BUDGETARY REVISIONS
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 establishes statutory limits on
discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to those
limits, while section 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 allows the chairman of the Budget Committee to establish and make
revisions to allocation, aggregates, and levels consistent with those
adjustments. Today, the Senate passed
[[Page S7044]]
H.R. 719, the TSA Office of Inspection Accountability Act of 2015, with
Senate amendment 2689, the continuing resolution. This measure included
a provision providing $700 million to the wildland fire management
account for the U.S. Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture
that was designated as emergency funding pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985.
The inclusion of this designation makes this spending eligible for an
adjustment under the Congressional Budget Act.
As a result, I am revising the budgetary aggregate for 2016 by $700
million in budget authority and $700 million in outlays. I am also
revising the 2016 allocations for budget authority and outlays to the
Appropriations Committee by $700 million in budget authority for the
revised nonsecurity category and $700 million in outlays.
I ask unanimous consent that this notice and the accompanying tables,
which provide details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
