Appropriations

Appropriation acts provide authority for federal programs or agencies to incur obligations and make payments from the Treasury. CBO does not provide official cost estimates of appropriation acts but, instead, produces estimates of budget authority and spending under such acts. In addition, CBO prepares a report each January that lists all programs and activities funded for the current fiscal year for which the authorizations that established or continued their appropriations have expired as well as all programs and activities for which the authorizations of appropriations will expire during the current fiscal year.

Unauthorized Appropriations and Expiring Authorizations (House)

report

January 14, 2011

read complete document  (pdf, 843 kb)

Highlights

As required, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports each January to the Congress on the following:

  • All programs and activities funded for the current fiscal year for which authorizations of appropriations have expired, and
  • All programs and activities for which authorizations of appropriations will expire during the current fiscal year.

That requirement is specified in section 202(e)(3) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The purpose of that provision is "to help Congress use the early months of the year to adopt authorizing legislation that must be in place before the regular appropriation billss can be considered."

 

(Note: CBO publishes three versions of the report on Unauthorized Appropriations and Expiring Authorizations each year, which differ only in the way that Appendixes A and B are sorted. In those reports, the appendixes are sorted by House and Senate authorizing committees and by Appropriations subcommittee.)
