OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


OMB Sequestration Update Report to the President and Congress for 
Fiscal Year 2017

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 2017.

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

SUMMARY: OMB is issuing the OMB Sequestration Update Report to the 
President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2017 to report on the status of 
the discretionary caps and on the compliance of pending discretionary 
appropriations legislation with those caps. For fiscal year 2016, the 
report finds enacted appropriations to be within the spending limits. 
The report also finds that 2016 supplemental funding amounts for Zika 
virus response included in Divisions B and D of the pending Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2017 and Zika Response and Preparedness Conference Report would 
not breach the 2016 limits if enacted. For fiscal year 2017, the report 
finds that, if the current limits remain unchanged, under OMB's 
estimates of actions to date by the House of Representatives for the 12 
annual appropriations bills would result in a sequestration of 
approximately $17 million in defense programs and $775 million in non-
defense programs, respectively. The report finds that actions by the 
Senate for both categories are in compliance with the current spending 
limits. Finally, the report also contains OMB's Preview Estimate of the 
Disaster Relief Funding Adjustment for FY 2017.

DATES: Effective Date: August 20, 2016. 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.
