Profile of the Economy
[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]
As of February 11, 2014

Introduction
The pace of real gross domestic product (GDP) growth
decelerated in the fourth quarter, after a strong pace of
growth in the third quarter. A slower pace of private
inventory accumulation in particular contributed to the
deceleration, along with declines in federal government
spending and residential investment as well as slower
growth in business fixed investment. These factors were
partially offset by faster growth in consumer spending and
exports. Job creation continued at a moderate and somewhat
faster pace, on average, during the fourth quarter of 2013,
and also picked up slightly in January 2014. The economy
has added 8.5 million private sector jobs since job growth
resumed in early 2010, and the unemployment rate has
declined 3.4 percentage points from its peak level of 10
percent in October 2009, but remained elevated at 6.6
percent as of January 2014. Conditions in the housing sector
continued to improve, despite a net increase in mortgage
interest rates.
Although the Administration has taken a number of steps
in recent years to promote stronger economic growth in the
near-term, it has also pursued deficit reduction measures in
the interests of the nation’s longer-term growth. More than
$2.7 trillion in deficit reduction measures have been enacted
over the past 2-½ years, including the January 2013
enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA),
which will reduce the deficit by an estimated $737 billion
over the next 10 years. Since fiscal year 2009, the federal
budget deficit has fallen from a peak of 9.8 percent of GDP
to 4.1 percent in fiscal year 2013.
At its most recent meeting in January 2014, the Federal
Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
announced it would maintain the target range for the federal
funds rate as well as existing programs for reinvestment of
principal payments and roll-overs of maturing Treasuries at
auction. However, it also announced a further tapering of
asset purchases starting in February, beyond the amounts
announced at the December 2013 meeting (that were
implemented in January).

Economic Growth
Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the
economy has grown by about 11 percent and, as of the
fourth quarter of 2013, real GDP was 6.5 percent above its
level at the end of 2007, when the recession began.
According to the advance estimate, real GDP rose 3.2
percent at an annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2013,
after increasing by 4.1 percent in the third quarter of this
year. The deceleration in growth in the latest quarter largely
reflected a slower pace of inventory investment relative to a

large build in the third quarter. Federal government outlays
fell sharply, as did residential investment, while
nonresidential investment grew more slowly. These factors
were partly offset by faster growth in consumer spending
and a larger contribution from net exports. Consensus
forecasts currently put real GDP growth in the first quarter
of 2014 at a 2.2 percent annual rate.
Private domestic final demand (consumption plus private
fixed investment, considered a better measure of underlying
private demand because it subtracts out government
spending, inventory movements, and net exports) grew at a
2.9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, accelerating
from the third quarter’s 2.7 percent pace. Real personal
consumption expenditures—which account for about 70
percent of GDP—rose at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the
fourth quarter, faster than the 2.0 percent rise in the third
quarter. Consumption added 2.3 percentage points to real
GDP growth in the latest quarter.
Residential investment—mostly residential homebuilding—declined 9.8 percent in the fourth quarter,
decelerating sharply from the 10.3 percent pace in the third
quarter. Residential activity shaved 0.3 percentage point
from fourth-quarter real GDP growth. The fourth quarter
decline was the first in 3 years; growth in residential
investment had averaged just over 11 percent per quarter for
the previous 12 consecutive quarters. Significantly,
residential investment grew by nearly 13 percent in 2012,
the strongest yearly increase since 1992.
Noteworthy progress has been made in the housing
market for the past 18 months, as captured by several
measures. After reaching a 5-½ year high in November,
single-family housing starts fell 7.0 percent in December
2013 to 667,000 units at an annual rate, but were still 7.6
percent above the level in December 2012. The level of
March 2014

4

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

single-family starts has risen by almost 90 percent from a
low of 353,000 in March 2009, but in December 2013, it
remained about 63 percent below the January 2006 peak,
and well below the 1.1 million unit average observed from
1980 to 2004. Sales of new single-family homes have risen
by 4.5 percent over the past year, reaching 414,000 at an
annual rate in December 2013. Sales of existing singlefamily homes (94 percent of all home sales) fell 0.6 percent
over the past year to 4.87 million at an annual rate in
December 2013. The inventory of homes available for sale
has trended lower. Relative to sales, there was a 5.0-month
supply of new homes on the market in December, near its
long-run average. The inventory of existing single-family
homes has also fallen noticeably, relative to sales. In
December, it stood at a 4.6-month supply, down
considerably from a peak of 12.1 months in June 2010.
House price measures continue to rise, reflecting a pick-up
in demand and tight inventories in some markets. The FHFA
purchase-only house price index rose 0.1 percent in
November to its highest level in over 5 years, and was up 7.6
percent over the past year. This was the 10th consecutive
year-over-year gain of more than 7 percent; price increases
in recent months have been the strongest since 2006. In
November 2013, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller
composite 20-city home price index increased 0.9 percent to
its highest level since July 2008, and rose 13.8 percent yearover-year, the largest year-over-year gain since January
2006. Reflecting optimism in the housing market, the
February 2014 Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey
predicted that on average, home prices will rise by 4.5
percent through the fourth quarter of 2014.
Nonresidential fixed investment—about 12 percent of
GDP—grew 3.8 percent (annual rate) in the fourth quarter of
2013, slowing from the 4.8 percent advance in the third
quarter. The slowdown in business fixed investment
primarily reflected a large swing in outlays for structures,
which fell 1.2 percent in the fourth quarter after advancing
13.4 percent in the third quarter. Growth in business
spending on equipment accelerated, rising nearly 7 percent
in the fourth quarter after edging up 0.2 percent in the third
quarter. Investment in intellectual property products-a new
category that includes outlays for software, research and
development, and entertainment, literary and artistic
originals-grew 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter, after a 5.8
percent rise in the third quarter. Altogether, nonresidential
fixed investment added 0.5 percentage point to real GDP
growth in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with a 0.6
percentage point contribution in the third quarter. Inventory
accumulation made a smaller but positive contribution to
growth in the fourth quarter, adding 0.4 percentage point to
GDP growth, after making a 1.7 percentage point
contribution in the third quarter.
Exports account for about 13 percent of GDP, while
imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending
to calculate GDP) account for about 17 percent. After
contributing nearly 1 percentage point, on average, to

March 2014

quarterly GDP growth in 2007 through 2009, net exports
subtracted 0.6 percentage point in 2010, and then added 0.1
percentage point in 2011, 2012, and 2013. In the fourth
quarter of 2013, the net export deficit narrowed as exports
rose 11.4 percent, far exceeding the 0.9 percent increase in
imports. Net exports added 1.3 percentage point to GDP
growth in the fourth quarter, after adding 0.1 percentage
point to growth in the third quarter.
The current account balance (reflecting international
trade in goods and services, investment income flows, and
unilateral transfers) has been in deficit almost continuously
since the early 1980s and, in 2006, reached a record $798
billion, equivalent to 5.8 percent of GDP. After narrowing to
$382 billion (2.6 percent of GDP) in 2009, the current
account deficit widened again to $449 billion (3.0 percent of
GDP) in 2010 and to $458 billion (2.9 percent of GDP) in
2011. It narrowed in 2012, to $440 billion, or 2.7 percent of
GDP. As of the third quarter of 2013, the current account
deficit had narrowed further, to $379 billion, or 2.2 percent
of GDP
Government purchases—which account for close to 20
percent of GDP—fell nearly 5 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2013, swinging from a 0.4 percent increase in the third
quarter of the year. Government outlays for consumption
and investment have fallen in 13 of the past 17 quarters and,
in the fourth quarter of this year, subtracted 0.9 percentage
point from GDP growth. Federal spending plunged 12.6
percent in the fourth quarter after a 1.5 percent decline in the
third quarter. After 10 straight quarterly declines in State and
local government spending—the longest period of falling
expenditures at this level of government in postwar
history—State and local spending grew 0.6 percent in the
second quarter of 2012, but fell again in the subsequent three
quarters. However, State and local spending has grown in
each of the most recent three quarters, including a 0.5
percent increase in the fourth quarter, after a 1.7 percent rise
in the third quarter. This was the first three consecutive
quarters of positive contribution at the State and local
government level since 2009.

Labor Markets
During the recession (from December 2007 through June
2009), the economy lost 7.7 million private-sector jobs. Job
losses continued even after the recovery began but, in
February 2010, nonfarm payrolls began to rise again. Since
then, through January 2014, total nonfarm payroll
employment has grown by about 7.8 million. In the private
sector, employment has increased by 8.5 million during the
same period.
Job losses during the recession were spread broadly
across most sectors but, with the resumption of job growth,
all of these sectors have added jobs. Since the labor market
recovery began in early 2010, payrolls in professional and
business services have risen by about 2.3 million, and the
leisure and hospitality industries’ employment has increased
by just over 1.5 million through January 2014. Although

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

growth in manufacturing payrolls has fluctuated in the last
several months, payrolls in this sector have expanded by
622,000 since early 2010. A few sectors continued to add
jobs throughout the recession and still continue to hire new
workers: since early 2010, the health care and social
assistance sector has created an additional 1.2 million jobs.
The government sector also added workers to payrolls
during the recession, but the State and local sectors have
since cut employment considerably, and after a brief
reversal, losses have resumed in recent months. From
February 2010 through January 2014, the government
sector’s job losses totaled 667,000. Over that same period,
State and local job losses numbered 531,000, including
443,000 local government jobs (of which 306,000 were in
local education).
The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0 percent in
October 2009—a 26-year high—and 5.6 percentage points
above the May 2007 low of 4.4 percent. After October 2009,
the unemployment rate trended lower, reaching 6.6 percent
in January 2014 – its lowest level since October 2008.
Broader measures of unemployment have also declined. One
such measure, that includes workers who are underemployed
and those who are only marginally attached to the labor
force (the U-6 unemployment rate), reached a record high of
17.1 percent in late 2009 (series dates from 1994)—more
than double the low of 7.9 percent reached in December
2006. This measure stood at 12.7 percent in January 2014.

The percentage of the unemployed who have been out of
work for 27 weeks or more peaked at an all-time high of
45.3 percent in April 2010. This measure dropped to 35.8
percent in January 2014, the lowest since July 2009.

Inflation
Headline inflation has generally leveled off over the past
2 years, while core inflation (excluding food and energy) has
moderated. Headline consumer prices rose 1.5 percent over
the 12 months ending in December 2013, below the 1.7
percent rise over the year through December 2012. Energy
prices rose 0.5 percent in the year through December,
matching the year-earlier gain. Food prices rose 1.1 percent
over the year through December 2013, less than the 1.8
percent increase in the year through December 2012. On a
12-month basis, core consumer prices (excluding food and
energy) rose 1.7 percent through December 2013, less than
the 1.9 percent advance in the year through December 2012
Oil and gasoline prices have fluctuated in a stable range
over the past year. The front-month futures price of West
Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil averaged $94.86 per
barrel in January 2014, only three cents above the January
2013 average. The retail price of regular gasoline averaged
$3.31 per gallon in January 2014, down one cent from the
year-earlier average. Prices for crude oil and gasoline
remained below the all-time highs reached in July 2008, of
$147 per barrel and $4.11 per gallon, respectively.

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

Economic Policy

Federal Budget and Debt
The federal budget deficit declined to $680 billion (4.1
percent of GDP) in fiscal year 2013, sharply dropping
$1.089 trillion (6.8 percent of GDP) in fiscal year 2012. The
deficit has declined by nearly 6 percentage points as a share
of the economy from a peak of 9.8 percent in fiscal year
2009, making the past 4 years the most rapid period of fiscal
consolidation that the United States has experienced since
the year following the end of World War II. The debt-toGDP ratio was 72.1 percent in fiscal year 2013, up from 70.1
percent in fiscal year 2012.
On March 1, 2013, $1.2 trillion in mandated public
spending cuts, collectively known as the sequester, took
effect. In April 2013, the Administration released its fiscal
year 2014 budget proposal, which would replace the
sequester with a deficit reduction package worth $1.8 trillion
over the next 10 years. Together with the $2.5 trillion in
deficit reduction measures enacted in the previous 2 years,
these measures would bring the total amount of deficit
reduction over 10 years to $4.3 trillion. According to the
Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) analysis of the
President’s fiscal year 2014 budget (released in May 2013),
the deficit is projected to fall to about 2.0 percent of GDP by
2017, putting Federal debt on a declining path as a share of
the economy. The budget is projected to post a primary
surplus (the budget deficit net of interest payments) starting
in fiscal year 2017. Primary surpluses will average 0.5
percent of GDP over the last five years of the budget
window (2009-2023). The debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to
peak at around 77 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2014 and
then begin to decline, falling to 69.8 percent in fiscal year
2023. In late January 2014, the Administration announced
that the fiscal year 2015 budget will be released in early
March.

March 2014

Key fiscal and monetary policy actions taken over the
past few years have aided the recovery. On the fiscal policy
side, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
authorized the Federal Government to spend $787 billion to
stimulate domestic demand, an amount that was increased to
$840 billion to be consistent with the President’s Fiscal Year
2012 Budget. This spending provided an important boost to
economic activity, but the Administration also proposed and
implemented a variety of additional programs to maintain
the recovery’s momentum. These included an extension and
expansion of the first-time home buyer tax credit, a new
Small Business Jobs and Wages Tax Credit, and additional
financial support for State and local Governments. In
December 2010, the 2010 Tax Relief Act authorized a 2
percentage point payroll tax cut, extensions of
unemployment benefits and refundable tax credits, and a 2year extension of the 2001 tax cuts. In late December 2011,
the 2 percentage point payroll tax cut and extended
unemployment benefits included in the 2010 tax legislation
were each extended for 2 additional months. In late February
2012, the extension of the payroll tax cut and extended
unemployment benefits for the remainder of 2012 were
signed into law.
In January 2013, the ATRA was signed into law. The
ATRA permanently extended tax cuts for the vast majority
of Americans and small businesses, extended Emergency
Unemployment benefits for an additional year, extended a
variety of other tax cuts and credits, postponed the sequester,
originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, until March
1, 2013, and raised tax rates for high-income earners
(representing about 2 percent of taxpayers). Altogether, the
ATRA is projected to reduce the deficit by $737 billion over
the next decade.
Partly in response to rising financial market stress, as
well as to signs of more slowing in the broader economy, the
Federal Reserve began the current cycle of monetary policy
easing in September 2007. By late 2008, the FOMC had
lowered the federal funds target interest rate dramatically,
reducing it to a historically low target range of 0 percent to
0.25 percent at the December 2008 FOMC meeting.
Beginning with the August 2011 meeting, the FOMC also
began identifying an expected timeframe for maintaining the
Federal funds rate target at “exceptionally low levels.”
Initially put at mid-2013, the timeframe was extended to “at
least late 2014” at the January 2012 FOMC meeting, and
then to “at least mid-2015” at the September 2012 meeting, a
timeframe for the target range which was maintained at the
October 2012 meeting. At the December 2012 meeting,
however, the FOMC implemented numerical thresholds for
its policy rate guidance. Specifically, the FOMC indicated
that it would maintain the target range as long as the
unemployment rate remained above 6.5 percent, inflation
between 1 and 2 years ahead is projected to be no more than
0.5 percentage point above the FOMC’s 2 percent longer-run

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

goal, and long-term inflation expectations remain well
anchored. At the December 2013 meeting, the FOMC
commented on the role of the numerical thresholds in
formulating monetary policy, indicating that, “it will likely
be appropriate to maintain the current target range funds rate
well past the time that the unemployment rate declines
below 6-½ percent, especially if projected inflation
continues to run below the Committee’s longer run goal.” At
the most recent FOMC meeting in January 2014, the
Committee reiterated this view.
The Federal Reserve significantly expanded its tools to
increase liquidity in credit markets, and eased lending terms
to sectors in need of liquidity, including a variety of facilities
and funds directed at specific financial markets. As of June
30, 2010, all of these special facilities had expired. At the
August 2010 FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve
announced it would maintain its holdings of securities at
current levels by reinvesting principal payments from
agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in
longer-term Treasury securities, and continue rolling over
the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities as they
mature. At the end of June 2011, the FOMC completed
purchases of $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities.
At the September 2011 meeting, the FOMC announced it
would extend the average maturity of its holdings (a socalled “twist” operation) by purchasing $400 billion of
longer-term (6 to 30 years) Treasury securities and selling an
equal amount of shorter-term (3 years or less) Treasury
securities, all by the end of June 2012. The Committee also
announced the reinvestment of principal payments from its
holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed
securities into the latter securities. At the June 2012 meeting,
the FOMC extended and expanded its program to extend the
average maturity of its holdings (the so-called “twist”
operation announced in September 2011). At the September
2012 meeting, the FOMC announced it would increase
monetary accommodation through $40 billion per month in
additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities through
the end of the year. The FOMC announced additional
monetary accommodation at the December 2012 meeting,
including the completion of short-term securities sales
(which drain liquidity) and the continuation of purchases of
long-term Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per
month beyond the end of 2012. The FOMC also indicated
that monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities at a
pace of $40 billion per month would continue, and affirmed
its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments. At the
December 2013 meeting, the FOMC announced a tapering
of long-term Treasury security purchases and mortgagebacked securities purchases, of $5 billion each, beginning in
January 2014. The tapering brought monthly purchases to
$40 billion and $35 billion, respectively. At its most recent
meeting in January 2014, the Committee announced a
further tapering of asset purchases to begin in February
2014, of $5 billion each. The latest tapering, to begin in

7

February 2014, brings monthly purchases to $35 billion and
$30 billion, respectively.

Financial Markets
Financial markets have largely recovered from the
unprecedented strains experienced in the fall of 2008, but
came under renewed pressure in 2011, as investors
expressed concerns about slowing economic growth in the
United States as well as globally, and about strains in debt
markets in Europe. The concerns persisting in 2012 and
2013, expanded to include ongoing uncertainty about the.
United States fiscal situation and debt ceiling brinksmanship. While certain domestic headwinds appear to have
receded, and concerns have eased about the sovereign debt
crisis in Europe, prospects for global growth have become
more tentative. Overall, though, financial conditions in
general continue to improve. Credit flows have increased
substantially since early 2009, and in the fourth quarter of
2013, banks generally continued to ease standards and terms
across several lending categories, and demand for most loans
was higher, with the exception of residential mortgages.
After some deterioration in the summer of 2011, measures of
risk tolerance and volatility have all improved.
After plunging 38.5 percent in 2008, the sharpest loss
since 1931 (when an earlier version of the index, containing
only 90 stocks, dropped 47 percent), the S&P 500 index rose
23.5 percent in 2009 and 12.8 percent in 2010. Although the
index was flat in 2011, it advanced 13.4 percent in 2012 and
last year gained 29.6 percent, ending the year at a new
record high. However, thus far in 2014, the index has
declined by nearly 4 percent. The S&P Stock Market
Volatility Index (VIX), often used as a measure of financial
market uncertainty, surged to an all-time high of 80 in late
October 2008, after hovering in a range of 20 to 30 for most
of that year. The VIX retreated fairly steadily during 2009,
ending that year at about 20. Since then, the VIX has
fluctuated more widely, resurging to 46 in mid-May 2010
and to that level again in early October 2011. Since the most
recent peak, this index has generally trended lower, and
stood at about 15.3 as of early February 2014.
A variety of factors have buffeted long-term Treasury
interest rates, including flight-to-quality flows in response to
a variety of specific risk events, as well as supply concerns
related to funding of the government’s debt, concern about
the need for fiscal retrenchment, the downgrade of U.S.
Treasury debt by rating agency S&P in August 2011,
ongoing concerns about European debt markets and debt
downgrades in some European countries, and more recently,
concerns about fiscal drag in the United States and slowing
global growth. The yield on the 10-year note traded above
the 3 percent level during the first half of 2011, but
thereafter trended lower, reaching a record low of 1.43
percent in late July 2012. The yield subsequently rose and
fluctuated around the 2 percent mark in early 2013, then fell
to about 1.7 percent in early May 2013. Thereafter, the yield

March 2014

8

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

trended much higher, surpassing the 3 percent level in late
2013. However, thus far in 2014, the yield has declined
about 30 basis points to 2.7 percent as of early February. The
3-month Treasury bill yield fluctuated in a range from about
0.05 percent to 0.17 percent for much of 2011 but, between
August 2011 and January 2012, the yield fluctuated in a
range of 0.0 percent to 0.02 percent. Since then, the yield has
fluctuated around 0.1 percent as of early February 2014. The
2- to 10-year Treasury yield spread, one measure of the
steepness of the yield curve, widened to 291 basis points in
early February 2011, then trended noticeably lower, reaching
132 basis points in mid-November 2012. The spread
widened again after that, reaching about 270 basis points in
November 2013, but since then has narrowed, reaching 240
basis points as of early February 2014.
Key interest rates on private securities, which spiked in
response to financial market turbulence in late 2008, have
since retraced as conditions have stabilized. The spread
between the 3-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and the 3-month Treasury bill rate (the TED
spread, a measure of inter-bank liquidity and credit risk) rose
to an all-time high of nearly 460 basis points in early
October 2008. However, improvements in short-term credit
availability have led to a narrowing of this spread. Through
early August 2011, the TED spread fluctuated in a range
from 14 to 25 basis points. Subsequently, this spread
widened, reaching almost 60 basis points earlier in 2013,
before narrowing since then to 16 basis points in early
February 2014. The spread between the Baa corporate bond
yield and the 10-year Treasury yield peaked at nearly 620
basis points in December 2008. After narrowing on trend in
the intervening years, and trading below 300 basis points for
much of 2011, the spread widened above that level again in

March 2014

early August 2011 to about 340 basis points. The spread
remained above 300 basis points for much of 2012, but
dropped below that level late in the year, where it has
remained since then. This spread stood at 242 basis points as
of early February 2014, still very high by historical
standards.
Rates for conforming mortgages have trended lower in
recent years, as have rates for jumbo mortgages, although
over the summer and fall of 2013, mortgage rates spiked.
The interest rate for a 30-year conforming fixed-rate
mortgage fell to a record low of 3.31 percent in November
2012; starting in May 2013, however, it started moving
sharply higher. From early May through mid-September
2013, the rate jumped up by nearly 135 basis points. Since
then, the rate has trended lower, and stood at 4.3 percent as
of early February 2014.

Foreign Exchange Rates
The value of the U.S. dollar compared with the
currencies of seven major trading partners (the euro area
countries, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia,
Sweden, and Switzerland) appreciated to a peak level in
February 2002, and then depreciated significantly over the
next several years. From its peak in February 2002, to the
recent low reached in August 2011, the exchange value of
the dollar compared to an index of these currencies fell by
about 38.5 percent. Although the dollar’s exchange value
against this index remains well below the February 2002
peak, it has appreciated between August 2011 and January
2014 by about 12 percent. Over the longer timeframe, the
dollar depreciated by about 42 percent against the yen and
by 39 percent against the euro. In the period since August
2011 through January 2014, the dollar has appreciated by

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

nearly 35 percent against the yen, but has depreciated by 5
percent against the euro. Against an index of currencies of
19 other important trading partners (including China, India,

9

and Mexico), the dollar depreciated 10.2 percent over the
longer timeframe, and has appreciated by about 5.5 percent
against this basket between August 2011 and January 2014.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations
Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations
that allow obligations to be incurred and payments to be
made. Reappropriations are Congressional actions that
extend the availability of unobligated amounts that have
expired or would otherwise expire. These are counted as
new budget authority in the fiscal year of the legislation in
which the reappropriation act is included, regardless of when
the amounts were originally appropriated or when they
would otherwise lapse.
Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations
may also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual
of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities
(including an increase in redemption value of bonds
outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, debentures, notes,
monetary credits, or electronic payments.
Refunds of collections generally are treated as reductions
of collections, whereas payments for earned-income tax
credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays.
Outlays during a fiscal year may be for payment of
obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year.
Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of
prior year budget authority and from budget authority
provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total
outlays include both budget and off-budget outlays and are
stated net of offsetting collections.
Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget
receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from
the public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These,
also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax
receipts (including social insurance taxes), receipts from
court fines, certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the
Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as
deductions from gross receipts. Total Government receipts
are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget
surplus or deficit.
Offsetting collections from other Government accounts
or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented
nature. They are classified as either collections credited to
appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e.,
amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former normally
can be used without an appropriation act by Congress. These
occur in two instances: (1) when authorized by law, amounts
collected for materials or services are treated as
reimbursements to appropriations. For accounting purposes,
earned reimbursements are also known as revenues. These
offsetting collections are netted against gross outlays in
determining net outlays from such appropriations; and (2) in
the three types of revolving funds (public enterprise,
intragovernmental, and trust); offsetting collections are

March 2014

netted against spending, and outlays are reported as the net
amount.
Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used
without appropriation. They are subdivided into three
categories: (1) proprietary receipts, or collections from the
public, offset against outlays by agency and by function; (2)
intragovernmental transactions, or payments into receipt
accounts from governmental appropriation or fund accounts.
They finance operations within and between Government
agencies and are credited with collections from other
Government accounts; and (3) offsetting governmental
receipts that include foreign cash contributions.
Intrabudgetary transactions are subdivided into three
categories: (1) interfund transactions—payments are from
one fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a
receipt account in the other fund group; (2) Federal intrafund
transactions—payments and receipts both occur within the
Federal fund group; and (3) trust intrafund transactions—
payments and receipts both occur within the trust fund
group.
Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget
authority and outlays by function, subfunction, or agency.
There are four types of receipts, however, that are deducted
from budget totals as undistributed offsetting receipts. They
are: (1) agencies’ payments (including payments by offbudget Federal entities) as employers into employees’
retirement funds; (2) interest received by trust funds; (3)
rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf lands; and
(4) other interest (i.e., that collected on Outer Continental
Shelf money in deposit funds when such money is
transferred into the budget).
The Government has used the unified budget concept set
forth in the “Report of the President’s Commission on
Budget Concepts” as a foundation for its budgetary analysis
and presentation since 1969. The concept calls for the
budget to include all of the Government’s fiscal transactions
with the public. Since 1971, however, various laws have
been enacted removing several Federal entities from (or
creating them outside of) the budget. Other laws have moved
certain off-budget Federal entities onto the budget. Under
current law, the off-budget Federal entities consist of the two
Social Security trust funds, Federal Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund,
and the Postal Service.
Although an off-budget Federal entity’s receipts, outlays,
and surplus or deficit ordinarily are not subject to targets set
by the Congressional resolution, the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 [commonly known
as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act as amended by the
Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (2 United States Code 900-

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS

922)] included off-budget surplus or deficit in calculating
deficit targets under that act and in calculating excess deficit.
Partly for this reason, attention has focused on both on- and
off-budget receipts, outlays and deficit of the Government.
Tables FFO-1, FFO-2, and FFO-3 are published
quarterly and cover 5 years of data, estimates for 2 years,
detail for 13 months, and fiscal year-to-date data. They
provide a summary of data relating to Federal fiscal
operations reported by Federal entities and disbursing
officers, and daily reports from the FRBs. They also detail
accounting transactions affecting receipts and outlays of the
Government and off-budget Federal entities and their related
effect on assets and liabilities of the Government. Data are
derived from the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”

 Table FFO-1 summarizes the amount of total
receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit, as well as
transactions in Federal securities, monetary assets, and
balances in Treasury operating cash.
 Table FFO-2 includes on- and off-budget receipts
by source. Amounts represent income taxes, social insurance
taxes, net contributions for other insurance and retirement,
excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and net
miscellaneous receipts.
 Table FFO-3 details on- and off-budget outlays by
agency.

11

 Table FFO-4 summarizes on- and off-budget
receipts by source and outlays by function as reported to
each major fund group classification for the current fiscal
year to date and prior fiscal year to date.
 Table FFO-5 summarizes internal revenue receipts
by states and by type of tax. Amounts reported are
collections made in a fiscal year. They span several tax
liability years because they consist of prepayments
(estimated tax payments and taxes withheld by employers
for individual income and Social Security taxes), payments
made with tax returns and subsequent payments made after
tax returns are due or are filed (that is, payments with
delinquent returns or on delinquent accounts).
Amounts are reported based on the primary filing
address provided by each taxpayer or reporting entity. For
multistate corporations, the address may reflect only the
district where such a corporation reported its taxes from a
principal office rather than other districts where income was
earned or where individual income and Social Security taxes
were withheld. In addition, an individual may reside in one
district and work in another.
 Table FFO-6 includes customs collection of duties,
taxes, and fees by districts and ports.

First-Quarter Receipts
The following capsule analysis of budget
receipts, by source, for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2014 supplements fiscal data reported in the
December issue of the “Treasury Bulletin.” At the
time of that issue’s release, not enough data were
available to analyze adequately collections for the
quarter.
Individual income taxes—Individual income tax
receipts, net of refunds, were $306.4 billion for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2014. This is a decrease of $6.0 billion
over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld receipts
decreased by $11.1 billion and non-withheld receipts
increased by $4.3 billion during this period. Refunds
decreased by $0.9 billion over the comparable fiscal year
2013 quarter. There was a decrease of $6.4 billion in
accounting adjustments between individual income tax
receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds
over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2013.
Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax
receipts were $69.3 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year
2014. This is an increase of $6.8 billion compared to the

prior year first quarter. The $6.8 billion change is comprised
of an increase of $5.1 billion in estimated and final
payments, and a decrease of $1.6 billion in corporate
refunds.
Employment taxes and contributions—Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2014 were $216.2 billion, an increase of $44.1 billion
over the comparable prior year quarter. Receipts to the
Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Federal Disability
Insurance, and Federal Hospital Insurance trust funds
changed by $30.8 billion, $5.2 billion, and $7.9 billion
respectively.
There was a -$2.0 billion accounting
adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, while there was a -$8.4
billion adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance
receipts, net of refunds, for the first quarter of fiscal year
2014 were $8.4 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion over the
comparable quarter of fiscal year 2013. Net State taxes
deposited in the U.S. Treasury increased by $0.2 billion to
$7.8 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes
increased by $0.1 billion to $0.7 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—
Contributions for other retirement were $0.8 billion for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2014. This was a negligible
change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $19.2 billion, a decrease of
$0.9 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total
excise tax refunds for the quarter were $0.5 billion, an
increase of $0.1 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $5.3 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

These receipts represent an increase of $2.1 billion over the
same quarter in fiscal year 2013.
Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were
$8.8 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. This is
an increase of $0.8 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts
for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $30.1 billion, an
increase of $2.1 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by
Federal Reserve banks increasing by $0.5 billion.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the
Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury
The Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury’s) operating
cash is maintained in accounts with the Federal Reserve
banks (FRBs) and branches, as well as in tax and loan
accounts in other financial institutions. Major information
sources include FRBs, Treasury Regional Financial Centers,
Internal Revenue Service Centers, Bureau of the Public
Debt, and various electronic systems. As the FRB accounts
are depleted, funds are called in (withdrawn) from thousands
of tax and loan accounts at financial institutions throughout
the country.
Under authority of Public Law 95-147 (codified at 31
United States Code 323), Treasury implemented a program
on November 2, 1978, to invest a portion of its operating
cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax and loan
accounts. Under the Treasury tax and loan (TT&L)
investment program, depositary financial institutions select
the manner in which they will participate. Financial
institutions wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax

and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations can
participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds
through financial institutions and to leave the funds in TT&L
depositaries and in the financial communities in which they
arise until Treasury needs the funds for its operations. In this
way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its
fluctuating operations on TT&L financial institution reserves
and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to
remit the funds to the Treasury account at FRBs do so as
collector depositaries.
Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of
financial institutions deposit tax payments that the financial
institutions use to purchase Government securities. In most
cases, this involves a transfer of funds from a customer’s
account to the tax and loan account in the same financial
institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest
excess funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the
Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt
Treasury securities (i.e., public debt securities) comprise
most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other
Federal agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this
section of the “Treasury Bulletin” reflect the total. Further
detailed information is published in the “Monthly Statement
of the Public Debt of the United States.” Likewise,
information on agency securities and on investments of
Federal Government accounts in Federal securities is
published in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and FD-6 from the
“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States.”
 Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing
public debt and agency securities held by the public,
including the Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by
Federal agencies, largely by the Social Security and other
Federal retirement trust funds. The net unamortized
premium and discount also are listed by total Federal
securities, securities held by Government accounts and
securities held by the public. The difference between the
outstanding face value of the Federal debt and the net
unamortized premium and discount is classified as the
accrual amount. (For greater detail on holdings of Federal
securities by particular classes of investors, see the
ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.)
 Table FD-2 categorizes by type, that is, marketable
and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities
outstanding that are held by the public.
 In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities
held by U.S. Government accounts are summarized by
issues to particular funds within Government. Many of the
funds invest in par value special series nonmarketabletes at
interest rates determined by law. Others invest in marketbased special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those
of marketable securities.
 Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities
issued by Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing

March 2014

has declined in recent years, in part because the Federal
Financing Bank has provided financing to other Federal
agencies. (Federal agency borrowing from Treasury is
presented in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”)
 Table FD-5 illustrates the average length of
marketable interest-bearing public debt held by private
investors and the maturity distribution of that debt.
In March 1971, Congress enacted a limited exception to
the amount of bonds with rates greater than 4-1/4 percent
that could be held by the public. This permitted Treasury to
offer securities maturing in more than 7 years at current
market interest rates for the first time since 1965. In March
1976, the definition of a bond was changed to include those
securities longer than 10 years to maturity. This exception
has expanded since 1971, authorizing Treasury to continue
to issue long-term securities. The ceiling on Treasury bonds
was repealed on November 10, 1988.
The volume of privately held Treasury marketable
securities by maturity class reflects the remaining period to
maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average
length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to
maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by
private investors. In other words, computations of average
length exclude Government accounts and the FRBs.
 In table FD-6, the debt ceiling is compared with the
outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt
category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as
being subject to the debt ceiling.
 Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities
issued by Government corporations and other agencies.
Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money
from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs.
In addition, agencies such as the Bonneville Power
Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury
to finance capital projects. Treasury, in turn, finances these
loans by selling Treasury securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: Bureau of the Fiscal Service Operations
Chapter 31 of Title 31 of the United States Code allows
the Secretary of Treasury to borrow money by issuing
Treasury securities. The Secretary determines the terms and
conditions of issue, conversion, maturity, payment, and
interest rate. New issues of Treasury notes mature in 2 to 10
years. Bonds mature in more than 10 years from the issue
date. Each outstanding marketable security is listed in the
“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.”
The information in this section of the “Treasury Bulletin”
pertains only to marketable Treasury securities.
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a new bureau within
the Treasury Department, formed on October 7, 2012, from
the consolidation of the Financial Management Service and
the Bureau of the Public Debt. Our mission is to promote the
financial integrity and operational efficiency of the U.S.
government through exceptional accounting, financing,
collections, payments, and shared services. As one bureau,
the organization is better positioned to help transform
financial management and the delivery of shared services in
the federal government. The bureau will be a valued partner
for agencies as they work to strengthen their own financial
management or as they look for a quality service provider
who can allow them to focus on their missions.

Table PDO-1 presents the results of weekly auctions of 4-,
13-, and 26-week bills. Treasury bills mature each Thursday.
Issues of 4- and 13-week bills are reopenings of 26-week
bills. High yields on accepted tenders and the dollar value of
total bids are presented, with the dollar value of awards made
on both competitive and noncompetitive bases.
To encourage the participation of individuals and smaller
institutions, Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up to
$5 million for bills and $5 million for notes and bonds in each
auction of securities.
Table PDO-2 lists the results of auctions of marketable
securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over
the past 2 years. Issues of cash management bills also are
presented.
Note: Cash management bills identified below are issued
as part of the Supplementary Financing Program (SFP). For
more details about the SFP, visit www.treasury.gov/press/
releases/hp1144.htm or call 202-622-2960.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities
Federal securities presented in the following tables are
public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and
bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt
issued by other Federal agencies under special financing
authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more
complete description of the Federal debt.]
Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the
Fiscal Service revised formats, titles, and column headings
in the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities
Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These
changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication
more in line with the public’s use of terms.
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from the “Monthly
Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” Effective
June 2001, Bureau of the Fiscal Service revised procedures
and categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the
Fiscal Service’s publication changes.

March 2014

 Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and
nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal
agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and
private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement
trust fund investments comprise much of the Government
account holdings.
The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a
means of executing monetary policy.
 Table OFS-2 presents the estimated ownership of
U.S. Treasury securities. Information is primarily obtained
from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Flow of Funds
data, Table L209. State, local, and foreign holdings include
special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal
entities and foreign official accounts. They also include
municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of
marketable Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table
for description of investor categories.)

INTRODUCTION: U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation
The U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in
Circulation (USCC) statement informs the public of the total
face value of currency and coin used as a medium of
exchange that is in circulation at the end of a given
accounting month. The statement defines the total amount of
currency and coin outstanding and the portion deemed to be
in circulation. It includes some old and current rare issues
that do not circulate or that may do so to a limited extent.
Treasury includes them in the statement because the issues
were originally intended for general circulation.

The USCC statement provides a description of the
various issues of paper money. It also gives an estimated
average of currency and coin held by each individual, using
estimates of population from the Bureau of the Census.
USCC information has been published by Treasury since
1888, and was published separately until 1983, when it was
incorporated into the “Treasury Bulletin.” The USCC comes
from monthly reports compiled by Treasury offices, U.S.
Mint offices, the Federal Reserve banks (FRBs), and the
Federal Reserve Board.

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions
The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency
holdings of large foreign exchange market participants.
These reports provide information on positions in derivative
instruments, such as foreign exchange futures and options
that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange
positions but were not covered in the old reports.
The information is based on reports of large foreign
exchange market participants on holdings of five major
foreign currencies (Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss
franc, pound sterling, and euro) and the U.S. dollar.
Positions in the U.S. dollar, which have been collected since
January 1999, are intended to approximate “all other”
currency positions of reporting institutions. U.S.-based
businesses file a consolidated report for their domestic and
foreign subsidiaries, branches, and agencies. U.S.
subsidiaries of foreign entities file only for themselves, not
for their foreign parents. Filing is required by law (31 United
States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal Regulations 128,
Subpart C).
Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the
calendar year by major foreign exchange market
participants, which are defined as market participants with
more than $50 billion equivalent in foreign exchange
contracts on the last business day of any calendar quarter
during the previous year (end March, September, September,
or December). Such contracts include the amounts of foreign
exchange spot contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange
forward contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange futures
bought and sold, and one half the notional amount of foreign
exchange options bought and sold.

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar
year by each foreign exchange market participant that had
more than $5 billion equivalent in foreign exchange
contracts on the last business day of any quarter the previous
year (end March, September, September, or December).
This information is published in six sections
corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the
reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present the currency data
reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2
through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major
market participants, based on monthly reports. Tables I-3
through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated currency data
reported by large market participants that do not file weekly
reports. The information in the tables referenced above is
based on the reports referenced in this Introduction: Foreign
Currency Positions and is not audited by the Federal Reserve
banks or the Treasury Department.
Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate
swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign
exchange. Such principal also was noted separately on
monthly and quarterly reports through December 1998,
when this practice was discontinued. The net options
position, or the net delta-equivalent value of an options
position, is an estimate of the relationship between an
option’s value and an equivalent currency hedge. The delta
equivalent value is defined as the product of the first partial
derivative of an option valuation formula (with respect to the
price of the underlying currency) multiplied by the notional
principal of the contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund
To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the
Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established pursuant
to chapter 6, section 10 of the Gold Reserve Act of January
30, 1934 (codified at 31 United States Code 5302), which
authorized establishment of a Treasury fund to be operated
under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval
of the President.
Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act
modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect
termination of the fixed exchange rate system.
Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially
invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing
rights (SDRs), and balances of foreign currencies. Principal
sources of income (+) or loss (-) for the fund are profits (+)
or losses (-) on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as
interest earned on assets.

 Table ESF-1 presents the assets, liabilities, and
capital of the fund. The figures are in U.S. dollars or their
equivalents based on current exchange rates computed
according to the accrual method of accounting. The capital
account represents the original capital appropriated to the fund
by Congress of $2 billion, minus a subsequent transfer of $1.8
billion to pay for the initial U.S. quota subscription to the
International Monetary Fund. Gains and losses are reflected in
the cumulative net income (+) or loss (-) account.
 Table ESF-2 shows the results of operations by
quarter. Figures are in U.S. dollars or their equivalents
computed according to the accrual method. “Profit (+) or
loss (-) on foreign exchange” includes realized profits or
losses. “Adjustment for change in valuation of SDR holdings
and allocations” reflects net gain or loss on revaluation of
SDR holdings and allocations for the quarter.

Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund adopted a technique for valuing the
SDRs based on a weighted average of exchange rates for the currencies of selected
member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and allocations are valued on this basis
beginning July 1974.

Note. — Annual balance sheets for fiscal years 1934 through 1940 appeared in the 1940
“Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury” and those for succeeding years
appeared in subsequent reports through 1980. Quarterly balance sheets beginning with
December 31, 1938, have been published in the “Treasury Bulletin.” Data from inception
to September 30, 1978, may be found on the statements published in the January 1979
“Treasury Bulletin.”

INTRODUCTION: Financial Report of the United States Government
The following pages are excerpted from the 2013
Financial Report of the United States Government (Financial
Report). The report and accompanying information, prepared
and published annually by the Financial Management Service,
are modeled after corporate-type reports and are developed on
an accrual basis of accounting.
The excerpts represent some of the most noteworthy
information contained in the Financial Report. Data for the
Financial Report are compiled from Federal program agency

accounting systems Governmentwide. Treasury also presents
a management discussion and analysis, the customary notes
to the financial statements, a section on stewardship
information, and supplemental information in the complete
document.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is required
by law to audit the Financial Report. GAO’s report, as well
as the complete Financial Report, can be accessed easily
through the internet at www.fms.treas.gov/fr.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

Financial Statements
of the United States Government
for the Years Ended September 30, 2013,
and 2012
Statements of Net Cost
These statements present the net cost of the United States Government (Government)1 operations for Fiscal Years 2013
and 2012, including the operations related to funds from dedicated collections (funds financed by specifically identified
revenues, often supplemented by other financing sources, which remain available over time). The Government’s fiscal year
begins October 1 and ends September 30. Costs and earned revenues are categorized on the Statement of Net Cost by
significant entity, providing greater accountability by showing the relationship of the agencies’ net cost to the
Governmentwide net cost. Costs and earned revenues are presented in this Financial Report by significant entity on an
accrual basis, while the budget presents costs and revenues by obligations and receipts, generally on a cash basis. The focus
of the budget of the United States is by agency. Budgets are prepared, defended, and monitored by agency. In reporting by
agency, we are assisting the external users in assessing the budget integrity, operating performance, stewardship, and systems
and controls of the Government.
These statements contain the following four components:
 Gross cost—is the full cost of all the departments and entities excluding (gain)/loss from changes in assumptions.
These costs are assigned on a cause-and-effect basis, or reasonably allocated to the corresponding departments and
entities.
 Earned revenue—is exchange revenue resulting from the Government providing goods and services to the public at
a price.
 (Gain)/loss from changes in assumptions—is the gain or loss from changes in long-term assumptions used to
measure the liabilities reported for federal civilian and military employee pensions, other post-employment benefits,
and other retirement benefits, including veterans’ compensation.
 Net cost—is computed by subtracting earned revenue from gross cost, adjusted by the (gain)/loss from changes in
assumptions.
Individual agency net cost amounts will differ from the agency’s financial statements primarily because of allocations
of Office of Personnel Management (OPM) benefit program costs and intragovernmental eliminations, as adjusted for
buy/sell cost, buy/sell revenues and imputed costs. Because of its specific function, most of the costs originally associated
with OPM have been allocated to their user agencies for Governmentwide reporting purposes. The remaining costs for OPM
on the Statements of Net Cost are the administrative operating costs, the expenses from prior and past costs from health and
pension plan amendments, and the actuarial gains and losses, if applicable. With regard to intragovernmental buy/sell costs
and related revenues, the amounts recognized by each agency are added to, and subtracted from, respectively, the individual
agency non-federal net cost amounts. Because of the specific functions of the General Services Administration (GSA), as the
primary provider of goods and services to federal agencies, once GSA’s net cost is adjusted for its intragovernmental buy/sell
costs and related revenues, the remaining costs for GSA on the Statements of Net Cost are its administrative operating costs.
In addition, the intragovernmental imputed costs recognized for the receipt of goods and services, financed in whole or part
by the providing agencies, are added to the individual agency non-federal net cost amounts. The interest on securities issued
by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and held by the public is reported on Treasury’s financial statements, but,
because of its importance and the dollar amounts involved, it is reported separately in these statements.

Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Position
These statements report the results of Government operations, which include the results of operations for funds from
dedicated collections. They include nonexchange revenues which are generated from transactions where the government
gives (or receives) value without giving (or receiving) equal value in return. These are generated principally by the
Government’s sovereign power to tax, levy duties, and assess fines and penalties. These statements also present the cost of
Government operations, net of revenue earned from the sale of goods and services to the public (exchange revenue). They
further include certain adjustments and unreconciled transactions that affect the net position.

Revenue
Individual income tax and tax withholdings include Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)/Self-Employment
Contributions Act (SECA) taxes and other taxes. These taxes are characterized as nonexchange revenue.
Excise taxes consist of taxes collected for various items, such as airline tickets, gasoline products, distilled spirits and
imported liquor, tobacco, firearms, and other items. These also are characterized as nonexchange revenue.
Other taxes and receipts include Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs) earnings, tax related fines, penalties and interest, and
railroad retirement taxes.
Miscellaneous earned revenues consist of earned revenues received from the public with virtually no associated cost.
These revenues include rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands resulting from the leasing and development
of mineral resources on public lands.
Generally, funds from dedicated collections are financed by specifically identified revenues, provided to the
government by non-federal sources, often supplemented by other financing sources, which remain available over time. These
specifically identified revenues and other financing sources are required by statute to be used for designated activities,
benefits or purposes, and must be accounted for separately from the Government’s general revenue. See Note 22—Funds
from Dedicated Collections for detailed information.
Intragovernmental interest represents interest earned from the investment of surplus dedicated collections, which
finance the deficit spending of all other fund’s non-dedicated operations. These investments are recorded as
intragovernmental debt holdings and are included in Note 12—Federal Debt Securities Held by the Public and Accrued
Interest, in the table titled Intragovernmental Debt Holdings: Federal Debt Securities Held as Investments by Government
Accounts. These interest payments and the associated investments are eliminated in the consolidation process.

Net Cost of Government Operations
The net cost of Government operations (gross cost [including (gains)/losses from changes in assumptions] less earned
revenue) flows through from the Statements of Net Cost. The net cost associated with funds from dedicated collections
activities is separately reported.

Intragovernmental Transfers
Intragovernmental transfers reflect budgetary and other financing sources for funds from dedicated collections,
excluding financing sources related to nonexchange, intragovernmental interest and miscellaneous revenues. These
intragovernmental transfers include appropriations, transfers and other financing sources. These amounts are labeled as
“other changes in fund balance” in Note 22—Funds from Dedicated Collections. Some transfers reflect amounts required by
statute to be transferred from the General Fund of the Treasury to funds from dedicated collections. An example is the annual
transfer to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund Medicare
Parts B and D which received approximately 75 percent and 74 percent, respectively, of 2013 program costs, from the
General Fund.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

Unmatched Transactions and Balances
Unmatched transactions and balances are adjustments needed to bring the change in net position into balance due to
unreconciled intragovernmental differences and unreconciled General Fund differences, agency reporting errors and
restatements in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 1.T—Unmatched Transactions and Balances for detailed
information.
The unmatched transactions and balances are included in net operating cost to make the sum of net operating costs and
prior period adjustments for the year equal to the change in the net position balance.

Net Position, Beginning of Period
The net position, beginning of period, reflects the net position reported on the prior year’s balance sheet as of the end of
that fiscal year. The net position for funds from dedicated collections is shown separately.
Prior-period adjustments are revisions to adjust the beginning net position and balances presented on the prior year
financial statements due to corrections of errors or changes in accounting principles. See Note 19—Prior Period Adjustments
for detailed information.

Net Position, End of Period
The net position, end of period, amount reflects the net position as of the end of the fiscal year. The net position for
funds from dedicated collections is separately shown.

Reconciliations of Net Operating Cost and Unified Budget
Deficit
These statements reconcile the results of operations (net operating cost) on the Statements of Operations and Changes in
Net Position to the unified budget deficit. The premise of the reconciliation is that the accrual and budgetary accounting bases
share transaction data.
Receipts and outlays in the budget are measured primarily on a cash basis and differ from the accrual basis of
accounting used in the Financial Report. Refer to Note 1.B—Basis of Accounting and Revenue Recognition for details.
These statements begin with the net results of operations (net operating cost), where operating revenues are reported on a
modified cash basis of accounting and the net cost of Government operations on an accrual basis of accounting and report
activities where the bases of accounting for the components of net operating cost and the unified budget deficit differ.

Components of Net Operating Cost Not Part of the
Budget Deficit
This information includes the operating components, such as the changes in benefits payable for veterans, military
and civilian employees, the environmental and disposal liabilities, and depreciation expense, not included in the budget
results.

March 2014

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

69

Components of the Budget Deficit Not Part of
Net Operating Cost
This information includes the budget components, such as capitalized fixed assets (that are recorded as outlays in the
budget when purchased and reflected in net operating cost through depreciation expense over the useful life of the asset), and
increases in other assets that are not included in the operating results.

Statements of Changes in Cash Balance from Unified Budget
and Other Activities
The primary purpose of these statements is to report how the annual unified budget deficit relates to the change in the
Government’s cash and other monetary assets and debt held by the public. It explains why the unified budget deficit normally
would not result in an equivalent change in the Government’s cash and other monetary assets.
These statements reconcile the unified budget deficit to the change in cash and other monetary assets during the fiscal
year and explain how the budget deficits were financed. A budget deficit is the result of outlays (expenditures) exceeding
receipts (revenue) during a particular fiscal year.
The budget deficit is primarily financed through borrowings from the public. Other transactions such as the payment
of interest on debt held by the public also require cash disbursements and are not part of the deficit. The budget deficit
also includes certain amounts that are recognized in the budget and will be disbursed in a future period or are adjustments
that did not affect the cash balance. These amounts include interest accrued on debt issued by Treasury and held by the
public and subsidy expense related to direct and guaranteed loans.
These statements show the adjustments for noncash outlays included in the budget and items affecting the cash balance
not included in the budget to explain the change in cash and other monetary assets.

Balance Sheets
The balance sheets show the Government’s assets, liabilities, and net position. When combined with stewardship
information, this information presents a more comprehensive understanding of the Government’s financial position. The net
position for funds from dedicated collections is shown separately.

Assets
Assets included on the balance sheets are resources of the Government that remain available to meet future needs. The
most significant assets that are reported on the balance sheets are loans receivable, net; property, plant, and equipment
(PP&E), net; inventories and related property, net; and cash and other monetary assets. There are, however, other significant
resources available to the Government that extend beyond the assets presented in these balance sheets. Those resources
include the Government’s sovereign powers to tax, and set monetary policy.

Liabilities and Net Position
Liabilities are obligations of the Government resulting from prior actions that will require financial resources. The most
significant liabilities reported on the balance sheets are Federal debt securities held by the public and accrued interest and
Federal employee and veteran benefits payable. Liabilities also include environmental and disposal liabilities, benefits due
and payable, and insurance and guarantee program liabilities.
As with reported assets, the Government’s responsibilities, policy commitments, and contingencies are much broader
than these reported balance sheet liabilities. They include the social insurance programs reported in the Statements of Social
Insurance and disclosed in the Required Supplementary Information—Social Insurance section, the fiscal long-term

March 2014

70

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

projections of non-interest spending disclosed in the Required Supplementary Information (RSI)—Statement of Fiscal
Projections for the United States Government (Government) section, and a wide range of other programs under which the
Government provides benefits and services to the people of this Nation, as well as certain future loss contingencies.
The Government has entered into contractual commitments requiring the future use of financial resources and has
unresolved contingencies where existing conditions, situations, or circumstances create uncertainty about future losses.
Commitments, as well as contingencies that do not meet the criteria for recognition as liabilities on the balance sheets, but for
which there is at least a reasonable possibility that losses have been incurred, are disclosed in Note 20—Contingencies and
Note 21—Commitments.
The collection of taxes and other revenue is credited to the corresponding funds from dedicated collections that will use
these funds to meet a particular Government purpose. If the collections from taxes and other sources exceed the payments to
the beneficiaries, the excess revenue is invested in Treasury securities or “loaned” to Treasury’s General Fund; therefore, the
trust fund balances do not represent cash. An explanation of the trust funds for social insurance is included in Note 22—
Funds from Dedicated Collections. That note also contains information about trust fund receipts, disbursements, and assets.
Because of its sovereign power to tax and borrow, and the country’s wide economic base, the Government has unique
access to financial resources through generating tax revenues and issuing Federal debt securities. This provides the
Government with the ability to meet present obligations and those that are anticipated from future operations, and are not
reflected in net position.
The net position is the residual difference between assets and liabilities and is the cumulative results of operations since
inception. For detailed components that comprise the net position, refer to the section “Statement of Operations and Changes
in Net Position.”

Statements of Social Insurance and Changes in Social
Insurance Amounts
The Statements of Social Insurance provide estimates of the status of the most significant social insurance programs:
Social Security, Medicare, Railroad Retirement, and Black Lung social insurance programs. They are administered by the
Social Security Administration (SSA), HHS, the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), and the Department of Labor (DOL),
respectively. The estimates are actuarial present values2 of the projections and are based on the economic and demographic
assumptions representing the trustees’ reasonable estimates as set forth in the relevant Social Security and Medicare trustees’
reports and in the agency financial reports of HHS, SSA, and DOL (Black Lung) and in the relevant agency performance and
accountability report for the RRB. The projections are based on the continuation of program provisions contained in current
law.
The magnitude and complexity of social insurance programs, coupled with the extreme sensitivity of projections
relating to the many assumptions of the programs, produce a wide range of possible results. In preparing the Statements of
Social Insurance, Government management considers and selects assumptions and data that it believes provide a reasonable
basis for the assertions in the statements. However, because of the large number of factors that affect the Statements of Social
Insurance and the fact that such assumptions are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty (arising from the likelihood of
future events, significant uncertainties, and contingencies), there will be differences between the estimates in the Statements
of Social Insurance and the actual results, and those differences may be material. Note 24—Social Insurance describes the
social insurance programs, reports long-range estimates that can be used to assess the financial condition of the programs,
and explains some of the factors that impact the various programs. The Statements of Changes in Social Insurance Amounts
reconcile the change between the current valuation period and the prior valuation period.

2
Present values recognize that a dollar paid or collected in the future is worth less than a dollar today, because a dollar today could be invested and earn
interest. To calculate a present value, future amounts are thus reduced using an assumed interest rate, and those reduced amounts are summed.

TRUST FUNDS

INTRODUCTION: Airport and Airway Trust Fund
The Airport and Airway Trust Fund was established on
the books of Treasury in fiscal year 1971, according to
provisions of the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970
[49 United States Code 1742(a), repealed]. The Tax Equity
and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-248,
dated September 3, 1982) reestablished the trust fund in the
Internal Revenue Code (26 United States Code 9502)
effective September 1, 1982.
Treasury transfers from the general fund to the trust
fund amounts equivalent to the taxes received from
transportation of persons and property by air, gasoline and
jet fuel used in commercial and noncommercial aircraft,
and an international arrival and departure tax. The Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508,
dated November 5, 1990) increased rates for the excise
taxes transferred to the fund.
Treasury bases these transfers on estimates made by the
Secretary of the Treasury. These are subject to adjustments
in later transfers in the amount of actual tax receipts.
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act 2012 (Public
Law 112-095), effective February 14, 2012, extended the
aviation excise taxes until September 30, 2015. The Act
included provisions that:
 Retained the existing passenger ticket, flight
segment, and freight waybill taxes. The flight segment tax
is indexed to the Consumer Price Index; effective calendar
year 2014, the tax is $4.00. It also retained a special rule
applied to flights between the continental United States and
Alaska or Hawaii. This departure tax is indexed to the
Consumer Price Index; effective calendar year 2014, the tax
is $8.70.
 Retained the existing tax per person for
international flights that begin or end in the United States.
The tax is indexed to the Consumer Price Index; effective
calendar year 2014, the tax is $17.50.
 Retained the existing tax on payments to airlines
for frequent flyer and similar awards by banks and credit
card companies, merchants and frequent flyer program

partners, such as other airlines, hotels and rental car
companies, and other businesses.
 Retained the commercial aviation fuel tax and the
general aviation jet fuel/gas taxes.
 Imposed a new surtax on fuel used in aircraft that is
part of a fractional ownership program; the surtax applies to
fuel used after March 31, 2012. It also changed the
classification of transportation as part of a fractional
ownership program from commercial aviation to
noncommercial aviation.
 Repealed the excise tax exemption for
transportation by small aircraft operating on nonestablished
lines. (IRS defines the term “operated on an established
line” to mean operated with some degree of regularity
between definite points).
When the provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b)
are met, amounts available in the trust fund exceed outlay
requirements, Treasury invests excess amounts in public
debt securities and credits the interest to the fund.
Additional sums from the general fund also are credited as
authorized and made available, by law, if they are needed to
meet outlay requirements.
Treasury makes available to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation
(DOT), amounts required for outlays to carry out the
Airport and Airway program. The Secretary of the Treasury
makes other charges to the trust fund to transfer certain
refunds of taxes and certain outfits, under section 34 of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
Annual reports to Congress, required by 26 U.S.C. 9602
(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, after
consultation with the Secretary of Transportation. These
reports are required to cover the financial condition and
results of operations of the trust fund during the past fiscal
year and those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Uranium Enrichment
Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) Fund
The Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and
Decommissioning Fund was established on the books of the
Treasury in fiscal year 1993, according to provisions of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 United States Code 2297g).
Receipts represent (1) fees collected from domestic public
utilities based on their pro rata share of purchases of
separative work units from the Department of Energy (DOE)
and (2) appropriations toward the Government contribution
based on the balance of separative work unit purchases.
Expenditures from the fund are for the purpose of (1)
decontamination and decommissioning of the three gaseous
diffusion plants, (2) remedial actions and related
environmental restoration costs at the gaseous diffusion
plants, and (3) reimbursement to uranium/thorium producers
for the costs of decontamination, decommissioning,
reclamation, and remedial action of uranium/thorium sites
that are incident to sales to the U.S. Government.
Amounts available in the fund exceeding current needs
may be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in
obligations of the United States (1) having maturities
congruent with the needs of the fund and (2) bearing interest
at rates determined appropriate, taking into consideration the
current average market yield on outstanding marketable
obligations of the United States with remaining periods to
maturity comparable to these investments.
The Secretary of the Treasury is required by 42 United
States Code 2297g(b)(1) to provide an annual report to
Congress, after consultation with the Secretary of Energy.
This report must present the financial condition and the

results of operations of the fund during the preceding fiscal
year.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 United States Code
2297g-1, as amended) authorizes funding to ensure annual
deposits to the fund of $518.2 million before adjustments for
inflation. The Act stipulates that the Government deposit
$369.6 million, adjusted for inflation, annually. The Act also
calls for deposits of $150 million from domestic public
utility assessments. The assessments were authorized for 15
years with the final assessment scheduled for fiscal year
2007.
Between fiscal years 1993 and 2007, the total
Government contribution amount authorized by the Act was
$6,281.0 million. During that time span, the Government
contributed only $5,362.4 million to the fund. The resulting
shortfall in authorized Government contributions was,
therefore, $918.6 million.
The Government continued to make annual contributions
to eliminate this shortfall. Through fiscal year 2009
contributions, the overall shortfall (after adjustments for
inflation) was $40.6 million. Also, during fiscal year 2009,
the Government designated $390 million of American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for the
fund’s mission. The ARRA funding was not an actual
deposit into the fund’s invested balances, but it provides a
dollar for dollar reduction in the required outlays from the
invested balances. The DOE recognizes the ARRA funding
as an offset to the Government’s contribution shortfall,
thereby satisfying the Government’s contribution responsibility.

INTRODUCTION: Black Lung Disability Trust Fund
The Black Lung Disability Trust Fund was established on
the books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1978 according to the
Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977 (Public Law 95227). The Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1981 (Public
Law 97-119) reestablished the fund in the Internal Revenue
Code (IRC), 26 United States Code 9501.
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985 (Public Law 99-272), enacted April 7, 1986, provided
for an increase in the coal tax rates effective April 1, 1986,
through December 31, 1995, and a 5-year forgiveness of
interest retroactive to October 1, 1985. The 5-year moratorium
on interest payments ended on September 30, 1990. Payment
of interest on advances resumed in fiscal year 1991. The
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law
100-203, title X, section 10503), signed December 22, 1987,
extended the temporary increase in the coal tax through
December 31, 2013.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
(Public Law 110-343, title I, subtitle B, section 113), enacted
October 3, 2008, restructured the Trust Fund Debt by 1)
refinancing the outstanding principal of the repayable
advances and unpaid interest on such advances and 2)
providing a one time Appropriation to the Trust Fund in an
amount sufficient to pay to the general fund of the Treasury
the difference between the market value of the outstanding
repayable advances, plus accrued interest and the proceeds
from the obligations issued by the Trust Fund to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The Act also extends the
temporary increase in the coal tax through December 31,
2018, and allows the prepayment of the Trust Fund debt
prior to the maturity date.

The Code designates the following receipts to be
appropriated and transferred from the general fund of the
Treasury to the trust fund: excise taxes on coal sold; taxable
expenditures of self-dealing by, and excess contributions to,
private black lung benefit trusts; reimbursements by
responsible mine operators; and related fines, penalties and
interest charges.
Estimates made by the Secretary of the Treasury
determine monthly transfers of amounts for excise taxes to the
trust fund subject to adjustments in later transfers to actual tax
receipts.
After retirement of the current indebtedness, amounts
available in the fund exceeding current expenditure
requirements will be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury
in interest-bearing public debt securities. Any interest earned
will be credited to the fund. Also credited, if necessary, will
be repayable advances from the general fund to meet outlay
requirements exceeding available revenues.
To carry out the program, amounts are made available to
the Department of Labor (DOL). Also charged to the fund are
administrative expenses incurred by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) and the Treasury, repayments of
advances from the general fund and interest on advances.
The Code requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit
an annual report to Congress after consultation with the
Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of HHS [26 United
States Code 9602(a)]. The report must present the financial
condition and results of operations of the fund during the past
fiscal year and the expected condition and operations of the
fund during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund
The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund was established on
the books of the Treasury on April 1, 1987, according to the
Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99662, November 17, 1986) (26 United States Code 9505).
Amounts in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund are
available as provided by appropriation acts for making
expenditures to carry out section 210(a) of the Water
Resources Development Act of 1986. The appropriations act
for the Department of Transportation (DOT) for fiscal year
1995 (Public Law 103-331, September 28, 1994), section
339, waived collection of charges or tolls on the Saint
Lawrence Seaway in accordance with section 13(b) of the
Act of May 13, 1954 (as in effect on April 1, 1987).
Legislation was passed in the North American Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (Public Law 103-182,
section 683), which amends paragraph (3) of section 9505(c)
of the IRC of 1986, to authorize payment of up to $5 million
annually to Treasury for all expenses of administration
incurred by the Treasury, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the Department of Commerce (Commerce) related to the
administration of subchapter A of chapter 36 (relating to
harbor maintenance tax). Section 201 of the Water

Resources Development Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-303)
authorizes use of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for
construction of dredged material disposal facilities
associated with the operation and maintenance of Federal
navigation projects for commercial navigation.
A summary judgment issued October 25, 1995, by the
United States Court of International Trade in the case United
States Shoe Corp. v. United States (Court No. 94-11-00668)
found the Harbor Maintenance fee unconstitutional under the
Export Clause of the Constitution (Article I, section 9, clause
5) and enjoined the Customs Service from collecting the fee.
The decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court on
March 31, 1998 (118 Supreme Court 1290). With the tax on
exports no longer collected, revenues have been reduced by
approximately 30 percent.
The Code requires the Secretary of the Treasury to
submit an annual report to Congress [26 United States Code
9602(a)]. The report must present the financial condition and
results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year
and the expected condition and operations of the fund during
the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Hazardous Substance Superfund
The Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund was
established on the books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1981,
in accordance with section 221 of the Hazardous Substance
Response Revenue Act of 1980 [42 United States Code
9631(a), repealed]. The trust fund was renamed the
Hazardous Substance Superfund (Superfund) and relocated
in accordance with section 517 of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 [Public Law
99-499, dated October 17, 1986 (26 United States Code
9507)].
The authority to collect excise taxes on petroleum and
chemicals, and an environmental tax for all corporations

with modified alternative taxable income in excess of $2
million, expired in 1995. To implement the Superfund
program, amounts are appropriated from the Superfund to
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
programmatic and administrative expenses.
An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of
Treasury is required by 26 United States Code 9602(a).
These reports present the financial condition of the
Superfund and the results of operation for the past fiscal
year, and its expected condition during the next 5 fiscal
years.

INTRODUCTION: Highway Trust Fund
The Highway Trust Fund was established on the books
of the Treasury in fiscal year 1957, according to provisions
of the Highway Revenue Act of 1956 (Act of June 29, 1956,
chapter 462, section 209). It has been amended and extended
by various highway surface transportation and other acts
since 1959. Section 1110(d) of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For
Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Public Law 109-59) extended the
Highway Trust Fund to be available for making expenditures
before September 30, 2009 (October 1, 2009, in the case of
expenditures for administrative expenses).
Amounts equivalent to taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel,
special motor fuels, certain tires, heavy trucks and trailers,
and heavy vehicle use are designated by the Act to be
appropriated and transferred from the general fund of the
Treasury to the trust fund. These transfers are made twice
monthly based on estimates by the Secretary of the Treasury,
subject to later adjustments to reflect the amount of actual
tax receipts. Amounts available in the fund exceeding outlay
requirements are invested in non-interest-bearing public debt
securities.
Within the fund is a mass transit account, funded by a
portion of the excise tax collections under sections 4041 and
4081 of the IRC (title 26 United States Code). The funds
from this account are used for expenditures in accordance
with chapter 53 of title 49 United States Code, the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(Public Law 102-240), the Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century (TEA-21), and SAFETEA-LU. The remaining
excise taxes are included in a separate account within the

trust fund commonly referred to as the highway account.
Expenditures from this account are made according to the
provisions of various transportation acts.
Amounts required for outlays to carry out the eligible
surface transportation programs are made available to the
responsible operating administrations within the Department
of Transportation. Other charges to the trust fund are made
by the Secretary of the Treasury for transfer of certain taxes
to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Aquatic
Resources Trust Fund.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of Transportation, is required to submit annual
reports to Congress by section 9602(a) of title 26 United
States Code. These reports cover the financial condition and
results of operations of the fund for the past fiscal year and
expected condition and operations during the next 5 fiscal
years.
In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is required by
26 U.S.C. 9503(d)(7) to report to specified Congressional
Committees any estimate which he, in consultation with the
Secretary of Transportation, makes pursuant to 26 U.S.C.
9503(d)(1) or any determination which he makes pursuant to
26 U.S.C. 9503(d)(2). The Congressional Committees are
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Finance of the Senate,
the Committees on the Budget of both Houses, the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives, and the Committee on
Environment and Public Works of the Senate.

INTRODUCTION: Inland Waterways Trust Fund
The Inland Waterways Trust Fund was established by the
Treasury in fiscal year 1984, pursuant to section 203 of the
Inland Waterways Revenue Act of 1978 (Public Law 95502) and continued pursuant to section 1405 of the Water
Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662,
codified at 26 United States Code 9506). Under 26 United
States Code 9506(b), amounts from taxes on fuel used in
commercial transportation on inland waterways, as
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, are
appropriated to the trust fund.
The Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988
(Public Law 100-647, approved November 10, 1988)
increased the tax each year, 1990 through 1995. These
amounts are transferred quarterly from the general fund
based on estimates made by the Secretary, subject to
adjustments in later transfers to the amounts of actual tax
receipts.

The Secretary of the Treasury invests in interest-bearing
obligations of the United States that portion of the trust fund,
in his judgment, not required to meet current withdrawals.
The interest on, and proceeds from, the sale or redemption of
any obligation held in the trust fund is credited to the trust
fund. The Inland Waterways Revenue Act of 1978 (Public
Law 95-502) provides that amounts in the trust fund shall be
available as provided, by appropriations acts, for
construction and rehabilitation expenditures for navigation
on the inland and intracoastal waterways of the United States
described in 33 United States Code 1804. Expenditures must
be otherwise authorized by law.
Annual reports to Congress are required by 26 United
States Code 9602(a) to be submitted by the Secretary of the
Treasury. These reports are required to cover the financial
condition and the results of operations of the fund during the
past fiscal year and its expected condition and operations
during the next 5 fiscal years.

TRUST FUNDS

INTRODUCTION: Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund
The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust
Fund was established in fiscal year 1981 according to
provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510,
codified at 26 United States Code 9508), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act of 1986
(Public Law 99-499, dated October 17, 1986), sections 13163I
and 13242(d)(42) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1993 (Public Law 103-66, dated August 10, 1993), and
section 1032(e)(13) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1987
(Public Law 105-34, dated August 5, 1997).
The LUST Trust Fund is financed by taxes collected on
gasoline, diesel fuels, special motor fuels, aviation fuels and
fuels used in commercial transportation on inland

waterways. Amounts available in the LUST Trust Fund,
exceeding current expenditure requirements, are invested by
the Secretary of the Treasury in interest-bearing Government
securities (e.g., Treasury bills). All interest earned is credited
directly to the LUST Trust Fund.
To carry out the LUST program, amounts are
appropriated for the LUST Trust Fund to the EPA for
programmatic and administrative expenses.
An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury is required by 26 United States Code 9602(a).
These reports present the financial condition of the LUST
Trust Fund and results of operations for the past fiscal year
and its expected condition and operations during the next 5
fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Nuclear Waste Fund
The Nuclear Waste Fund was established on the books of
the Treasury in fiscal year 1983, according to section 302 of
the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 [Public Law 97-425,
codified at 42 United States Code 10222I]. Receipts
represent fees collected from public utilities based on
electricity generated by nuclear power reactors and spent
nuclear fuel. Expenditures from the fund are for purposes of
radioactive waste disposal activities.
Amounts available in the fund exceeding current needs
may be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in
obligations of the United States (1) having maturities in
tandem with the needs of the waste fund and (2) bearing
interest at rates determined appropriate, taking into

consideration the current average market yield on
outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with
remaining periods to maturity comparable to the maturities
of such investments, except that the interest rate on such
investments shall not exceed the average interest rate
applicable to existing borrowings.
An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of the
Department of Energy (DOE), is required by 42 United
States Code 10222(e)(1). This report must present the
financial condition and the results of operations of the waste
fund during the preceding fiscal year.

INTRODUCTION: Reforestation Trust Fund
The Reforestation Trust Fund was established on the
books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1981 to continue
through September 30, 1985, according to provisions of
Title III—Reforestation, of the Recreational Boating Safety
and Facilities Improvement Act of 1980 [Public Law 96451, codified at 16 United States Code 1606a(a)].
The act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
transfer to the trust fund tariffs, limited to not more than $30
million for any fiscal year, received in the Treasury from
October 1, 1979, through September 30, 1985, on (1) rough
and primary wood products and wood waste; (2) lumber,
flooring and moldings; and (3) wood veneers, plywood,
other wood-veneer assemblies and building boards. Public
Law 99-190, title II, 99 Statutes at Large 1245, extended the
receipts for the trust fund. Amounts available in the
reforestation trust fund exceeding current withdrawals are
invested in interest-bearing obligations of the United States

or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest
by the United States. The interest on, and the proceeds from
the sale or redemption of, any obligations are credited to the
trust fund.
The Secretary of the Department of Agriculture is
authorized to obligate available sums in the trust fund
(including any amounts not obligated in previous years) for
(1) reforestation and timber stand improvement and (2)
administrative costs of the Government for these activities.
Annual reports are required by 16 United States Code
1606aI (1) to be submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury,
after consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, on the
financial condition and the results of the operations of the
trust fund during the past fiscal year and on its expected
condition and operations during the next fiscal year.

INTRODUCTION: Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund
The Aquatic Resources Trust Fund (ARTF) was
established on the books of the Treasury pursuant to the
Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 [Public Law 98-369, division
A, title X, section 1016(a), approved July 18, 1984]. The
ARTF was restructured and renamed the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund by the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act:
A Legacy for Users or “SAFETEA-LU” [Public Law 10959, title XI, subtitle B, part 2, section 11115, approved
August 10, 2005,] as amended by the Sportfishing and
Recreational Boating Safety Amendments Act of 2005
[Public Law 109-74, approved September 29, 2005].
Section 3 of the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration
Act, 16 United States Code 777, provides authorization of
appropriations to the states to carry out the provisions of the
act, and Section 4 provides the division of the remaining
annual appropriation not authorized in Section 3.
SAFETEA-LU comprehensively amended Section 3 and
reauthorized the Sport Fish Restoration Program (for fiscal
years 2006-2009) to permanently appropriate boating safety
funds; to modify distribution of funds whereby all accounts
receive a fixed percentage of the total fund annually; and to
modify the excise tax on certain sport fishing equipment.
From October 1, 2010, through June 30, 2012, the authority
for SAFETEA-LU was extended via several public laws. In
June 2012, Public Law 112-141, Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), established new authority
for Section 4 through September 30, 2014.

March 2014

Effective October 1, 2005, motorboat fuel taxes (less $1
million transferred to the Land and Water Conservation
Fund) and small engine gasoline taxes [pursuant to the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, Public Law
101-508, title XI, section 11211(i) (2) and (3)] were
transferred from the Highway Trust Fund to the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. In addition, amounts
equivalent to the excise taxes received on sport fishing
equipment and import duties on fishing tackle, yachts, and
pleasure craft are appropriated into the fund.
Amounts in the trust fund are used, as provided by
appropriation acts, for the purposes of carrying out the
Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act, approved
August 9, 1950; Section 7404(d) of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century; and the Coastal Wetlands
Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (each as in effect
on the date of enactment of the MAP-21).
The general provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b)
are responsible for making amounts available in the fund
exceeding outlay requirements to be invested in public debt
securities with the interest credited to the fund.
As required by 26 United States Code 9602(a), annual
reports to Congress must be submitted by the Secretary of
the Treasury. These reports will cover the financial condition
and results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal
year and those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund was established on the
books of the Treasury by section 8033 of the Omnibus Budget

effective on January 1, 1990, by section 7811(m)(3) of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Public Law
101-239) and amended by section 9001of the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-380). The Energy Improvement
and Extension Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-343) increased
the barrel tax on petroleum from five cents per barrel to eight
cents from 2009 through 2016, and to nine cents in 2017. The
act also repeals the requirement that the tax be suspended
when the unobligated balance exceeds $2.7 billion.
Amounts equivalent to the taxes received from the
environmental tax on petroleum, but only to the extent of the
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund rate, are appropriated to the
fund.
Certain amounts were transferred from other funds and
were appropriated to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund as

March 2014

provided by 26 United States Code 9509(b). Certain paid
penalties and amounts recovered for damages are also
appropriated to the fund.
Amounts in the fund are available for oil spill cleanup
costs and certain other related purposes as provided by
appropriations acts or section 6002(b) of the Oil Pollution Act
of 1990 (Public Law 101-380).
When the provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b) are
met, amounts available in the fund exceeding outlay
requirements are invested in public debt securities. Interest is
credited to the fund.
Annual reports to Congress, required by 26 United States
Code 9602(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury.
These reports are required to cover the financial condition and
results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year and
those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Agriculture Disaster Relief Trust Fund
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Public
Law 110-246) created the “Agriculture Disaster Relief Trust
Fund” (Disaster Trust Fund). The Disaster Trust Fund is
described in Section 902 of the public law.
The Disaster Trust Fund is appropriated an amount
equivalent to 3.08 percent of the amounts received in the
general fund of the Treasury of the United States during fiscal
years 2008 through 2011 attributable to the duties collected on
articles entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for
consumption under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States. The collection activity is made by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). The CBP transfers the funds monthly to the
Disaster Trust Fund Receipt Account.
The Disaster Trust Fund shall make amounts available
for the purpose of expenditures to meet obligations of the
United States incurred under Section 901 of the Trade Act of
1974 and Section 531 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act.
The Disaster Trust Fund will be used to make payments to
farmers and ranchers under five disaster programs.
 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments
Program (SURE)
 Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP)





Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP)
Tree Assistance Program (TAP)
Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees,
and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP)
The Farm Service Agency shall invest such portions of
the Disaster Trust Fund that is not required to meet current
payment amounts. Investments may only be made in interest
bearing obligations of the United States.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) created the “Agriculture Disaster
Relief Trust Fund, Recovery Act” (Disaster Trust FundRecovery Act). The Disaster Trust Fund-Recovery Act
provided for additional payments to farmers and ranchers from
the SURE and TAP programs. The additional payments are
tracked separately to meet the ARRA reporting requirements.
The Disaster Trust Fund has indefinite borrowing
authority via repayable advances.
Annual reports to Congress, required by 19 United States
Code 2497(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury.
These reports are required to cover the financial condition and
results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year and
those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

Glossary
With References to Applicable Sections and Tables
Source: Bureau of the Fiscal Service
Amounts outstanding and in circulation (USCC)—Includes
all issues by the Bureau of the Mint purposely intended as a
medium of exchange. Coins sold by the Bureau of the Mint at
premium prices are excluded; however, uncirculated coin sets
sold at face value plus handling charge are included.

Second Liberty Loan Act of 1917, the nature of the limitation
was modified until, in 1941, it developed into an overall limit
on the outstanding Federal debt. As of September 2013, the
debt limit was 16,699,421 million; the limit may change from
year to year.

Average discount rate (PDO-1, -2)—In Treasury bill auctions,
purchasers tender competitive bids on a discount rate basis.
The average discount rate is the weighted, or adjusted,
average of all bids accepted in the auction.

Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3101(b): By the Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2014, Public Law 113-46, the Statutory
Debt Limit has been suspended and shall not apply for the
period beginning October 17, 2013, and ending on February 7,
2014.

Budget authority (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Congress
passes laws giving budget authority to Government entities,
which gives the agencies the power to spend Federal funds.
Congress can stipulate various criteria for the spending of
these funds. For example, Congress can stipulate that a given
agency must spend within a specific year, number of years, or
any time in the future.
The basic forms of budget authority are appropriations,
authority to borrow, contract authority, and authority to
obligate and expend offsetting receipts and collections. The
period of time during which Congress makes funds available
may be specified as 1-year, multiple-year, or no-year. The

Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing
notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.)
Discount rate (PDO-1)—The difference between par value

Government account series (FD-2)—Certain trust fund
statutes require the Secretary of the Treasury to apply monies
held by these funds toward the issuance of nonmarketable
special securities. These securities are sold directly by
Treasury to a specific Government agency, trust fund, or
account. Their rate is based on an average of market yields on
outstanding Treasury obligations, and they may be redeemed
at the option of the holder. Roughly 80 percent of these are
issued to five holders: the Federal Old-Age and Survivors

IMF based on members’ quotas in IMF. Although shown in
Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities,
they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of
liquidation of, or U.S. withdrawal from, the SDR department

delivery within 2 workdays.
State and local government series (SLGS) (FD-2)—Special
nonmarketable certificates, notes, and bonds offered to State
and local governments as a means to invest proceeds from
their own tax-exempt financing. Interest rates and maturities
comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in
both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit
certificates have maturities of up to 1 year. Notes mature in 1
to 10 years and bonds mature in more than 10 years. Demand
deposit securities are 1-day certificates rolled over with a rate
adjustment daily.
Statutory debt limit (FD-6)—By Act of Congress there is a

and Principal Securities. Long-term notes and bonds may be
divided into principal and interest-paying components, which
may be transferred and sold in amounts as small as $1,000.

for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the
issue’s interest rate.
