DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES

1

EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES
‘‘DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES’’ contains various tables and schedules in support of the budget. It includes explanations of the work to be performed and the money needed.
It includes the language proposed for enactment by Congress
on each item for which congressional action in an appropriations bill is required. It also contains the language proposed
for the general provisions of appropriations acts that apply
to entire agencies or groups of agencies.

ARRANGEMENT
The first section of this chapter presents general provisions
of law that apply to all government activities (see explanation
below). Sections for the Legislative Branch and the Judiciary
follow. These are followed by sections for the Executive
Branch. Information on the Executive Office of the President
is presented first, followed by the cabinet departments in
alphabetical order, the larger nondepartmental agencies,
groupings for ‘‘International Assistance Programs’’ and ‘‘Other
Defense Civil Programs,’’ and the remaining agencies, under
the heading ‘‘Other Independent Agencies.’’ If the amounts
in the individual accounts for other independent agencies are
below the million-dollar reporting threshold applicable to data
in the Appendix, the data are consolidated into a single set
of schedules under ‘‘Other Commissions and Boards.’’ Appropriation language for these agencies is presented individually
under the same heading.
A section for a large agency is usually organized by major
subordinate organizations within the agency (usually bureaus)
or by major program area.
Within each bureau or major program area, accounts usually appear in the following order:
—general fund accounts with current budget authority, in
the following order: accounts for which appropriations are
requested for the budget year; accounts for which appropriations were made in the current year and not requested in the budget year; other unexpired accounts;
expired accounts;
—permanent general fund appropriations;
—special fund accounts with current budget authority, in
the following order: accounts for which appropriations are

requested for the budget year; accounts for which appropriations were made in the current year and not requested in the budget year; other unexpired accounts;
expired accounts;
—permanent special fund appropriations;
—public enterprise funds;
—intragovernmental revolving funds and management
funds;
—credit reform accounts, in the following order: program
account, financing account, and liquidating account;
—trust funds;
—trust revolving funds.
By law, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability
Insurance trust funds (Social Security) are outside the budget
totals. These accounts are presented in the Social Security
Administration section. Also, by law the Postal Service Fund
is outside the budget totals. A presentation for the Fund
is included in the Other Independent Agencies section.
General provisions are provisions in appropriations acts
that apply to more than one appropriation. In some instances,
they apply only to the appropriations for one agency. In other
instances, they apply to the appropriations for two or more
agencies covered by the act. In one instance, they apply to
all appropriations Government-wide. The proposed language
for general provisions that are only applicable to one agency
appears at the end of the section for that agency. The general
provisions that apply to two or more agencies, appear at
the end of the section for one of the agencies. The following
table indicates the location of all general provisions. The first
column of the table lists the most recently enacted appropriations and the major agencies responsible for programs funded
by each act. The second column provides the location of the
general provisions that apply to the agencies listed in the
first column. The general provisions that are Governmentwide in scope (identified ‘‘Departments, Agencies, and Corporations’’), normally contained in the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Act, appear in
a separate section following this one. Proposed changes to
general provisions are presented in the manner described
below for appropriations language.

FORM OF DETAILED MATERIAL
APPROPRIATIONS LANGUAGE

The language proposed for inclusion in the 1999 appropriations acts is printed following the account title. Language
for enacted 1998 appropriations, printed in roman type, is
used as a base. Brackets enclose material that is proposed
for deletion; italic type indicates proposed new language. If
the appropriation is being proposed for the first time, all
of the language is printed in italics. The amounts in appropriations language are stated in dollars. At the end of the
final language paragraph, and printed in italic within parentheses, are citations to any relevant authorizing legislation
and to the specific appropriations act from which the basic
text of the 1998 language is taken. An illustration of proposed
appropriations language for 1999 follows:
OPERATING EXPENSES
For necessary expenses of the Office of Climate Information,
ø$30,290,000¿ $28,870,000 of which ø$150,000¿ $400,000 shall remain available until expended. (34 U.S.C. 218 et seq.; Department
of Government Appropriation Act, 1997.)
BASIS FOR SCHEDULES

Dollar amounts in Appendix schedules are stated in millions, unless otherwise specified.
The 1997 column of this budget presents the actual transactions and balances for that year, as recorded in agency
accounts.
For 1998, the regular schedules include enacted appropriations. In addition, indefinite appropriations are included on
the basis of amounts likely to be required.
The 1999 column of the regular schedules includes proposed
appropriations for all programs under existing legislation, including those that require extension or renewal of expiring
laws.
Amounts for proposed new legislation are shown generally
in separate schedules, following the regular schedules or in
budget sequence in the respective bureau. These schedules

are identified as ‘‘Legislative proposals, subject to PAYGO’’
or ‘‘Legislative proposals not subject to PAYGO.’’ The term
‘‘PAYGO’’ refers to the ‘‘pay-as-you-go’’ requirements of the
Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. Appropriations language is
included with the regular schedules, but usually not with
the separate schedules for proposed legislation. Usually the
necessary appropriations language is transmitted later upon
enactment of the proposed legislation.
PROGRAM AND FINANCING SCHEDULE

This schedule provides the following information:
—obligations by program activity;
—budgetary resources available for obligation;
—detailed information on new budget authority (gross);
—change in unpaid obligations;
—detailed information on outlays (gross);
—offsets to gross budget authority and outlays; and
—net budget authority and outlays.
The ‘‘Obligations by program activity’’ section shows obligations for specific activities or projects. The activity structure
is developed for each appropriation or fund account to provide
a meaningful presentation of information for the program.
Where the amounts are significant, this section distinguishes
between operating expenses and capital investment and between direct and reimbursable programs. The last entry,
‘‘Total obligations,’’ indicates the amount of budgetary resources required to finance the activities of the account.
The ‘‘Budgetary resources available for obligation’’ section
shows the budgetary resources available or estimated to be
available to finance the obligations. The resources available
for obligation include the start-of-year unobligated balances
of a prior year that have not expired, new budget authority,
and adjusting entries, such as recoveries from prior year obligations. New obligations are subtracted from these resources,
resulting in the end-of-year unobligated balances.
The ‘‘New budget authority (gross), detail’’ section provides
detailed information on the total new budget authority available to finance the program. It includes information on the

5

DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES

type of budget authority that is available, rescissions, reductions, and amounts precluded from obligation.
The ‘‘Change in unpaid obligations’’ section shows the difference between obligations and outlays. New obligations are
added to the obligations that were incurred in a previous
year but not liquidated. Total disbursements (outlays, gross)
are subtracted from these amounts. Adjusting entries, such
as adjustments in expired accounts, are included, as appropriate, resulting in the end-of-year unpaid obligations. Where
applicable, this section separately identifies total unpaid obligations, orders on hand from Federal sources, and obligated
balances, which are the unpaid obligations less the orders
on hand from Federal sources.
The ‘‘Outlays (gross), detail’’ section indicates whether the
outlays pertain to current or permanent budget authority and
to balances or new authority.
The ‘‘Offsets and net budget authority and outlays’’ sections
indicate the amounts to be deducted from gross budget authority and outlays to arrive at the net budget authority
and outlay amounts. Offsetting collections (cash) and the
change in orders on hand from Federal sources are deducted
from gross budget authority; only offsetting collections (cash)
are deducted from gross outlays.

Balance Sheet

When obligations for personnel compensation are shown in
the object classification schedule, a personnel summary generally will follow the object classification schedule, as illustrated below:

The balance sheets show assets, liabilities, and equity for
the fund at the close of each fiscal year. In addition to this
information, which is similar to commercial balance sheet
data, budget needs also require additional information, shown
in the equity section. A disclosure is made of obligations incurred that have not yet accrued into liabilities (undelivered
orders) and of budgetary resources for which no funding has
been received (unfinanced budgetary resources). Unfinanced
budgetary resources include orders from Federal customers
that have not been filled (unfilled orders), and unfinanced
budget authority in the form of authority to borrow for which
borrowing has not taken place, and contract authority for
which liquidating cash has not been received. Orders received
from the public must be accompanied by advance payment.
The amounts in the 1996 column are audited. Other amounts
are unaudited and subject to change.

Federal civilian employment generally is stated on a fulltime equivalent (FTE) basis for the executive branch. It is
the total number of hours worked (or to be worked) divided
by the number of compensable hours applicable to each fiscal
year.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial statements are presented for activities specifically
required by the Government Corporation Control Act or other
legislation, all direct and guaranteed loan financing accounts
(balance sheets only), all Government-sponsored enterprise
funds, and generally for other revolving and trust revolving
funds conducting business with the public. They are occasionally presented for funds conducting business within the Government.
Statement of Operations

For many revolving funds there is a statement of operations
that shows the resulting net income or loss for the year.
This statement usually includes accrued revenue (e.g., revenue earned) and accrued expenditures (e.g., including costs
incurred but not yet paid), whether funded or unfunded. The
amounts in the 1996 column are audited.

FEDERAL CREDIT SCHEDULES

Federal credit programs provide benefits to the public in
the form of direct loans and loan guarantees. The Federal
Credit Reform Act of 1990 requires that the estimated costs
arising from the direct and guaranteed loans of a program
be calculated on a net present value basis, excluding administrative costs. For most programs, direct loan obligations and
loan guarantee commitments cannot be made unless appropriations for the cost have been provided in advance in annual
appropriations acts. In addition, annual limitations on the
amount of obligations and commitments may be enacted in
appropriations language.
Appropriations for costs are recorded as budget authority
in credit program accounts. The administrative expenses associated with a credit program are also financed in the program
account, but on a cash basis. All cash flows arising from
direct loan obligations and loan guarantee commitments are
recorded in separate financing accounts. The transactions of
the financing accounts are not included in the budget totals.
Program accounts make subsidy payments, recorded as on-

7

DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES

budget outlays, to the financing accounts at the time of the
disbursement of the direct or guaranteed loans.
The transactions associated with direct loan obligations and
loan guarantee commitments made prior to 1992 continue
to be accounted for on a cash flow basis and are recorded
in liquidating accounts. In most cases, the liquidating account
is the account that was used for the program prior to the
enactment of the 1990 requirements.
Program and Financing schedules (described above) are
shown for program, financing, and liquidating accounts. In
addition, a Summary of Loan Levels, Subsidy Budget Authority, and Outlays by Program schedule is shown for program
accounts. Status of Direct Loans and Status of Guaranteed
Loans schedules (as applicable) are shown for liquidating accounts and financing accounts. Examples of these schedules
are shown below. Summary information on Federal credit
programs is provided in the chapter entitled ‘‘Underwriting
Federal Credit and Insurance’’ in the Analytical Perspectives
volume.

UNAVAILABLE COLLECTIONS SCHEDULE
This schedule is printed for special fund and trust fund
accounts to show the amount of receipts that are credited
to them. It also shows any balances of unappropriated receipts or receipts that are precluded from obligation because
of a provision of law, such as a benefit formula or limitation
on obligations. The schedule also is printed for other types
of accounts with offsetting collections that are unavailable
for obligation because of limitations on obligations.

STATUS OF CONTRACT AUTHORITY
SCHEDULE
Contract authority is a form of budget authority that permits obligations to be incurred but requires a subsequent
appropriation to liquidate (pay) the obligation. Where applicable, this schedule follows the program and financing schedule

8

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

and reports the amount of contract authority for which appropriations to liquidate have not been provided or requested.

BUDGET PLAN SCHEDULE
This schedule is printed only for certain accounts in the
Department of Defense—Military chapter. It shows obligations incurred or estimated to be incurred from an appropriation, regardless of the timing of the obligation.

STATUS OF FUNDS SCHEDULE
This schedule reports balances, cash income, and cash outgo
for major trust funds and certain other accounts. When
present, it appears after the narrative statement for the fund
or account.

STATUS OF CONTINGENT EMERGENCY
FUNDING SCHEDULE
This schedule is printed for any account that has balances
of emergency appropriations that are contingent on the President submitting a budget request to Congress designating
an amount as an emergency requirement, as defined by the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,
as amended.

GENERAL FUND RECEIPT ACCOUNTS
SCHEDULE
This schedule shows the amount of receipts attributed to
an agency that are credited to the general fund of the Treas-

ury. It is printed at the end of the presentation for the agency, before any general provisions. (Receipts that are credited
to a special fund or trust fund for which the agency is responsible are shown in an Unavailable Collections schedule presented with other schedules for the fund.)

ALLOCATIONS BETWEEN AGENCIES
In some cases, funds appropriated to the President or to
an agency are allocated to one or more agencies that help
to carry out a program. Obligations incurred under such allocations are included in the data for the account to which
the appropriation is made in the allocating agency. The object
classification schedule for such accounts identifies the amount
of such obligations by performing agency. A note at the end
of a bureau or equivalent grouping identifies allocations received from other agencies.

BUDGETS NOT SUBJECT TO REVIEW
In accordance with law or established practice, the presentations for the Legislative Branch, the Judiciary, the Milk
Market Orders Assessment Fund of the Department of Agriculture, the Farm Credit Administration, and the International Trade Commission have been included, without review, in the amounts submitted by the agencies.
The budgets of the privately owned Government-sponsored
enterprises and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, are not subject to review; they are included
for information purposes only.
