Comparing DHS Component Funding Proposals, FY2022: In Brief

he Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act includes all annual
appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), providing resources to
T every departmental component. Its accompanying conference report or explanatory
statement provides guidance for the department in terms of how DHS should account for
reprogramming and transferring a range of non-appropriated funds as well. Together, they form a
snapshot of a significant amount of the DHS budget. This report reviews that snapshot at the DHS
component level, comparing:
 the budget authority outlined in the FY2021 annual appropriations measure;
 annual appropriations requested by the Joseph R. Biden Administration for
FY2022;
 funding levels recommended by the House Appropriations Committee in H.R.
4431 and H.Rept. 117-87;
 funding levels proposed by the Senate Appropriations Committee in the
committee draft released on October 18, 2021, and its accompanying explanatory
statement;1 and
 annual appropriations enacted in P.L. 117-103, the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2022, Division F of which is the Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2022.
The report makes note of supplemental appropriations provided through various measures for
FY2021 and FY2022, but identifies such funding distinctly, to allow for clear comparison on the
annual appropriations packages. The report makes special note of “net discretionary
appropriations” for DHS—a perspective on the net impact the legislation that funds DHS has on
congressionally-tracked budget totals.2
The FY2022 DHS Appropriations Process
Annual Appropriations
On May 28, 2021, the Joseph R. Biden Administration released its annual budget request for
FY2022, including a $90.80 billion budget request for the Department of Homeland Security. By
CBO’s initial estimation, the request included $53.99 billion in adjusted net discretionary
appropriations and $18.80 billion in disaster relief-designated funds.3 This was $1.11 billion more
than was enacted for DHS in FY2021, although those FY2021 annual appropriations also
included $840 million in emergency funding to cover U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
fee shortfalls not included in the total.
 On June 30, 2021, the House Committee on Appropriations marked up H.R.
4431, its version of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act,

1 Although the Senate Appropriations Department of Homeland Security Subcommittee chairman introduced an
identical bill a week later, as the bill did not proceed through the markup process and therefore has no associated report
or detail table, the analysis in this report continues to refer to the draft and its explanatory statement.
2 When dealing with bill totals, the report refers to “adjusted annual net discretionary appropriations,” which take into
account the offsetting impact of rescissions or cancellations of budget authority provided in prior years. Neither of the
discretionary appropriations totals include emergency or disaster relief-designated funding.
3 This total evolved over the course of the process, owing in part to the changes in unobligated balances available for
rescission. Analyses in the report refer to the CBO’s estimates as outlined in the detail table at the end of H.Rept. 117-
87.

2022. H.Rept. 117-87 was filed on July 15, 2022. Committee-reported H.R. 4431
included $52.80 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority. This was
$183 million below the level requested by the Administration and $928 million
above the FY2021 enacted level.
H.R. 4431 was not brought to the House floor before the end of FY2021—one of two annual
appropriations measure for FY2022 to be reported by the committee that did not get floor
consideration. As no annual appropriations for FY2022 had been signed into law before the end
of FY2021, a continuing resolution was enacted (P.L. 117-143), temporarily extending funding
for the federal government. Table 1 summarizes the continuing appropriations provided for DHS
in FY2022. For further information on the FY2022 continuing resolutions, see CRS Report
R46953, Overview of Continuing Appropriations for FY2022 (P.L. 117-43).

Comparing DHS Component Funding Proposals, FY2022: In Brief

On October 18, 2021, Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Senator Patrick Leahy released
drafts of nine appropriations measures that had yet to be marked up by the committee, along with
draft explanatory statements for each.4 Vice Chairman5 Senator Richard Shelby criticized the
move as partisan and unilateral, and indicated he would not support the bills, and that an
agreement on overall spending levels was needed to produce bills he would support.6 A week
later, S. 3058, an identical bill, was introduced by Senate Appropriations Committee
Subcommittee on the Department of Homeland Security Chairman Senator Christopher Murphy.
The Senate Appropriations majority draft bill for DHS for FY2022 included $52.92 billion in
adjusted net discretionary budget authority. This was $70 million below the level requested by the
Administration, and $1.04 billion above the enacted annual level for FY2021.
On March 9, 2022, the House took up a consolidated appropriations measure as an amendment to
H.R. 2471 (an unrelated bill). After dividing the question, the House passed the portion with
Division F, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2022 by a vote of 361-69.7
The Senate agreed to the House amendment the next day by a vote of 68-31,8 and President Biden
signed the measure into law on March 15, 2022, as P.L. 117-103. Division F included $57.50
billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority. This was $5.03 billion above the level
requested by the Administration, and $5.62 billion above the enacted level for FY2021.
Supplemental Appropriations
On a separate track, on August 1, 2021, S.Amdt. 2137 was introduced in the Senate. This measure
was a substitute for H.R. 3684, a House-passed infrastructure measure. The amendment, which
was adopted by a vote of 68-28 on August 8, had been developed as a compromise infrastructure
package that could pass the Senate. The amended bill passed the Senate by a vote of 68-30 on
August 10, 2021, passed the House 228-206 on November 5, and was signed into law as P.L. 117-
58 on November 15. Division J of the P.L. 117-58 included a range of supplemental
appropriations, including a total of $7.96 billion for DHS, $3.08 billion of which would be
available in FY2022.9
Aside from the two sets of supplemental appropriations provided in parallel with continuing
resolutions noted above, additional supplemental funding for DHS is still pending before
Congress. H.R. 5376—a reconciliation package that passed the House 220-213 on November 19,
2021—includes
 $400 million for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
for several cybersecurity programs (Sec. 50001);
 $100 million for FEMA for cybersecurity grants (Sec. 50002);

 $100 million for FEMA for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (Sec. 50003);
 $900 million for the DHS Management Directorate for environmental and
sustainability programs (Sec. 50004);
 $100 million for FEMA for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, and its
administrative expenses (Sec. 90005);
 $150 million for FEMA grants to support updating building codes (Sec. 110008);
 $650 million the Coast Guard for climate resilient facilities (Sec. 110011);
 $350 million for a new Great Lakes icebreaker (Sec. 110012); and
 $20.5 billion in debt cancellation for the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP), and $600 million for an NFIP affordability program. (Sec. 40104).
It remains to be seen if this bill will become law in its present form; this potential funding is not
included in the analyses below.
DHS Budgetary Resources: Beyond the Score
Discussion regarding annual appropriations often centers on the appropriations provided in the
bill or how the bill scores against budget limitations. However, this “score” does not represent the
total budget authority provided to DHS, or controlled through appropriations bills and reports.
 The use of offsetting collections reduces the “score” of the bill and provides
significant resources to some components of DHS, such as the Transportation
Security Administration.
 Discretionary scores of bills do not include mandatory spending, resources
derived directly from fee collections without annual congressional action, or
emergency- or disaster relief-designated appropriations.
Congress controls the reprogramming of many of these resources through detail tables provided
at the end of appropriations committee reports, conference reports, and statements of managers.
Figure 1 uses the data drawn from these detail tables to provide a more comprehensive picture of
the resources available to seven DHS operational components—the seven largest components of
DHS in terms of net discretionary budget authority:
 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP),
 the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG),
 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
 U.S. Secret Service (USSS), and
 the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
In Figure 1 these seven components are listed along the bottom axis. Each component’s funding
level as a section of the figure has five bars, representing the different phases of the
appropriations process: prior-year (i.e., FY2021) enacted, current year (i.e., FY2022) requested
annual appropriations, the ensuing responses of the House and Senate appropriations committees,
and the annual appropriations provided in the enacted consolidated appropriations measure.

The base segment of each bar represents net discretionary budget authority. On top of these bases
are several other segment types, representing offsetting collections, programs paid for directly by
fees, mandatory appropriations,10 funding covered by disaster relief and emergency designations
in annual appropriations, and supplemental appropriations.11
Figure 1 allows for a visual comparison of changes in individual component funding and
provides a more complete description of each component’s overall resource level than a review of
the net discretionary appropriations alone. Among the changes it illuminates are:
 The relative magnitude of disaster spending (which encompasses the mandatory,
disaster relief designated, and most of the supplemental funding for FEMA)
compared with other DHS funding priorities—FEMA’s FY2021 total requires a
scaled inset to fully display it;
 The reduced fee-funding of CBP programs being made up for by additional
appropriations;
 The breadth of supplemental appropriations provided across the department in
FY2021 and FY2022;
 The relative similarities of component level funding allocations between the
House-reported and Senate majority-drafted bills (slightly more for CBP and
USCG in the House-reported bill, slightly more for FEMA and CISA in the
Senate majority-drafted bill);
 The continued growth of CISA, although it remains one of the smaller
operational components within DHS.
Table 2, which follows immediately thereafter, provides a complete breakdown of the total
budget authority provided for FY2022 outlined in appropriations committee tables for all DHS
components, arranged by FY2021 enacted annual net discretionary budget authority.
Some DHS components have access to funding beyond the budget authority controlled for
reprogramming through the aforementioned detail tables in appropriations committee reports.
Although some of the mandatory spending for DHS, including many fee-funded programs, is
reflected in the tables, much of DHS’s mandatory spending is not, and is therefore not reflected in
Figure 1 or Table 2. This includes spending on flood insurance claims, as well as trust funds for
the Coast Guard and the Secret Service. Information on this type of mandatory spending can be
found in the Administration’s budget request.12
Likewise, the detail tables and the figures and tables based upon them in this report do not reflect
reimbursements between components for services provided, such as payments from partner
agencies to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for the cost of training programs.
Information on these resources can be found in the DHS annual budget justifications submitted to
Congress.13

10 Usually the mandatory spending reflected here is composed of two elements: Coast Guard retired pay, which is
considered mandatory spending but requires congressional action nonetheless; and $250 million from the Aviation
Security Capital Fund. However, FY2021 also includes mandatory funding from P.L. 117-2, the American Rescue Plan
Act, which included resources for FEMA and CISA.

Exceptions to the Budget Control Act’s Discretionary Spending Limits, by Megan S. Lynch.

DHS Appropriations: Comparing Scores
It is often useful to present comparative analysis to put enacted annual funding levels for given
DHS components in context. Table 3 shows net discretionary annual FY2022 appropriations for
DHS distributed by departmental component in comparison to two common baselines.
The table presents an analysis of a component’s net discretionary annual appropriations—
appropriations provided from the Treasury that are not offset by other incoming resources or
given special exemption.14 Comparison is drawn between two common baselines that are shown
in Table 1—the FY2021 enacted funding level and the FY2022 requested funding level. The first
column of figures shows the FY2022 enacted annual net discretionary amount for each
component. Changes from that level are reflected in thousands of dollars, and then as a
percentage. The components are ordered from largest to smallest by FY2022 enacted funding
level.
FY2021 and FY2022 supplemental appropriations are not reflected in Table 3. The purpose of the
table is to provide comparative perspectives on annual appropriations levels, as well as to
improve understanding of comparative annual appropriations levels across the department, rather
than to survey total resources provided by Congress, which can be seen in Figure 1 and Table 2.

disaster relief designation. These designations exempt such funding from being counted against discretionary budget
limits.
