[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 154 (Wednesday, August 11, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 43785-43786] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-20700] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET Budget Rescissions and Deferrals TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: In accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, I herewith report one revised deferral of budget authority, now totaling $173 million. The deferral affects programs of the Department of State. William J. Clinton THE WHITE HOUSE, August 2, 1999. Supplemental Report Report Pursuant to Section 1013 of P.L. 93-344 This report updates Deferral No. 99-1A, which was transmitted to Congress on February 1, 1999. [[Page 43786]] This revision increases by $72,276,278 the previous deferral of $100,581,381 in the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund, Department of State, resulting in a total deferral of $172,857,659. This increase results from the deferral of new budget authority provided for FY 1999 in the FY 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-31). DEFERRAL OF BUDGET AUTHORITY Report Pursuant to Section 1013 of P.L. 93-344 Agency: DEPARTMENT OF STATE Bureau: Other. Account: United States emergency refugee and migration assistance fund 1 (11X0400) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ This account was the subject of a similar deferral in FY 1998 (D98-7). New budget authority: *$195,000,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Revised from previous report. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other budgetary resources: *75,412,337 Total budgetary resources: *270,412,337 Amount deferred for entire year: *172,857,659 Justification: This deferral withholds funds available for emergency refugee and migration assistance for which no determination has been made by the President to provide assistance as required by Executive Order No. 11922. Funds will be released as the President determines assistance to be furnished and designates refugees to be assisted by the Fund. This deferral action is taken under the provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1512). Section 501(a) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-141) and section 414(b)(1) of the Refugee Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-212) amended section 2(c) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (22 U.S.C. 2601) by authorizing a fund to enable the President to provide emergency assistance for unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs. Executive Order No. 11922 of June 16, 1976, allocated all funds appropriated to the President for emergency refugee and migration assistance to the Secretary of State, but reserved for the President the determination of assistance to be furnished and the designation of refugees to be assisted by the Fund. Estimated programmatic effect: None. [FR Doc. 99-20700 Filed 8-10-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3110-01-P
