Table 1. FY2012 Appropriations Side-by-Side: Discretionary Appropriations by Subcommittee and Bill Title

(in billions of U.S. $)

Source: See footnotes correlating with each section header for source data.

Notes: Numbers may not add due to rounding. Numbers in brackets are non-adds. Security funding has been identified only for proposals in which such funding is specifically designated in the bill or report, which are those which were introduced after enactment of the Budget Control Act on August 2, 2011. N.A. indicates proposals pre-date the BCA, so the security designation in not applicable.

a. This section prepared by [author name scrubbed]. The House amounts are from H.R. 2112, as passed by the House on June 16, 2011. The Senate amounts are from H.R. 2112, as passed by the Senate on November 1, 2011. The enacted amounts are from P.L. 112-55.

b. The FY2011 and Senate FY2012 amounts do not include the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which was not included because CFTC is not in the jurisdiction of the Senate Agriculture appropriations subcommittee. To make totals comparable with the House and Requested amounts, one would add $0.202 billion in FY2011 and $0.240 billion in the Senate FY2012 columns to account for CFTC appropriations that are in Financial Services appropriations.

c. This section prepared by [author name scrubbed]. House data was taken from H.R. 2596, which was approved by the House Committee on Appropriations on July 13, 2011. Senate data was taken from the Senate-passed version of H.R. 2112, which was approved by the Senate on November 1, 2011. Enacted amounts are from P.L. 112-55.

d. The House committee-reported amounts include a 0.1% rescission of all discretionary accounts in the bill, except the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Operations, Research, and Facilities (ORF) account, per Section 543 of the bill. The rescission, which was included to offset a $0.048 billion increase in NOAA's ORF account, is not reflected in the amounts included in H.R. 2596 and H.Rept. 112-169.

e. This section prepared by [author name scrubbed]. House and Senate data is from S.Rept. 112-77, Report of the Senate Appropriations Committee on H.R. 2219, the FY2012 DOD Appropriations Bill, pp. 282-89. FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74. Scorekeeping adjustments reflect chiefly permanent appropriations such as the Tricare for Life accrual payment to the military retirement fund.

f. The Administration's FY2012 DOD budget request for procurement included $3.212 billion in "advanced appropriations" intended to be expended in FY2013-17 for communications satellites. None of the congressional defense committees approved this request and the funds are not reflected in this table, which includes only FY2012 funding.

g. This section prepared by Carl Behrens. House amounts are from H.R. 2354, which passed the House on July 15, 2011, and was reported by the Senate committee on September 7, 2011. Senate amounts are from H.Rept. 112-75. FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74 and P.L. 112-77.

h. Includes $1.724 billion in emergency funding appropriated in P.L. 112-77.

i. The difference between the House and Senate rescissions total is that the House bill would pay for the emergency spending by a rescission from Title XII of the ARRA (P.L. 111-5).

j. Security spending includes the total funding for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in the Department of Energy (Title III).

k. This section prepared by [author name scrubbed]. House data is from H.R. 2434, which was approved by the House Appropriations Committee on June 23, 2011 (see H.Rept. 112-136); Senate data is from S. 1573, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on September 15, 2011 (see S.Rept. 112-79). FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74.

l. This section prepared by William Painter. Numbers represent discretionary budget authority (appropriations) as reflected in the Comparative Statements of Budget Authority contained in H.Rept. 112-91 and S.Rept. 112-74, in the titles in which it was requested by the Administration or recommended by the House or Senate. House numbers are adjusted to reflect floor action. Funding eligible for a BCA cap adjustment is included in the totals by title. Rescissions are only reflected in the second to last line of the section—not in the titles in which they appear. FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74 and P.L. 112-77.

m. Does not include $1.440 billion in mandatory funding for Coast Guard retired pay, or offsetting collections for TSA. Coast Guard's OCO activity is requested in the Department of Defense's budget, but is provided in both House and Senate versions of the Homeland Security appropriations bill. As it does not register against the 302(b) it is not included in this line.

n. Includes $4.200 billion in DRF funding "paid for" by an increase to the discretionary budget cap as allowed by the BCA.

o. Includes $6.400 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for the Disaster Relief Fund provided in P.L. 112-77, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2012.

p. Does not count $0.018 billion in emergency funding for Coast Guard helicopter replacement.

q. Includes $0.070 billion for data center migration, $0.056 billion for headquarters consolidation, and $0.008 billion for National Special Security Event cost reimbursement.

r. Included for reference only—the House bill included a transfer of $1.000 billion in emergency funds from the Department of Energy to the Disaster Relief Fund. It also included a further rescission of $0.0005 billion in emergency funds from the same Department of Energy account to provide adequate outlays.

s. Does not count $0.018 in rescissions of prior-year emergency funding to pay for Coast Guard helicopter replacement.

t. This section prepared by Carol Hardy-Vincent. House data is from H.R. 2584, approved by the House Appropriations Committee on July 12, 2011 (see H.Rept. 112-151). The Senate did not approve an Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies proposal prior to enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, though a draft bill released by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies on October 14, 2011 is available at http://appropriations.senate.gov/news.cfm?method=news.view&id=3f4832f4-6adb-4be8-9c6f-eabff62cc056. FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74 and P.L. 112-77.

u. This section prepared by Karen Lynch. FY2011 amounts reflect adjustments for comparability, as reported in H.Rept. 112-331. FY2012 House amounts are based on H.R. 3070, which was introduced on September 29, 2011. FY2012 Senate amounts are based on S. 1599, which was reported by the Senate Committee on Appropriations on September 22, 2011 (see S.Rept. 112-84). FY2012 enacted amounts are based on the FY2012 "megabus" (P.L. 112-74, H.Rept. 112-331) and an FY2012 disaster relief law (P.L. 112-77). Note that these FY2012 enacted amounts do not reflect the 0.189% rescission of current year funding required for most (but not all) discretionary accounts, per P.L. 112-74. Amounts shown for the FY2012 request were estimated by CRS using a draft table from the House Committee on Appropriations and various President's Budget materials. Title totals include advance appropriations for subsequent years, but not prior year advances. That is, amounts represent total funding provided in the bill, regardless of the year in which the funding becomes available. Except as noted, these amounts have not been adjusted for scorekeeping or comparability. Funds eligible for BCA cap adjustments (e.g., certain funds for continuing disability reviews and for health care fraud and abuse control) are included in the totals.

v. This amount includes $0.484 billion from P.L. 112-77 for program integrity activities at the Social Security Administration.

w. For the purposes of this table, amounts shown as rescissions of prior year funds include rescissions of FY2012 advance funds that were appropriated as part of the FY2011 process. In general, the amounts in this table do not reflect scorekeeping adjustments of proposed or required rescissions. However, the amounts shown do include proposed or required rescissions of mandatory appropriations.

x. This section prepared by Ida Brudnick. The House data reflects the bill (H.R. 2551) which passed the House, as amended, on July 22, 2011 (Roll no. 629; 252-159), but without scorekeeping. The House, by tradition, does not include funding for the Senate or for the Senate Office Buildings heading for the Architect of the Capitol. The Senate Appropriations Committee reported the bill on September 15, 2011, and the data reflect the levels in S.Rept. 112-80. The report (p. 54) indicates that $0.010 billion of the Senate total is for security discretionary spending. This report also included a FY2012 budget request for the Joint Committee on Inaugural Activities, which the House did not. FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74.

y. Does not include offsetting collections.

z. This section prepared by Daniel Else. House data is from H.R. 2055, as passed by the House on June 16, 2011 (H.Rept. 112-94) and Senate data is from H.R. 2055 as amended and passed by the Senate on July 20, 2011(S.Rept. 112-29). FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74.

aa. Does not include either mandatory appropriations or advance appropriations for FY2013.

bb. This section was prepared by Marian Lawson. Senate data is from S. 1610, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on September 21, 2011 (see S.Rept. 112-85); House data is from un-numbered legislation approved by the House State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee on July 21, 2011 (see un-numbered report at http://appropriations.house.gov/UploadedFiles/FY12-SFOPSCombinedReport-CSBA.pdf). FY2012 enacted data is from H.Rept. 112-331/P.L. 112-74.

cc. Does not include $0.159 billion in each proposal for mandatory contributions to the Foreign Service Retirement account.

dd. Reflect offsetting collections of the Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, which exceed appropriated funds for these accounts..

ee. This section prepared by [author name scrubbed] and D. Randy Peterman. Information taken from H.Rept. 112-284 (for FY2011 enacted, FY2012 request, and FY2012 enacted), S.Rept. 112-83 (for FY2012 Senate), and draft documents available on the House Appropriations Committee website (for FY2012 House Draft). "Total" represents net total budgetary resources. Totals may not add up due to rounding and scorekeeping adjustments. Totals include emergency funding. Figures include advance appropriations provided in the bill, rather than advance appropriations that will become available in the fiscal year. The former are the amounts generally shown in committee press releases; the latter are the amounts against which the committee is generally "scored" for purposes of budget enforcement.

ff. Rescissions of prior year unobligated balances are reflected in the title totals, as are offsetting receipts, offsetting collections, and advance appropriations provided in the bill.

gg. $17.612 billion prior to rescission of prior-year funding.

hh. The House and Senate Committees on Appropriation counted a portion of the $50 billion "up-front" funding requested as part of the Administration's surface transportation reauthorization proposal—virtually all of which was requested from trust funds (which typically is not included under discretionary funding totals)—in their calculation of the Administration's FY2012 discretionary request total. CBO estimated the FY2012 discretionary request at $13.47 billion.

ii. Amount does not match amount from S.Rept. 112-83 because of a difference in the treatment of advance appropriations.

jj. Rescissions of prior year unobligated balances (including rescissions of contract authority) are already reflected in the title totals, so they are identified in this line but not subtracted out again.

kk. Amount does not include rescission of $0.650 billion of current year funding taken from prior year advance in the tenant-based rental assistance account. The "savings" from that rescission in reflected in the Title II total.

ll. Totals include $2.30 billion in emergency funding for disaster relief ($1.90 billion in Title I and $0.40 billion in Title II) provided by S. 1596.

mm. Totals include $1.8 billion in emergency funding for disaster relief ($1.662 billion for Transportation and $0.100 billion for HUD).
