funds. Without this
amendment, the language could be read in a manner broader than

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
GENERAL PROVISIONS
FY 2016 Budget Appendix Page: 565
FY 2016 Pending Request: --
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --
(In the appropriations language under the above heading, insert
at the end the following new section:)
Sec. 547
(a) Notwithstanding section 503 of this Act, amounts made
available by this Act for the Transportation Security
Administration may be reprogrammed within the ``Aviation
Security'' appropriation or transferred from ``Transportation
Security Support'' for obligations associated with private
screening contract awards made by the Screening Partnership
Program.
(b) The Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the
House of Representatives shall be notified of any realignment
described in subsection (a) within 10 days after such action.
This amendment would allow the Transportation Security
Agency (TSA) to reprogram funds within the Aviation Security
appropriation or transfer from Transportation Security Support
for obligations associated with private screening contract
awards made by the Screening Partnership Program, and to
subsequently notify the Committee of any realignment within 10
days of such action. Section 503 currently requires 15-day
advance congressional notification prior to reprogramming or
transfer of funds. The proposed language, which was
inadvertently omitted from the FY 2016 Budget, would streamline
this process for funds available for obligations associated
with private screening contract awards. This amendment is
necessary to reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY
2016 Budget.
The proposed FY 2016 Budget totals would not be affected by
this technical language amendment.

Revised Request: --
(In the appropriations language under the above heading, add
the following new language immediately before the concluding
period:)
: Provided, That amounts made available under this heading
may not be transferred pursuant to section 205 of this Act
This amendment would eliminate the authority to transfer
funds out of the Fees and Expenses of Witnesses account under
section 205, General Provisions--Department of Justice, in the
FY 2016 Budget. Without this amendment, five percent of the
mandatory funding provided to this account could be transferred
to other Department of Justice discretionary accounts.
The proposed FY 2016 Budget totals would not be affected by
this technical langunge amendment.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
Administration of Foreign Affairs

title 49 and section 5315 of title 5, United States Code, there
shall be an Assistant Secretary for Innovative Finance within
the Office of the Secretary as the head of the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Innovative Finance, appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate
This amendment would establish a new Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Innovative Finance within the
Department of Transportation that was inadvertently omitted.
This amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the policy
assumed in the FY 2016 Budget.

Proposed Amendment: Language

the heading ``Public Transportation Emergency Relief
Program'':)
(LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORITY)
(LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)
(TRANSPORTATION TRUST FUND)
Contingent upon enactment of multi-year surface
transportation authorization legislation, for the payment of

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in
(2)(A) delete ``$932,696,000'' and substitute $672,696,000.)
This amendment would reduce the amount designated for Major
Repairs and Alterations by $260,000,000. The FY 2016 Budget
inadvertently included an additional $260 million in the
request for Major Repairs and Alterations project funding in
the General Services Administration's Federal Buildings Fund.
The proposed amendment would modify the amounts to correctly
reflect $672,696,000 for Major Repair and Alterations. This
change would result in the total amounts in sections 2(A)
through (C) equaling $1,247,067,000, the designated total for
all repairs and alterations.

inadvertent error. The amended amount would reflect correctly
the requested program level assumed in the FY 2016 Budget.
The proposed FY 2016 Budget totals would not be affected by

Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --
