  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
  REVENUES FOR FY 2015, AND THE 10-YEAR PERIOD FY 2015 THROUGH FY 2024

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                Washington, DC, November 17, 2014.
       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 
     years 2014, 2015, and for the 10-year period of fiscal year 
     2015 through fiscal year 2024. The report is current through 
     November 12, 2014. 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.
       Table 1 in the report compares the current levels of total 
     budget authority, outlays, and revenues for fiscal years 
     2014, 2015, and the 10-year period of fiscal year 2015 
     through 2024 to the overall limits filed in the Congressional 
     Record on January 27, 2014 for fiscal year 2014 and on April 
     29, 2014 for fiscal years 2015 and 2015-2024 as required by 
     the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. 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 2015 
     because appropriations for those years have not yet been 
     considered.
       Table 2 compares the current levels of budget authority and 
     outlays for action completed by each authorizing committee 
     with the ``section 302(a)'' allocations filed on January 27, 
     2014 for fiscal year 2014 and the allocations filed on April 
     29, 2014 for fiscal years 2015 and the 10-year period 2015 
     through 2024 as required by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
     2013. For fiscal year 2014, ``action'' refers to legislation 
     enacted after the adoption of the levels set forth on January 
     27, 2014. For fiscal years 2015 and the 10-year period 2015-
     2024, ``action'' refers to legislation enacted after the 
     adoption of the levels set forth on April 29, 2014.
       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).
       Tables 3 and 4 compare the current status of discretionary 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2014 and 2015 with the 
     ``section 302(b)'' sub-allocations of discretionary budget 
     authority and outlays among Appropriations subcommittees. The 
     comparison is 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) sub-allocation. The table also provides supplementary 
     information on spending in excess of the base discretionary 
     spending caps allowed under section 251(b) of the Budget 
     Control Act.
       Tables 5 and 6 give the current level for fiscal year 2015 
     and 2016, respectively, of accounts identified for advance 
     appropriations under section 601 of H. Con. Res. 25. This 
     list is needed to enforce section 601 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.
       In addition, letters from the Congressional Budget Office 
     are attached that summarize and compare the budget impact of 
     enacted legislation that occurred after adoption of the 
     budget resolution against the budget resolution aggregates in 
     force.
       If you have any questions, please contact Paul Restuccia at 
     (202) 226-7270.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Paul Ryan,
                                                         Chairman.

\1\Section 111(b) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 required the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget in
  the House of Representatives to file aggregate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2014 for purposes of enforcing
  section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The spending and revenue aggregates for fiscal year 2014
  were subsequently filed on January 27, 2014. The current level for this report begins with the budgetary
  levels filed on January 27, 2014 and makes changes to those levels for enacted legislation.
\2\Section 115(b) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA) required the Chairman of the Committee on the
  Budget in the House of Representatives to file aggregate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2015 and for fiscal
  years 2015-2024 for purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The spending
  and revenue aggregates for fiscal year 2015 were filed on April 29, 2014. Those levels were subsequently
  adjusted on November 12, 2014 pursuant to BBA section 115(e) to reflect the budgetary effects of deficit
  reduction enacted in the Highways and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. The current level for this report
  begins with the budgetary levels filed on April 29, 2014 as adjusted, and makes changes to those levels for
  enacted legislation.

\1\The original 302(a) allocation to the Committee on Appropriations contained in H. Rpt. 113-17 for the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget-Fiscal Year
  2014 (H. Con. Res. 25) was revised on January 14, 2014, consistent with section 101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. The House Committee on
  Appropriations did not file revised 302(b) allocations after the final 302(a) allocation was provided--hence there are no valid 302(b)'s in force for
  fiscal year 2014.
\2\Spending designated as emergency is not included in the current status of appropriations shown above.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, November 14, 2014.
     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 2014 budget and is 
     current through November 12, 2014. 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. 25, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2014, as approved by the House of Representatives 
     and subsequently revised.
       Since my last letter dated September 9, 2014, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following act 
     that affects budget authority for fiscal year 2014: 
     Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act 
     (Public Law 113-183).
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf.
       Enclosure.

aIncludes the following acts that affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues, and were cleared by the
  Congress during last session, but before adoption of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year
  2014 (H. Con. Res. 25): an act to temporarily increase the borrowing authority of the FEMA for carrying out
  the National Flood Insurance Program (P.L. 113-1), the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-2),
  the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (P.L. 113-5), the Consolidated and
  Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-6), and the Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013 (P.L. 113-
  9).
bRelative to the House Current Level Report dated October 24, 2013, House Current Level has increased by $361
  million in 2014 because of assumptions related to the interest on the public debt that were revised pursuant
  to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (P.L. 113-67).
cPursuant to section 314(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, amounts designated as an emergency
  requirement pursuant to 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 shall
  not count for purposes of Title III and Title IV of the Congressional Budget Act. The amounts so designated
  for 2014, which are not included in the current level totals, are as follows:

dSections 135 and 136 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-46) provide $636 million for fire
  suppression activities, available until expended. Section 146 of the act freezes the pay of Members of
  Congress, which is estimated to result in a reduction in spending of $l million in 2014.
eFor purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the resolution, as approved
  by the House of Representatives, does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget
  amounts. As a result, current level does not include these items.
fPeriodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in H. Con. Res. 25, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, November 14, 2014.
     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 2015 budget and is 
     current through November 12, 2014. 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 allocations, aggregates, and other 
     budgetary levels printed in the Congressional Record on April 
     29, 2014, pursuant to section 115 of the Bipartisan Budget 
     Act (Public Law 113-67).
       Since my last letter dated September 9, 2014, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following acts 
     that affect budget authority or outlays for fiscal year 2015:
       Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2015 (Public Law 113-
     164);
       Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act 
     (Public Law 113-183); and
       IMPACT Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-185).
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf.
       Enclosure.
