OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


OMB Sequestration Update Report to the President and Congress for 
Fiscal Year 2015

AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and 
Budget.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the OMB Sequestration Update Report 
to the President and Congress for FY 2015.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: OMB is issuing the OMB Sequestration Update Report to the 
President and Congress for FY 2015 to report on the status of the 
discretionary caps and on the compliance of pending discretionary 
appropriations legislation with those caps. The report finds that if 
the current limits remain unchanged, under OMB's estimates Senate 
action to date for the 12 annual appropriations bills for fiscal year 
2015 would result in a sequestration of approximately $34 million in 
discretionary programs in the defense category. The report also finds 
that actions by the House of Representatives for both the defense and 
non-defense categories and actions by the Senate for the non-defense 
category are in compliance with the current 2015 spending limits and 
that present House and Senate action on pending 2014 supplemental 
appropriations would not breach the current 2014 limits. Finally, the 
report also contains OMB's Preview Estimate of the Disaster Relief 
Funding Adjustment for FY 2015.

DATES: Effective Date: August 20, 2013. Section 254 of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, requires 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue a Sequestration 
Update Report on August 20th of each year. With regard to this update 
report and to each of the three required sequestration reports, section 
254(b) specifically states the following:

    SUBMISSION AND AVAILABILITY OF REPORTS.--Each report required by 
this section shall be submitted, in the case of CBO, to the House of 
Representatives, the Senate and OMB and, in the case of OMB, to the 
House of Representatives, the Senate, and the President on the day 
it is issued. On the following day a notice of the report shall be 
printed in the Federal Register.


ADDRESSES: The OMB Sequestration Reports to the President and Congress 
is available on-line on the OMB home page at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/legislative_reports/sequestration.
