  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
  REVENUES FOR FY 2012 AND THE 10-YEAR PERIOD FY 2012 THROUGH FY 2021

     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: To facilitate the application of sections 
     302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, I am 
     transmitting an updated status report on the current levels 
     of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2012 and 
     for the 10-year period fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 
     2021. This status report is current through December 9, 2012.
       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 
     overall limits set in H. Con. Res. 34, the concurrent 
     resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2012. This 
     comparison is needed to implement section 311(a) of the 
     Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures 
     that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. 
     The table does not show budget authority and outlays for 
     years after fiscal year 2012 because appropriations for those 
     years have not yet been considered.
       The second table compares the current levels of budget 
     authority and outlays for action completed by each 
     authorizing committee with the ``section 302(a)'' allocations 
     made under H. Con. Res. 34 for fiscal year 2012 and fiscal 
     years 2012 through 2021. ``Action'' refers to legislation 
     enacted after the adoption of the budget resolution. This 
     comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the Budget 
     Act, which creates a point of order against measures that 
     would breach the section 302(a) allocation of new budget 
     authority for the committee that reported the measure. It is 
     also needed to implement section 311(b), which exempts 
     committees that comply with their allocations from the point 
     of order under section 311(a).
       The third table compares the current levels of 
     discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 2012 with the 
     ``section 302(b)'' suballocations of discretionary budget 
     authority and outlays among Appropriations subcommittees. The 
     comparison is also needed to enforce section 302(f) of the 
     Budget Act because the point of order under that section 
     equally applies to measures that would breach the applicable 
     section 302(b) suballocation.
       The fourth table gives the current level for fiscal year 
     2013 of accounts identified for advance appropriations under 
     section 402 of H. Con. Res. 34. This list is needed to 
     enforce section 402 of the budget resolution, which creates a 
     point of order against appropriation bills that contain 
     advance appropriations that are: (i) not identified in the 
     statement of managers or (ii) would cause the aggregate 
     amount of such appropriations to exceed the level specified 
     in the resolution.
       If you have any questions, please contact Paul Restuccia at 
     (202) 226-7270.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Paul Ryan,
                                                         Chairman.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, December 16, 2011.
     Hon. Paul Ryan,
     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 2012 budget and is 
     current through December 9, 2011. 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 
     H. Con. Res. 34, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2012, as approved by the House of 
     Representatives.
       Since my last letter dated November 2, 2011, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following acts 
     that affect budget authority, outlays, and revenues for 
     fiscal year 2012:
       An act to extend the Generalized System of Preferences, and 
     for other purposes (Public Law 112-40);
       United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act 
     (Public Law 112-41);
       United States-Columbia Trade Promotion Agreement 
     Implementation Act (Public Law 112-42);
       United-States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement 
     Implementation Act (Public Law 112-43);
       The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 
     2012 (Public Law 112-55); and
       An act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal 
     the imposition of 3 percent withholding . . . and for other 
     purposes (Public Law 112-56).
           Sincerely,
                                                Robert A. Sunshine
                             (For Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director).
       Enclosure.

\1\ P.L. 112-55 contains four divisions: Division A (the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
  Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012); Division B (Commerce, Justice, Science, and
  Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012); Division C (Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and
  Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012); and Division D (Further Continuing Appropriations, 2012), which
  provides funding through December 16, 2011, for programs in the remaining appropriation bills. The figures
  shown here for the continuing resolution are calculated on an annualized basis.
\2\ 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.
\3\ Periodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in H. Con. Res. 34, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:
