Mrs. Murray, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following
REPORT
The Committee on Appropriations submits the following
report revising the allocations to its subcommittees for fiscal
year 2024 set forth in Senate Report 118-45 (June 22, 2023) and
revised in Senate Report 118-57 (July 12, 2023), Senate Report
118-69 (July 19, 2023), Senate Report 118-78 (July 26, 2023),
Senate Report 118-98 (September 13, 2023), and Senate Report
118-108 (October 25, 2023).
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.
Under the provisions of section 301(a) of the Congressional
Budget Act, the Congress shall complete action on a concurrent
resolution on the budget no later than April 15 of each year.
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.
On June 3, 2023, the President approved the Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 2023. Section 121 of that act provides
for the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an
allocation, consistent with the terms of the Fiscal
Responsibility 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 June 21,
2023 (Congressional Record pp. S2180-S2181).
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 the costs 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)), disaster funding
(sec. 251(b)(2)(D)), reemployment services and eligibility
assessments (sec. 251(b)(2)(E)), and wildfire suppression (sec.
251(b)(2)(F)).
On September 12, 2023, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee on Appropriations
reflecting permissible increases in the fiscal year 2024
discretionary allocation of $8,000,000,000 in budget authority
in the revised security category for emergencies and
$54,198,000,000 in budget authority in the revised nonsecurity
category for emergencies, continuing disability reviews and
redeterminations, healthcare fraud and abuse control, disaster
funding, reemployment services and eligibility assessments, and
wildfire suppression, as well as the associated outlays.
On October 24, 2023, the Committee on the Budget filed a
further revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee on
Appropriations reflecting a permissible increase in the fiscal
year 2024 discretionary allocation of $16,000,000,000 in budget
authority in the revised nonsecurity category for emergencies
in the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions
Act (Public Law 118-15), as well as the associated outlays.
On March 8, 2024, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee on Appropriations
reflecting permissible increases in the fiscal year 2024
discretionary allocation of $67,492,000,000 in budget authority
in the revised security category for emergencies and
$21,205,000,000 in budget authority in the revised nonsecurity
category for emergencies and disaster relief in the National
Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, as well as the
associated outlays.

2024 are set forth below:
