                                _______
                                

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

                                 REPORT

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report revising the allocation to its subcommittees for fiscal 
year 2020 set forth in Senate Report 116-104 (September 12, 
2019) and revised in Senate Report 116-106 (September 18, 
2019), Senate Report 116-121 (September 25, 2019), Senate 
Report 116-122 (September 26, 2019), Senate Report 116-139 
(October 22, 2019), Senate Report 116-181 (December 19, 2019), 
and Senate Report 116-207 (January 15, 2020).
    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 204 of the Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-37) 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 September 9, 2019 
(Congressional Record pp. S5354-5356). This allocation 
reflected an increase of $8,000,000 in nonsecurity budget 
authority in fiscal year 2020 and all of the associated fiscal 
year 2020 outlays from amounts that were designated as an 
emergency requirement in both the Additional Supplemental 
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-
20) and the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for 
Humanitarian Assistance and Border Security at the Southern 
Border Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-26).
    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)); reemployment 
services and eligibility assessments (sec. 251(b)(2)(E)); 
disaster funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)); wildfire suppression 
(sec. 251(b)(2)(F)); and the 2020 census (sec. 251(b)(2)(G)).
    On September 12, 2019, the Committee on Appropriations 
filed an initial allocation to its subcommittees pursuant to 
its section 302(a) allocation.
    On September 26, 2019, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record pp. S5743-5744) reflecting permissible increases in the 
fiscal year 2020 discretionary allocation. These reflect an 
increase of $128,000,000 in outlays designated for overseas 
contingency operations/global war on terrorism.
    On October 22, 2019, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Record pp. S5960-5961) reflecting permissible 
increases in the fiscal year 2020 discretionary allocation. 
These reflect an increase of $2,500,000,000 in nonsecurity 
budget authority designated for the 2020 Census, plus 
associated outlays, and $2,250,000,000 in nonsecurity budget 
authority provided for wildfire suppression, plus associated 
outlays.
    On December 19, 2019, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Record pp. S7195-7196) reflecting permissible 
increases in the fiscal year 2020 discretionary allocation. 
These reflect an increase of $71,500,000,000 in security budget 
authority and $8,000,000,000 in nonsecurity budget authority 
designated for overseas contingency operations/global war on 
terrorism, plus associated outlays. The revised 302(a) also 
reflects an increase of $17,503,000,000 in nonsecurity budget 
authority designated for disaster relief, plus associated 
outlays, an increase of $1,842,000,000 in nonsecurity budget 
authority provided for continuing disability reviews and 
redeterminations, for health care fraud and abuse control, and 
for reemployment services and eligibility assessments, plus 
associated outlays, and an increase of $8,000,000,000 in 
security budget authority and $535,000,000 in nonsecurity 
budget authority designated as an emergency requirement, plus 
associated outlays. In addition, these affirm that the October 
22, 2019 adjustments to nonsecurity budget authority designated 
for the 2020 Census and for wildfire suppression, plus 
associated outlays, required no further budgetary adjustment at 
this time since spending is still appropriately designated and 
consistent with the previously filed levels.
    On January 15, 2020, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee 
(Congressional Report p. S239) reflecting permissible increases 
in the fiscal year 2020 discretionary allocation. These reflect 
an increase of $843,000,000 in nonsecurity budget authority 
designated as an emergency requirement, plus associated 
outlays.
    On March 5, 2020, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting 
permissible increases in the fiscal year 2020 discretionary 
allocation. These reflect an increase of $7,767,000,000 in 
nonsecurity budget authority designated as an emergency 
requirement, plus associated outlays.
    The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2020 
are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020
