SUMMARY: OMB is issuing the OMB Sequestration Update Report to the
President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2018 to report on the status of
the discretionary caps and on the compliance of pending discretionary
appropriations legislation with those caps. For fiscal year 2017, the
report finds enacted appropriations to be within the spending limits.
For fiscal year 2018, 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 $72.4 billion in defense programs.
The report also finds that actions or funding guidance by the Senate
would result in a sequestration of approximately $2.0 billion in
defense programs and $3.8 billion for non-defense programs. Finally,
the report also contains OMB's Preview Estimate of the Disaster Relief
Funding Adjustment for FY 2018.
DATES: Date: August 20, 2017. 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

printed in the Federal Register.
