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. 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. in the absence of such congressional action, on August 2, 2011, the President approved the Budget Control Act of 2011. Section 106(b)(1) of that act provides for the chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an allocation, consistent with the terms of the Budget Control 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 September 7, 2012. The allocation will remain in effect until the adoption by Congress of a budget resolution. This approach is not without precedent. A similar procedure (S. Res. 308; 101st Congress) was agreed to in the Senate on July 12, 1990, providing an allocation for the Committee for fiscal year 1991. The budget resolution was finally adopted on October 9, 1990. A similar resolution (S. Res. 209; 105th Congress) was agreed to in the Senate on April 2, 1998, providing an allocation for the Committee for fiscal year 1999. Conferees were unable to resolve their differences on budget that year. in August 2004, the President approved the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108- 287). Section 14007 of that act set an allocation consistent with the conference report on S. Con. Res. 95, the budget resolution for fiscal year 2005. That budget conference report was never adopted by the Congress. Again, in June 2006, the President approved the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006 (Public Law 109-234). Section 7035 of that act provided section 302(a) allocations to the Committee on Appropriations for fiscal year 2007. Conferees on the fiscal year 2007 budget resolution were unable to resolve their differences. in other years, in the absence of a budget resolution, the Committee has proceeded with internal guidance, but without any budget enforcement procedures in the Senate. in June 1984, the Committee adopted a non-binding allocation of a non-defense spending. That year the budget resolution was adopted by the Congress on October 1. Again, in July 2002, the Committee adopted a non-binding allocation. That year the Senate did not consider a budget resolution for fiscal year 2003. On July 15, 2010, the Committee adopted its own ``Committee Guidance''. Last year neither the House nor the Senate considered a budget resolution for fiscal year 2011. The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by section 101 of the Budget Control Act of 2011, under 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: costs of emergencies (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)); costs of overseas contingency operations (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(ii)); continuing disability reviews and redeterminations (sec. 251(b)(2)(B)); healthcare fraud and abuse control (sec. 251(b)(2)(C)); and disaster funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)).
