          Ms. Mikulski, from the Committee on Appropriations, 
                        submitted the following

                                 REPORT

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report further revising the section 302(b) allocation to its 
subcommittees for fiscal year 2013 set forth in Senate Report 
112-156 (April 19, 2012) and revised in Senate Report 112-160 
(April 25, 2012) and Senate Report 112-252 (December 12, 2012).
    Section 302(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
amended, provides that at any time after a committee reports 
its allocations such committee may report to its House an 
alteration of such allocations. This report is submitted 
pursuant to this section.
    The Budget Act requires that as soon as practicable after a 
concurrent resolution on the budget is agreed to, the Committee 
on Appropriations shall submit to the Senate a report 
subdividing among its subcommittees the new budget authority 
and total outlays allocated to the Committee in the joint 
explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on 
such a resolution. Section 106(b)(2) of the Budget Control Act 
of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) provides for the chairman of the 
Committee on the Budget to file an allocation consistent with 
the terms of the act to serve as a section 302(a) allocation 
for purposes of budget enforcement in the Senate. The 
allocation was filed by the chairman of the Budget Committee on 
March 20, 2012.
    On April 19, 2012, the Committee on Appropriations filed an 
initial allocation to its subcommittees pursuant to its section 
302(a) allocation.
    On July 29, 2012, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record pp. S4766-4767) reflecting permissible increases in the 
fiscal year 2013 discretionary allocation. These increases 
reflect $5,648,000,000 in budget authority designated for 
disaster relief, $2,547,000,000 in budget authority designated 
as being for overseas contingency operations, and 
$1,050,000,000 for program integrity adjustments related to 
continuing disability reviews and redeterminations, and 
healthcare fraud and abuse control, plus associated outlays,
    On December 18, 2012, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record pp. S8135-8136) reflecting permissible increases in the 
fiscal year 2013 discretionary allocation. These increases 
reflect $50,578,000,000 in budget authority designated for 
emergency relief, $5,349,000,000 in budget authority designated 
as being for disaster relief category, and $93,297,000,000 in 
budget authority designated as being for overseas contingency 
operations, plus associated outlays.
    On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 
2012 (Public Law 112-240), commonly known as ATRA, was enacted 
into law. ATRA affected the discretionary caps previously in 
place under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) 
in two significant ways. First, ATRA reduced the aggregate 
discretionary caps from $1,047,000,000 to $1,043,000,0000. 
Second, it changed the categories of discretionary spending 
from defense (function 050) and non-defense to security and 
non-security for the remainder of the fiscal year. The 
``security category'' is comprised of discretionary 
appropriations associated with agency budgets for the 
Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the 
Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Nuclear Security 
Administration, the intelligence community management account 
(95-0401-0-1-054), and all budget accounts in budget function 
150 (international affairs). All other discretionary programs 
are in the ``nonsecurity category''.
    On March 12, 2013, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting the 
changes outlined above, plus permissible adjustments to the 
302(a) allocation under the terms of section 251(b)(2) of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
    The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2013 
are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013
