Balances
Sources: The FY2021 enacted amounts were taken from the joint explanatory statement to accompany P.L.
116-260, printed in the December 21, 2020, Congressional Record (pp. H7951-H7966). FY2022 requested and
House committee-reported amounts were taken from H.Rept. 117-97. Senate Committee on Appropriations
majority draft bil amounts were taken from the text of the FY2022 CJS draft bil 116-189). FY2022 Enacted Appropriations The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103) provides $79.114 billion in regular appropriations for CJS for FY2022. As shown in Table 3, the CJS also received $47.575 billion in emergency supplemental funding for FY2022, most of which was provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58, IIJA). The Consolidated Appropriations Act includes: Congressional Research Service 9 Overview of FY2022 Appropriations for CJS  $9.903 billion for the Department of Commerce, which is $989 million (+11.1%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $1.677 billion (-14.5%) less than the Administration’s request;  $35.207 billion for the Department of Justice, which is $1.417 billion (+4.2%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $806 million (-2.2%) less than the Administration’s request;  $32.888 billion for the science agencies, which is $1.122 billon (+3.5%) more than the FY2021 enacted appropriation and $2.092 billion (-6.0%) less than the Administration’s request; and  $1.116 billion for the related agencies, which is $51 million (+4.8%) more than the FY2021 enacted appropriation and $130 million (-10.5%) less than the Administration’s request. With few exceptions, FY2022 regular funding for CJS accounts was equal to or greater than FY2021 regular funding. Some notable exceptions include DOJ’s Research, Evaluation, and Statistics account, which for FY2022 received $16 million (-14.6%) million less than it did for FY2021. In addition, the DEA’s Construction account was not funded for FY2022 after it received $50 million for FY2021 (the Administration did not request funding for this account for FY2022). On the other hand, in many instances, FY2022 regular funding for CJS accounts was below the Administration’s request. There were several CJS accounts where funding was equal to the Administration’s request. However, there are a few instances of Congress providing funding above the Administration’s request, including:  FBI’s Construction account, which received $570 million more than the Administration’s request (a nine-fold increase);  BOP’s Salaries and Expenses account, which received $195 million (+2.5%) more than the Administration’s request;  DOJ’s State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account, which received $164 million (+8.0%) more than the Administration’s request;  NIST’s Construction of Research Facilities account, which received $126 million (+46.8%) more than the Administration’s request;  BOP’s Building and Facilities account, which received $56 million (+31.3%) more than the Administration’s request;  NASA’s Space Operations account, which received $24 million (+0.6%) more than the Administration’s request;  NASA’s Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration account, which received $20 million (+5.1%) more than the Administration’s request;  DEA’s Salaries and Expenses account, which received $13 million (+0.5%) more than the Administration’s request; and  the International Trade Commission, which received $7 million (+6.8%) more than the Administration’s request. The Consolidated Appropriations Act did not include the Administration’s proposal to fund the Census Bureau’s operations through one account; it continues the bureau’s past budget structure. In addition, the act includes $2 million for the Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics.
