--FURTHER REVISED ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF BUDGET TOTALS FROM THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, FISCAL YEAR 2009
The Committee on Appropriations submits the following report revising the section 302(b) allocation to subcommittees set forth in Senate Report 110-393 (June 19, 2008) and Senate Report 110-402 (June 25, 2008).
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 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. The conference report on the concurrent resolution for fiscal year 2009 (S. Con. Res. 70) was agreed to by the Congress on June 5, 2008.
AMOUNTS CONTAINED IN THE RESOLUTION
Pursuant to section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, the joint explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2009 (H. Rept. 110-659; filed May 20, 2008) contains allocations to the Senate Committee on Appropriations for fiscal year 2009.
The Committee notes that, under the terms of several provisions of the budget resolution, 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: continuing disability reviews and Supplemental Security Income [SSI] redeterminations (sec. 312(c)(2)(A)); Internal Revenue Service tax compliance (sec. 312(c)(2)(B)); control of health care fraud and abuse (sec. 312(c)(2)(C)); reviews of improper unemployment insurance payments (sec. 312(c)(2)(D)); and costs of overseas deployments and other contingencies (sec. 312(c)(3)).
On July 16, 2008, the Committee on the Budget filed a revised allocation reflecting an increase of $968,000,000 in budget authority and $892,000,000 in outlays, pursuant to section 312(c)(2) of Senate Concurrent Resolution 70 (110th Congress).
Set forth below are the allocations to subcommittees:
