 Supplemental Report--Report Pursuant to Section 1014(c) of Public Law 
                                 93-344

       This report updates Deferral No. D96-2, which was 
     transmitted to Congress on October 19, 1995.
       This revision increases by $44,285 the previous deferral of 
     $7,320,543 in the Limitation on administrative expenses, 
     Social Security Administration, resulting in a total deferral 
     of $7,364,828. This increase results from the deferral of 
     additional carryover of funds from FY 1995 that cannot be 
     used in FY 1996.

                      Deferral of Budget Authority


             report pursuant to section 1013 of p.l. 93-344

       Appropriation title and symbol: Limitation on 
     administrative expenses \1\ 75X8704.

     \1\ This account was the subject of a similar deferral in FY 
     1995 (D95-6A).

       OMB identification code: 20-8007-0-7-651.
       Grant program: No.
       Type of account or fund: No-Year.

      Total budgetary resources.........................\2\ 428,623,563
Amount to be deferred: Entire year........................\2\ 7,364,828

     \2\ Revised from previous report.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Legal authority (in addition to sec. 1013): Antideficiency 
     Act.
       Type of budget authority: Appropriation.
       Justification: This account includes funding for 
     construction, renovation, and expansion of Social Security 
     Trust Fund-owned headquarters and field office buildings. In 
     addition, funds remain available for costs associated with 
     acquisition of land in Colonial Park Estates adjacent to the 
     Social Security Administration complex in Baltimore, 
     Maryland. The Social Security Administration has received an 
     approved FY 1996 apportionment for $50,000 to cover potential 
     upward adjustments of prior-year costs related to field 
     office roof repair and replacement projects. The remaining 
     funds will not be needed for obligation in FY 1996. This 
     deferral reflects the actual amount available for 
     construction in FY 1996, less than $50,000 apportioned for 
     potential upward adjustments in FY 1996. This action is taken 
     pursuant to the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1512).
       Estimated program effect: None.
       Outlay effect: None.
