YEARS 2016 AND 2017
_______
June 27, 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), Senate Report 114-257 (May 18, 2016), Senate
Report 114-273 (June 8, 2016), and Senate Report 114-278 (June
15, 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
further 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.
On June 27, 2016, the Committee on the Budget filed a
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting
permissible changes in the fiscal year 2017 discretionary
allocation. These changes reflect an increase of $172,000,000
in security budget authority designated for overseas
contingency operations/global war on terrorism, plus associated
outlays. In addition, the revised 302(a) allocation reflects a
reduction of $126,000,000 in outlays designated as an emergency
requirement to adjust the further revised 302(a) allocation
filed on May 26, 2016.
The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2017
are set forth below:

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), Senate Report 114-197 (December 18, 2015),
and Senate Report 114-273 (June 8, 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 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.
On June 27, 2016, the Committee on the Budget filed a
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting
permissible changes in the fiscal year 2016 discretionary
allocation. These changes reflect a reduction of $107,000,000
in nonsecurity budget authority designated as an emergency
requirement, plus associated outlays to adjust the further
revised 302(a) allocation filed on May 26, 2016.
The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2016
are set forth below:
