[Pages H2382-H2384] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PUBLICATION OF BUDGETARY MATERIAL STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND REVENUES FOR FY 2021 House of Representatives, Committee on the Budget, Washington, DC, June 11, 2020. Dear Madam Speaker: To facilitate application of sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I am transmitting an updated status report on the current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2021. This status report is current through June 5, 2020. 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 1, 2020 for fiscal year 2021 and for the 10-year period of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. 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. The table does not show budget authority and outlays for fiscal years 2022 through 2030 because annual appropriations will not be considered for those years until future sessions of Congress. Table 2 shows the current status of discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 2021, which will be compared 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 [[Page H2383]] under that section equally applies to measures that would breach the applicable section 302(b) suballocation. Table 3 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 1, 2020, for fiscal year 2021, and for the 10-year period of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. 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). In addition, a letter from the Congressional Budget Office is attached that summarizes the budget impact of legislation enacted since May 1, 2020. In you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Wheelock or Raquel Spencer. Sincerely, John Yarmuth, Chairman.

Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include $646 million in estimated prior outlays. b For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the aggregate spending and revenue levels for 2021 published in the Congressional Record on May 1, 2020, by the Chair of the House Committee on the Budget pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (P.L. 116-37), do 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. c 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 lll and title IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and are excluded from current level totals. In addition, emergency funding that was not designated pursuant to the Deficit Control Act does not count for certain budgetary enforcement purposes. Those amounts, which are not included in the current level totals, are as follows: Budget authority Outlays Revenues Emergency Requirements: Paycheck Protection Program 0 0 -8,091 Flexibility Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-142)........................ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total, Emergency Requirements 0 0 -8,091 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ____________________
