[Pages S2205-S2206] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 20l9, P.L. 116- 37, included an instruction to the chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to file allocations, aggregates, and budgetary levels in the Senate between April 15, 2020, and May 15, 2020. Today, I rise to submit the required filing to fulfill that instruction. Specifically, section 205 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 requires the chairman to file: (1) allocations for fiscal year 2021 for the Committee on Appropriations; (2) allocations for fiscal years 2021, 2021 through 2025, and 2021 through 2030 for committees other than the Committee on Appropriations; (3) aggregate spending levels for fiscal year 2021; (4) aggregate revenue levels for fiscal year 2021, 2021 through 2025, and 2021 through 2030; and (5) aggregate levels of outlays and revenue for fiscal years 2021, 2021 through 2025, and 2021 through 2030 for Social Security. The figures included in this filing are consistent with the discretionary spending limits set forth in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 and the Congressional Budget Office's March 2020 baseline, as adjusted to reflect legislation enacted since the publication of the baseline. Enforceable figures in this filing exclude the direct budgetary effects of provisions in legislation enacted after the release of the baseline that were designated as an emergency pursuant to section 4112 of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget resolution, H.Con.Res. 71, 115th Congress, which excludes those effects from calculations related to sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. In instances where enforceable discretionary levels are required to be adjusted for spending designated as an emergency pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, those adjustments are included. In addition to the update for enforceable limits above, section 205 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 allows for the deficit-neutral reserve funds included in title III of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget resolution to be updated by 3 fiscal years. Pursuant to this authority, all deficit-neutral reserve funds in the aforementioned title of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget resolution are updated and available for use. For purposes of enforcing the Senate's, pay-as-you-go rule, which is found in section 4106 of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget resolution, I am resetting the Senate's scorecard to zero for all fiscal years. All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years. I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables detailing enforcement in the Senate be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: ALLOCATION OF SPENDING AUTHORITY TO SENATE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 (Pursuant to Section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and Section 205 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019) ($ in billions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budget authority Outlays ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Appropriations: Revised Security Category Discretionary Budget Authority \1\.......... 671.500 n/a Revised Nonsecurity Category Discretionary Budget Authority \1\....... 626.500 n/a General Purpose Outlays \1\........................................... n/a 1,584.277 Memo: Subtotal.............................................................. 1,298.000 1,584.277 On-budget............................................................. 1,292.349 1,578.566 Off-budget............................................................ 5.651 5.711 Mandatory............................................................. 1,175.792 1,155.439 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ The allocation will be adjusted following the reporting of bills, offering of amendments, or submission of conference reports that qualify for adjustments to the discretionary spending limits as outlined in section 251 (b) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA).
