          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), and Senate Report 118-78 (July 26, 
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. These reflect an increase 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 their associated outlays.
    The revised allocations to subcommittees for fiscal year 
2024 are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024
