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 sections 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974 allow the chairman of the Budget Committee to establish and
make revisions to allocations, aggregates, and levels consistent with
those adjustments. The Senate will soon consider Senate amendment No.
3896, filed by Senator Collins. This amendment includes the
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2017, as reported by the Committee on
Appropriations. The amendment includes a provision related to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development's administrative costs for
disaster relief activities that results in $1 million in outlays. This
provision is designated as an emergency 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 increasing the budgetary aggregate for 2017 by $1
million in outlays. I am also increasing the
[[Page S2744]]
2017 allocation to the Appropriations Committee by $1 million in
outlays.
I ask unanimous consent that 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:
