SUMMARY: OMB is issuing its Final Sequestration Report to the President 
and Congress for FY 2018 to report on compliance of enacted 2018 
discretionary appropriations legislation with the discretionary caps. 
The report includes adjustments to the 2018 and 2019 caps for changes 
in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and it finds that enacted 
appropriations are within those discretionary caps for 2018. As a 
result, a sequestration of discretionary budget authority is not 
required in 2018. The report also finds that enacted supplemental 
appropriations for 2017 are within the 2017 caps.

DATES: 
    Release Date: April 6, 2018. Section 254 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, requires the Office of 
Management and

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.
    However, a provision in the 2018 Continuing Resolution delayed the

Resolution expired on March 23, 2018.
