  status report on current spending levels of on-budget spending and 
                          revenues for fy 2019

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                     Washington, DC, July 9, 2019.
       Dear Madam Speaker: To facilitate application of sections 
     302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I am 
     transmitting

[[Page H5294]]

     an updated status report on the current levels of on-budget 
     spending and revenues for fiscal year 2019. This status 
     report is current through July 1, 2019. The term ``current 
     level'' refers to the amounts of spending and revenues 
     estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or 
     awaiting the President's signature.
       Table 1 compares the current levels of total budget 
     authority, outlays, and revenues to the overall limits filed 
     in the Congressional Record on May 10, 2018, as adjusted, for 
     fiscal year 2019. These comparisons are needed to implement 
     section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which 
     establishes a rule enforceable with a point of order against 
     measures that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate 
     levels.
       Table 2 compares the current levels of budget authority and 
     outlays for legislative action completed by each authorizing 
     committee with the limits filed in the Congressional Record 
     on May 10, 2018, for fiscal year 2019. These comparisons are 
     needed to enforce the point of order under section 302(f) of 
     the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits the 
     consideration of measures that would breach the section 
     302(a) allocation of new budget authority for the committee 
     that reported the measure. It is also needed to implement 
     section 311(c), which provides an exception for committees 
     that comply with their allocations from the point of order 
     under section 311(a).
       Table 3 compares the current status of discretionary 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2019 with the section 302(b) 
     suballocations of discretionary budget authority and outlays 
     among Appropriations subcommittees. The comparison is needed 
     to enforce section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 because the point of order under that section equally 
     applies to measures that would breach the applicable section 
     302(b) suballocation. The table also provides supplementary 
     information on spending in excess of the base discretionary 
     spending limits allowed under section 251(b) of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       Table 4 displays the current level of advance 
     appropriations in fiscal year 2019 appropriations bills. All 
     of the advance appropriations are for accounts identified 
     pursuant to H. Res; 6 and the statement of the Chairman 
     published in the Congressional Record on January 8, 2019. 
     This table is needed to enforce a rule against appropriations 
     bills containing advance appropriations that:
       (i) are not identified in the statement of the Chairman 
     published in the Congressional Record on January 8, 2019 or 
     (ii) would cause the aggregate amount of such appropriations 
     to exceed the level specified in section 103{c) of H. Res. 6.
       In addition, a letter from the Congressional Budget Office 
     is attached that summarizes and compares the budget impact of 
     legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget 
     resolution against the budget resolution aggregate in force.
       If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Wheelock 
     or Raquel Spencer.
           Sincerely,
                                                     John Yarmuth,
                                                         Chairman.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                     Washington, DC, July 8, 2019.
     Hon. John Yarmuth,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2019 budget and is 
     current through July 1, 2019. This report is submitted under 
     section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the allocations, aggregates, and other 
     budgetary levels printed in the Congressional Record on May 
     10, 2018, pursuant to section 30104 of the Bipartisan Budget 
     Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123), and section 103(m) of House 
     Resolution 6 of the 116th Congress.
       Since our last letter dated February 27, 2019, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following 
     legislation that has significant effects on budget authority 
     and outlays in fiscal year 2019:
       Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act of 2018 
     (Public Law 116-8);
       Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019 
     (Public Law 116-16);
       Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief 
     Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-20);
       Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian 
     Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019 
     (Public Law 116-26); and
       A bill to provide for a 2-week extension of the Medicaid 
     community mental health services demonstration program, and 
     for other purposes (S. 2047).
           Sincerely,
                                                Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.

n.a. = not applicable; P.L. = public law.
a Includes the budgetary effects of legislation enacted by Congress during the 115th Congress.
b Sections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) require that certain funding provided for 2017
  through 2026 to the Department of Health and Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration
  and the National Institutes of Health--be excluded from estimates for the purposes of the Balanced Budget and
  Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act) or the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include $781 million in budget authority and $770 million
  in estimated outlays.
c For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the resolution, as
  approved by the House of Representatives, does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-
  budget amounts. As a result, amounts in this current level report do not include those items.

d The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-5), as amended, extended several immigration programs
  through February 15, 2019, that would otherwise have expired at the end of fiscal year 2018. The estimated
  budgetary effects of those previously enacted extensions are charged to the Committee on Appropriations, and
  are included in the budgetary effects of P.L. 116-6 shown in the ``Appropriation Legislation'' portion of this
  report. In addition, division H of P.L. 116-6 further extended those same programs through the end of fiscal
  year 2019. Consistent with the language in title III of division H of P.L. 116-6, and at the direction of the
  House Committee on the Budget, the budgetary effects of extending those immigration programs for the remainder
  of the fiscal year are charged to the relevant authorizing committees, and are shown in the ``Authorizing
  Legislation'' portion of this report.
e In the House of Representatives, and pursuant to section 314(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974,
  amounts designated as an emergency requirement shall not count for purposes of title III and title IV of the
  Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and are excluded from current level totals. The table below displays
  emergency-designated funding enacted during the 116th Congress which are excluded from current level totals.
  (Those amounts do not include $1,680 million in budget authority and $25 million in outlays stemming from P.L.
  115-254, which was enacted during the 115th Congress):

f Section 30104 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) required--in the absence of a concurrent
  resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2019--that the Chair of the House Committee on the Budget publish the
  aggregate spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2019; those aggregate levels were first published in the
  Congressional Record on May 10, 2018. P.L. 115-123 also allows the Chair of the House Committee on the Budget
  to revise the budgetary aggregates:
