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),
Senate Report 116-207 (January 15, 2020), and Senate Report
116-223 (March 5, 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
(Congressional Record pp. S1591-1592) 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.
On May 4, 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 $10,607,000,000 in
security budget authority and $483,647,000,000 in nonsecurity
budget authority designated as an emergency requirement, plus
associated outlays.
The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2020
are set forth below:
