OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


OMB Sequestration Update Report to the President and Congress for 
Fiscal Year 2014

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 2014.

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

SUMMARY: OMB is issuing the Sequestration Update Report to the 
President and Congress for FY 2014 to report on the status of pending 
discretionary appropriations legislation and compliance with the 
discretionary caps. The report finds that unless the discretionary 
limits are restored to the levels agreed to in the American Taxpayer 
Relief Act of 2012, OMB's estimates of House action for the 12 annual 
appropriations bills show that a sequestration of approximately $47.9 
billion in discretionary programs in the defense (or revised security) 
category would be required. Similarly, OMB's estimates of 
appropriations action by the Senate indicate that a sequestration of 
approximately $54.1 billion in discretionary programs in the defense 
category and $34.3 billion in discretionary programs in the non-defense 
(or revised nonsecurity) category would be required. The report also 
contains OMB's Preview Estimate of the Disaster Relief Funding 
Adjustment for FY 2014.

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.
