  Status Report on Current Spending Levels of on-Budget Spending and 
   Revenues for FY 2012 and The 5-Year Period FY 2012 Through FY 2021

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. 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 October 4, 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.

     Res. 287. The current level for FY2012 starts with the 
     baseline estimates contained in An Analysis of the 
     President's Budgetary Proposals for Fiscal Year 2012, 
     published by the Congressional Budget Office, and makes 
     adjustments to those levels for enacted legislation.

     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 October 4, 2011. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the

     H. Con. Res. 34, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2012, as approved by the House of 
     Representatives.
       This is CBO's first current level report for fiscal year 
     2012.
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf.
