(a) In general.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for each provision described in column 1 in the table specified in subsection (b), the following rules shall apply:

(1) DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS.—

(A) CONVERSION TO AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS.—For each such provision that provides for a direct appropriation of funds for fiscal year 2012 or a subsequent fiscal year and for which special rule #1 or special rule #2 does not apply under column 3 of such table, such appropriation is deemed only to be an authorization of appropriations and amounts are available under such provision only pursuant to appropriations made after the date of the enactment of this Act.

(B) RESCISSION OF UNOBLIGATED APPROPRIATIONS.—Of the funds available pursuant to a direct appropriation under such provision for which special rule #1 or special rule #2 does not apply under column 3 of such table, the unobligated balance is rescinded.

(2) FUND TRANSFERS.—

(A) CONVERSION TO AUTHORIZATION OF TRANSFER SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATIONS.—For each such provision that provides for a transfer of funds for fiscal year 2012 or a subsequent fiscal year, such transfer is deemed only to be an authorization of such transfer in such amounts as are provided in advance in appropriations acts enacted after the date of the enactment of this Act.

(B) RESTORATION OF TRANSFERRED FUNDS.—Amounts transferred under such provision which have not been obligated as of the date of the enactment of this Act shall be restored to the Trust Fund or other fund from which they were transferred.

(3) SPECIAL RULES.—

(A) SPECIAL RULE #1 FOR CERTAIN EXTENSIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS BEGINNING AFTER FISCAL YEAR 2011.—For each such provision for which column 3 of such table specifies that special rule #1 applies, the amendment (or amendments) made by the section in column 2 is repealed and such provision is restored as if PPACA had not been enacted.

(B) SPECIAL RULE #2 FOR CERTAIN EXTENSIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS BEGINNING BEFORE FISCAL YEAR 2012.—For each such provision for which column 3 of such table specifies that special rule #2 applies—

(i) the amendment (or amendments) made by the section in column 2 is repealed and such provision is restored as if PPACA had not been enacted, except that such repeal shall not apply to fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011; and
