BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, BBEDCA, establishes statutory
limits on discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to
those limits. In addition, sections 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 allow the Chairman of the Budget Committee to
establish and make revisions to allocations, aggregates, and levels
consistent with those adjustments.
The Senate will soon consider H.R. 8337, the Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act. This measure
includes two provisions, found in sections 126 and 163, that are
designated as being for emergency purposes pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA. The Congressional Budget Office estimates
that these provisions will have no net effect on budget authority but
would result in $92 million in outlays in fiscal year 2021.
As a result of the emergency designations, I am revising the outlay
allocation to the Committee on Appropriations by $92 million in fiscal
year 2021. Further, I am increasing the budgetary outlay aggregate for
fiscal year 2021 by equivalent amounts.
I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables, which provide
details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
