A program or project is considered to be fully funded
if the budget authority requested and made available is for the
total cost of that program to be initiated in the budget year. &
study was undertaken of multiyear programs whether or not
obligations for the entire program were made at cue time.
Findings/Conclusions: To be considered fcr ccnversion to full
funding, a program or project shouLd: be a discrete, ultiyear
program with a planned completion date; be subject to total cost
estimating; not be subject to changes in desigv that would
affect funding levels significantly; and be a commitment to the
extent that there is clear evidence that the Government intends
to fund the program to completion. Factors to be considered for
.full funding involve diminished control by.the Congress over
outlays, fluctuation of budget estimates, and increases in
unobligated balances. Full funaing is usually thcught of as
being applicable mainly to major construction and procurement.
Other categories with programs that could possibly be considered
for full funding include research and development, subsidies,
and social-type programs. Areas deserving spe~ial attention are
land acquisition, ADP leases and purchases, grants for
construction of transit systems, programs with total dollar
limita-ions, grant programs for phased construction, pension
type programs, and revolving funds. Two possibilities for the
availability of funds are no-year authority and multiyear
authority. A list of 60 accounts with potential fcr ccnversion
to full funding is included. (BBS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxzg0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
