  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
 REVENUES FOR FY 2015, 2016, AND THE 10-YEAR PERIOD FY 2016 THROUGH FY 
                                  2025

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                 Washington, DC, October 29, 2015.
     Hon. John A. Boehner,
     Speaker, 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 years 2015, 2016, and for 
     the 10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025. This 
     status report is current through October 27, 2015. 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 to the overall 
     limits, as adjusted, that were filed in the Congressional 
     Record on April 29, 2014 for fiscal year 2015, and to the 
     limits contained in the conference report on S. Con. Res. 11, 
     as agreed to on May 5, 2015, for fiscal year 2016, and for 
     the 10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025. This 
     comparison is needed to implement section 311(a) of the 
     Congressional 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 2016 because 
     appropriations for those years have not yet been considered.
       Table 2 compares the current levels of budget authority and 
     outlays for legislative action completed by each authorizing 
     committee with the ``section 302(a)'' allocations filed on 
     April 29, 2014 for fiscal year 2015, and to the limits 
     contained in the conference report on S. Con. Res. 11, as 
     agreed to on May 5, 2015, for fiscal year 2016 and for the 
     10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025. For fiscal 
     year 2015, ``legislative action'' refers to legislation 
     enacted after the adoption of the levels set forth in the 
     Congressional Record on April 29, 2014. For fiscal year 2016 
     and the 10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025, 
     ``legislative action'' refers to legislation enacted after 
     the adoption of the levels set forth in the conference 
     agreement on S. Con. Res. 11. This comparison is needed to 
     enforce section 302(f) of the Congressional 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 years 2015 and 2016 with the 
     ``section 302(b)'' suballocations of discretionary budget 
     authority and outlays among Appropriations subcommittees. The 
     comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act because the point of order under 
     that section equally applies to measures that would breach 
     the applicable section 302(b) suballocation. The tables also 
     provide supplementary information on spending in excess of 
     the base discretionary spending caps allowed under section 
     251(b) of the Budget Control Act.
       Table 5 compares the levels of changes to mandatory 
     programs (CHIMPs) contained in appropriations acts with the 
     permissible limits on CHIMPs as specified in sections 3103 
     and 3104 of S. Con. Res. 11. The comparison is needed to 
     enforce a point of order established in S. Con. Res. 11 
     against fiscal year 2016 appropriations measures containing 
     CHIMPs that would breach the permissible limits for fiscal 
     year 2016.
       Tables 6 and 7 display the current level of advance 
     appropriations for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively, 
     of accounts identified for advance appropriations under 
     section 601 of H. Con. Res. 25 (113th Congress), in force and 
     effect pursuant to H. Res. 5 (114th Congress), and under 
     section 3304 of S. Con. Res 11. These tables are needed to 
     enforce a point of order against appropriations bills 
     containing 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 budget 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 Jim Herz or Jim 
     Bates at (202) 226-7270.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Tom Price, M.D.,
                                                         Chairman.

\1\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 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. 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.
\2\The FY2016 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget was agreed to in S. Con. Res. 11 and the accompanying report,
  H. Rept. 114-96. The current level for this report is measured relative to the on-budget levels filed in H.
  Rept. 114-96.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, October 29, 2015.
     Hon. Tom Price, M.D.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of

     replacement of the existing medical center of the Department 
     of Veterans Affairs in Denver, Colorado, to authorize 
     transfers of amounts to carry out the replacement of such 
     medical center, and for other purposes (Public Law 114-25);
       Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act and the 
     Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability 
     Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-26);
       Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-
     27);
       Steve Gleason Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-40);
       Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice 
     Improvement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-41);
       Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-53);
       Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-

     2015 (Public Law 114-58); and

     Law 114-60).
           Sincerely,
                                                       Keith Hall,

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, October 29, 2015.
     Hon. Tom Price, M.D.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of

     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 our last letter dated May 21, 2015, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal year 
     2015:
       Construction Authorization and Choice Improvement Act 
     (Public Law 114-19);
       An act to extend the authorization to carry out the 
     replacement of the existing medical center of the Department 
     of Veterans Affairs in Denver, Colorado, to authorize 
     transfers of amounts to carry out the replacement of such 
     medical center, and for other purposes (Public Law 114-25);
       Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-
     27): and
       Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice 
     Improvement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-41).
           Sincerely,
                                                       Keith Hall,
                                                         Director.

cSections 136 and 137 of the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2015 provide $88 million to respond to the
  Ebola virus, which is available until September 30, 2015. Section 139 rescinds funds from the Children's
  Health Insurance Program. Section 147 extended the authorization for the Export-Import Bank of the United
  States through June 30, 2015.
dSection 2002 of the Surface Transportation and Veterans Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 transferred $8,068
  million from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund. Pursuant to section 3302 of S. Con. Res. 11, the
  Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2016, general fund transfers to the Highway Trust Fund are
  considered to be new budget authority and outlays for budget enforcement purposes in the House of
  Representatives.
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.

  Record on April, 29, 2014, pursuant to section 115 of the Bipartisan Budget Act (Public Law 113-67):
