I. An advance appropriation is one made to become available one fiscal year or more beyond the fiscal year for which
the appropriation act is passed. Advance appropriations in
fiscal year 2001 appropriations acts will become available for
programs in 2002 or beyond. Since these appropriations are
not available until after fiscal year 2001, the amounts will
not be included in fiscal year 2001 budget totals, but will
be reflected in the budget totals for the fiscal year for which
they are requested.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (31 U.S.C.
1105(a)(17)) requires inclusion in the budget of ‘‘information
on estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year following
the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted for grants,
contracts, and other payments under each program for which
there is an authorization of appropriations for that following
fiscal year when the appropriations are authorized to be included in an appropriation law for the fiscal year before the
fiscal year in which the appropriation is to be available for
obligation.’’ In fulfillment of this requirement, the table below
lists those accounts authorized to receive, in fiscal year 2001,
advance appropriations for fiscal year 2002 and beyond and
cites the authorizing statute. The listing is in two parts: Part
A shows the amounts of advance appropriations included in
the 2001 budget. Part B is a listing of accounts for which
advance appropriations are authorized but not requested in
the 2001 budget.
The Administration proposes to work with the Congress
to replace certain advance appropriations with up-front budget authority for the full amount of the program. This proposal
is discussed further in Chapter 13, ‘‘Preview Report,’’ of the
Analytical Perspectives volume of the budget.
A. Accounts for which advance appropriations are included in the
2001 budget:
Department of Agriculture:
National forest system (16 U.S.C. 4601–6a(i)): $15 million

2002; $88 million for 2003.

of the Budget.
2 These statutes erroneously refer to ‘‘advance funding’’. Since these statutes describe
and clearly intend to provide advance appropriations, the affected accounts are listed here.

II. Advance funding is budget authority that is to be
charged to the appropriation in the succeeding year but which
authorizes obligations to be incurred in the last quarter of
the fiscal year if necessary to meet higher than anticipated
benefit payments in excess of the specific amount appropriated for the year. When such budget authority is used,
an adjustment is made to increase the budget authority for
the fiscal year in which it is used and to reduce the budget
authority of the succeeding fiscal year. Essentially, this is
a device for avoiding supplemental requests late in the fiscal
year for certain programs, should the appropriations for the
current year prove to be low. The table below lists those
accounts for which advance funding authority is requested
in the 2001 budget.

Department of Labor:

Federal unemployment benefits and allowances.
Department of Veterans Affairs:
Veterans insurance and indemnities.
Burial benefits and miscellaneous assistance.
Readjustment benefits.

III. Forward funding is budget authority that is made available for obligation beginning in the last quarter of the fiscal
year for the financing of ongoing grant programs during the
next succeeding fiscal year. The budget authority for such
programs is included in the budget totals for the year in
which it is appropriated. This device is often used for education programs, so that grants can be made on a school
year basis. The language providing forward funding for education programs will specify that amounts appropriated, in
most but not all cases, will not be available until some time
into the year of the appropriation (e.g., July 1, 2001) and
in most cases will specify that such amounts will remain
available until the end of the succeeding fiscal year. In other
cases (e.g., Federal Pell grants), the funds become available
on October 1st but are not normally obligated until July 1st
or later and are available for obligation for an additional
year. The table below lists those accounts for which forward
funding exists or is requested in whole or in part in the
2001 budget.
Department of Education:
Education reform.
Education for the disadvantaged.
School improvement programs.
Education reform.
Reading excellence.
Special education.
Vocational and adult education.
Student financial assistance.
Educational research, statistics, and improvement.
Department of the Interior:
Operation of Indian programs.

In the training and employment area, forward funding for
youth training grant programs provides appropriations for a
program year that starts on April 1st of the fiscal year of
the appropriation. Financing extends through June 30th of
the following fiscal year. For most other training and employment programs, forward funding provides appropriations for
a program year that starts on July 1st of the fiscal year
of the appropriation. Financing extends through June 30th
of the following fiscal year. Program years are authorized
for training programs under the Workforce Investment Act
and operation of the State Employment Service under section
6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act. The table below lists accounts
for which forward funding is requested in the 2001 budget.
Department of Labor:
Training and employment services.
State unemployment insurance and employment service operations.
