FURTHER REVISED ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF BUDGET TOTALS FOR FISCAL 
                          YEARS 2016 AND 2017

                           _______________
                                
                  June 8, 2016.--Ordered to be printed
                           _______________
                                

          Mr. Cochran, from the Committee on Appropriations, 
                        submitted the following

                                 REPORT

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report revising the section 302(b) allocation to its 
subcommittees for fiscal year 2017 set forth in Senate Report 
114-238 (April 18, 2016) and revised in Senate Report 114-253 
(May 12, 2016) and Senate Report 114-257 (May 18, 2016).
    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 Congressional 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 102 of the Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74) provides for the 
Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an allocation, 
consistent with the terms of the Bipartisan Budget 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 April 18, 2016 
(Congressional Record pp. S2121).
    The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, 
the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget may increase the 
302(a) allocation of the Committee on Appropriations if certain 
conditions relating to funding of specific programs are met. 
These provisions address such programs as: costs of emergencies 
(sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)); costs of overseas contingency 
operations (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(ii)); continuing disability 
reviews and redeterminations (sec. 251(b)(2)(B)); healthcare 
fraud and abuse control (sec. 251(b)(2)(C)); and disaster 
funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)).
    On April 18, 2016, the Committee on Appropriations filed an 
initial allocation to its subcommittees pursuant to its section 
302(a) allocation.
    On May 12, 2016, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting 
permissible increases in the fiscal year 2017 discretionary 
allocation. These increases reflect $1,000,000 in outlays 
designated as an emergency requirement.
    On May 26, 2016, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record pp. S3279-3280) reflecting permissible increases in the 
fiscal year 2017 discretionary allocation. These increases 
reflect $508,000,000 in outlays designated as an emergency 
requirement.
    The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2017 
are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017
                                                                                    [In millions of dollars]

    In addition to the budget allocation for the budget year, 
the Committee on Appropriations submits the following report 
revising the section 302(b) allocation to its subcommittees for 
fiscal year 2016 set forth in Senate Report 114-55 (May 21, 
2015) and revised in Senate Report 114-61 (June 10, 2015), 
Senate Report 114-72 (June 24, 2015), Senate Report 114-78 
(July 8, 2015), Senate Report 114-81 (July 15, 2015), Senate 
Report 114-165 (November 5, 2015), Senate Report 114-167 
(November 18, 2015), and Senate Report 114-197 (December 18, 
2015).
    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. The conference report on the concurrent 
resolution for fiscal year 2016 (S. Con. Res. 11) was agreed to 
by the Congress on May 5, 2015.
    Pursuant to section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974, as amended, the joint explanatory statement 
accompanying the conference report on the concurrent resolution 
on the budget for fiscal year 2016 (H. Rept. 114-96; filed 
April 29, 2015) contained allocations to the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations for fiscal year 2016. Those allocations were 
consistent with the discretionary spending limits in section 
251(c) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
of 1985 (BBEDCA), as adjusted by the Office of Management and 
Budget pursuant to section 251A of that Act in February 2015.
    The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of 
BBEDCA, the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget may 
increase the 302(a) allocation of the Committee on 
Appropriations if certain conditions relating to funding of 
specific programs are met. These provisions address such 
programs as: cost of emergencies (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)); 
continuing disability reviews and redeterminations (sec. 
251(b)(2)(B)); healthcare fraud and abuse control (sec. 
251(b)(2)(C)); and disaster funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)).
    The conference report also provides for a separate 
allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for fiscal year 
2016 for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)/Global War on 
Terrorism (GWOT). Any appropriation designated for OCO under 
section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of BBEDCA will be scored against this 
separate allocation. The OCO allocation may be subdivided among 
the subcommittees and the Chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget may adjust the 302(a) allocation to account for new 
information.
    On May 21, 2015, the Committee on Appropriations filed an 
initial allocation to its subcommittees pursuant to its section 
302(a) allocation.
    On September 30, 2015, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record pp. S7043-7044) reflecting permissible increases in the 
fiscal year 2016 discretionary allocation. These increases 
reflect $700,000,000 in nonsecurity budget authority designated 
as an emergency requirement, plus associated outlays.
    On November 18, 2015, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Record pp. S8076-8077) reflecting permissible 
increases in the fiscal year 2016 discretionary allocation. 
These increases reflect $1,000,000 in outlays designated as an 
emergency requirement.
    On December 18, 2015, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Record pp. S8841-8842) reflecting permissible 
increases in the fiscal year 2016 discretionary allocation. The 
revised 302(a) allocation reflects the enactment of Public Law 
114-74, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, through an increase 
of $25,000,000,000 in security budget authority and 
$25,000,000,000 in nonsecurity budget authority, plus 
associated outlays, pursuant to section 3404 of S. Con. Res. 
11, a provision allowing for adjustments to reflect changes in 
concepts and definitions pursuant to enacted legislation. In 
addition, the revised 302(a) allocation reflects a reduction of 
$22,594,000,000 in budget authority, plus the associated 
outlays, to the separate allocation to the Committee on 
Appropriations for fiscal year 2016 for OCO/GWOT. The revised 
302(a) allocation also reflects an increase of $7,143,000,000 
in nonsecurity budget authority designated for disaster relief, 
plus associated outlays, and an increase of $1,523,000,000 in 
nonsecurity budget authority provided for continuing disability 
reviews and redeterminations and for health care fraud and 
abuse control, plus associated outlays. The revised 302(a) 
allocation likewise reflects an increase of $236,000,000 in 
outlays associated with amounts designated as an emergency 
requirement and a reversal of the $1,000,000 increase in 
outlays from the revised 302(a) allocation filed on November 
18, 2015.
    On May 26, 2016, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Record pp. S3279-3280) reflecting permissible 
increases in the fiscal year 2016 discretionary allocation. 
These increases reflect $1,098,000,000 in nonsecurity budget 
authority designated as an emergency requirement, plus 
associated outlays.
    The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2016 
are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016
