  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, Office of the Speaker, U.S. Capitol, House of 
         Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: To facilitate 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 January 19, 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

[[Page H178]]

     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.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Paul Ryan,
                                                         Chairman.

  of the President's Budgetary Proposals for Fiscal Year 2012, published

  levels for enacted legislation.

       Outlays for FY 2012 are above the appropriate levels set by

                                REVENUE

       Revenue for FY 2012 is below the appropriate levels set by

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, January 25, 2012.
     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 January 19, 2012. 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 December 16, 2011, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following acts 
     that affect budget authority, outlays, and revenues for 
     fiscal year 2012:
       Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74);
       Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-
     77);
       Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (Public 
     Law 112-78); and
       An act to amend title 39, United States Code, to extend the 
     authority of the United States Postal Service to issue a 
     semipostal to raise funds for breast cancer research (Public 
     Law 112-80).
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.
