OMB Sequestration Update Report to the President and Congress for
Fiscal Year 2016
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 2016.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: OMB is issuing the OMB Sequestration Update Report to the
President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2016 to report on the status of
the discretionary caps and on the compliance of pending discretionary
appropriations legislation with those caps. For fiscal year 2015, the
report finds enacted appropriations to be within the spending limits.
For fiscal year 2016, the report finds that if the current limits
remain unchanged, under OMB's estimates of actions to date by both the
House of Representatives and Senate for the 12 annual appropriations
bills would result in a sequestration of approximately $3 million and
$1 million, respectively, in discretionary programs in the defense
category. The report also finds that fiscal year 2016 actions by the
House of Representatives for the non-defense category would result in a
sequestration of nearly $1.8 billion while OMB's estimate of actions by
the Senate for the non-defense category are in compliance with the
current spending limit. Finally, the report also contains OMB's Preview
Estimate of the Disaster Relief Funding Adjustment for FY 2016.
DATES: Effective Date: August 20, 2015. Section 254 of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 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.
