STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND REVENUES FOR 
FISCAL YEARS 2009 AND 2010 AND THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD FY 2010 THROUGH FY 
                                  2014

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spratt) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SPRATT. Madam Speaker, I am transmitting a status report on the 
current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal years 2009 
and 2010 and for the five-year period of fiscal years 2010 through 
2014. This report is necessary to facilitate the application of 
sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act and sections 424 
and 427 of S. Con. Res. 13, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
Fiscal Year 2010.
  The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and 
revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or 
awaiting the President's signature.
  The first table in the report compares the current levels of total 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the aggregate levels set 
by S. Con. Res. 13. This comparison is needed to enforce section 311(a) 
of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of order against any 
measure that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels.
  The second table compares the current levels of budget authority and 
outlays for each authorizing committee with the section 302(a) 
allocations made under S. Con. Res. 13 for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 
and fiscal years 2010 through 2014. This comparison is needed to 
enforce section 302(f) of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of 
order against any measure that would breach the section 302(a) 
discretionary action allocation of new budget authority for the 
committee that reported the measure.
  The third table compares the current levels of discretionary 
appropriations for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 with the section 302(a) 
allocation of discretionary budget authority and outlays to the 
Appropriations Committee. This comparison is needed to enforce section 
302(f) of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of order against 
any measure that would breach section 302(b) sub-allocations within the 
Appropriations Committee.
  The fourth table gives the current level for fiscal years 2011 and 
2012 for accounts identified for advance appropriations under section 
424 of S. Con. Res. 13. This list is needed to enforce section 424 of 
the budget resolution, which establishes a point of order against 
appropriations bills that include advance appropriations that: (1) are 
not identified in the joint statement of managers; or (2) would cause 
the aggregate amount of such appropriations to exceed the level 
specified in the resolution.

                            budget authority

       Enactment of measures providing new budget authority for FY 
     2010 in excess of $12,200 million (if not already included in 
     the current level estimate) would cause FY 2010 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by S. Con. Res. 
     13.


                                outlays

       Outlays for FY 2010 are above the appropriate levels set by 
     S. Con. Res. 13.


                                revenues

       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for FY 
     2010 excess of $20,345 million (if not already included in 
     the current level estimate) would cause revenues to fall 
     below the appropriate levels set by S. Con. Res. 13.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2010 through 2014 in excess of 
     $771,394 million (if not already included in the current 
     level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the 
     appropriate levels set by S. Con. Res. 13.

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, January 12, 2010.
     Hon. John M. Spratt, Jr.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2009 budget and is 
     current through September 30, 2009. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 13, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2010, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Pursuant to section 423(b) of S. Con. Res. 13, provisions 
     designated as emergency requirements are exempt from 
     enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes those amounts (see 
     footnote 2 of the report).
       Since my last letter dated September 10, 2009, the Congress 
     cleared and the President signed an act making appropriations 
     for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 2010, and for other purposes (Public Law 111-
     68). That legislation includes a provision related to the 
     Postal Service that affected budget authority and outlays for 
     fiscal year 2009 (see footnote 4 of the report).
       This is the final current level letter for fiscal year 
     2009.
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                         Director.

\1\ Includes the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-3), the American
  Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (P.L. 111-5), and the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-8),
  which were enacted by the Congress during this session, before the adoption of S. Con. Res. 13, the Concurrent
  Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. Although ARRA was designated as an emergency requirement, it is
  now included as part of the current level amounts.
\2\ Pursuant to section 423(b) of S. Con. Res, 13, provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt
  from enforcement of the budget resolution. The amounts so designated for fiscal year 2009, which are not
  included in the current level totals, are as follows:


 
                                                                      Budget
                                                                     authority        Outlays        Revenues
 
    Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-32).........          16,169           3,530           n.a.
 
\3\ Section 1 of P.L. 111-46 appropriated $7 billion to the Highway Trust Fund. The enactment of this
  legislation followed an announcement by the Secretary of Transportation on June 24, 2009, of an interim policy
  to slow down payments to states from the Highway Trust Fund. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that
  P.L. 111-46 reversed this policy and restored payments to states at levels already assumed in current level.
  Thus, enactment of section I results in no change to current level totals. Other provisions of the act reduced
  budget authority and outlays by $40 million in 2009.
\4\ Section 164 of Division B of P.L. 111-68 reduced the required transfer from the Postal Service Fund to the
  Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund for fiscal year 2009 by $4 billion. The transfer does not affect
  unified budget totals; however, since the Postal Service Fund is off-budget. and current level does not
  include off-budget amounts, only the on-budget piece of the transfer (an increase in spending of $4 billion)
  is shown in current level totals.
\5\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the budget resolution
  does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, current level
  excludes these items.
\6\ Periodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in S. Con Res. 13, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:


 
                                                                      Budget

\7\ S. Con. Res. 13 includes $7,150 million in budget authority and $1,788 million in outlays as a disaster
  allowance to recognize the potential cost of disasters; these funds will never be allocated to a committee. At
  the direction of the House Committee on the Budget, the budget resolution totals have been revised to exclude
  these amounts for purposes of enforcing current level.

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, January 12, 2010.
     Hon. John M. Spratt, Jr.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2010 budget and is 
     current through January 5, 2010. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 13, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2010, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Pursuant to section 423(b) of S. Con. Res. 13, provisions 
     designated as emergency requirements are exempt from 
     enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes those amounts (see 
     footnote 2 of the report).
       Since my last letter dated September 10, 2009, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following acts 
     that affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal 
     year 2010:
       An act making appropriations for the Legislative Branch for 
     the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and for other 
     purposes (Public Law 111-68);

     Act (Public Law 111-69);

       Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 
     (Public Law 111-83);
       National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 
     (Public Law 111-84);

     Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-85);

     Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 and Further Continuing 
     Appropriations, 2010 (Public Law 111-88);
       Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 
     (Public Law 111-92);
       An act to allow the funding for interoperable emergency 
     communication grants program (Public Law 111-96);
       No Social Security Benefits for Prisoners Act of 2009 
     (Public Law 111-115);
       Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117);

       An act to extend the Generalized System of Preferences and 
     the Andean Trade Preference Act, and for other purposes 
     (Public Law 111-124).
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                         Director.

\1\ Includes the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-3), the American
  Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (P.L. 111-5), and the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-8),
  which were enacted by the Congress during this session, before the adoption of S. Con. Res. 13, the Concurrent
  Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. Although ARRA was designated as an emergency requirement, it is
  now included as part of the current level amounts.
\2\ Pursuant to section 423(b) of S. Con. Res. 13, provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt
  from enforcement of the budget resolution. The amounts so designated for fiscal year 2010, which are not
  included in the current level totals, are as follows:


 
 
 
                                                                          Budget         Outlays        Revenues
                                                                       authority
                                                                 -----------------------------------------------
    Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-32).........              17           7,064            n.a.
    An act making supplemental appropriations for fiscal year                  0           2,000            n.a.
     2009 for the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save
     Program (P.L. 111-47)......................................
    Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-             12,025          11,976          -4,473
     118).......................................................
                                                                 -----------------------------------------------
        Total, emergency requirements enacted this session......          12,042          21,040         -4,473
 
\3\ The estimate for P.L. 111-46, an act to restore the Highway Trust Fund, and for other purposes, does not
  change current level totals. P.L. 111-46 appropriated $7 billion to the Highway Trust Fund. The enactment of
  this legislation followed an announcement by the Secretary of Transportation on June 24, 2009, of an interim
  policy to slow down payments to states from the Highway Trust Fund. The Congressional Budget Office estimates
  that P.L. 111-46 reversed this policy and will restore payments to states at levels already assumed in current
  level. Thus, no change is required.
\4\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the budget resolution
  does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, current level
  excludes these items.
\5\ Periodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in S. Con Rcs. 13, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:

\6\ S. Con. Res. 13 includes $10,350 million in budget authority and $5,448 million in outlays as a disaster
  allowance to recognize the potential cost of disasters; those funds will never be allocated to a committee. At
  the direction of the House Committee on the Budget, the budget resolution totals have been revised to exclude
  those amounts for purposes of enforcing current level.
