YEAR 2019
_______

Mr. Shelby, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following
REPORT
The Committee on Appropriations submits the following
report revising the section 302(b) allocation to its
subcommittees for fiscal year 2019 set forth in Senate Report
115-260 (May 24, 2018) and revised in Senate Report 115-267
(June 6, 2018), Senate Report 115-273 (June 13, 2018), Senate
Report 115-279 (June 18, 2018), Senate Report 115-280 (June 20,
2018), and Senate Report 115-287 (June 27, 2018).
Section 302(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as
amended, provides that at any time after a committee reports
its allocations such committee may report to its House an
alteration of such allocations. This report is submitted
pursuant to this section.
The Congressional Budget Act requires that as soon as
practicable after a concurrent resolution on the budget is
agreed to, the Committee on Appropriations shall submit to the
Senate a report subdividing among its subcommittees the new
budget authority and total outlays allocated to the Committee
in the joint explanatory statement accompanying the conference
report on such a resolution. Section 30103 of the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123) provides for the
Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an allocation,
consistent with the terms of the Bipartisan Budget Act, to
serve as a section 302(a) allocation for purposes of budget
enforcement in the Senate. The allocation was filed by the
Chairman of the Budget Committee on May 7, 2018 (Congressional
Record pp. S2512-2513).
The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,
the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget may increase the
302(a) allocation of the Committee on Appropriations if certain
conditions relating to funding of specific programs are met.
These provisions address such programs as: costs of emergencies
(sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)); costs of overseas contingency
operations (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(ii)); continuing disability
reviews and redeterminations (sec. 251(b)(2)(B)); healthcare
fraud and abuse control (sec. 251(b)(2)(C)); reemployment
services and eligibility assessments (sec. 251(b)(2)(E)); and
disaster funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)).
On May 24, 2018, the Committee on Appropriations filed an
initial allocation to its subcommittees pursuant to its section
302(a) allocation.
On June 18, 2018, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional
Record pp. S3978-3979) reflecting permissible increases in the
fiscal year 2019 discretionary allocation. These reflect an
increase of $921,000,000 in security budget currently
designated for overseas contingency operations/global war on
terrorism, plus associated outlays.
The further revised allocations to subcommittees for 2019
are set forth below:
