Divisions A through H of Rules Cornmnittee Print 116-44 would provide appropriations and authorities for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 for the agencies covered by 8 of the 12 annual appropriation acts. In 2020, most discretionary budget
authority is subject to Iirnits (or caps) established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25), as modified.a Separate caps exist for defense fundi ng (i n the law, revised security), which is budget function 050, and for nondefense
funding (revised nonsecurity), which encompasses all other budget functions. The Budget Control Act also provides for certain adjustments to those caps. This table delineates C BOs estimates of funding that is constrained by the 2020 caps
on defense and nondefense fundi g and the amounts that result in adjustments to those caps. This table excludes the budgetary effects of divisions I through P, which are summarized in T able 2.

BA = budget authority; H HS = Health and Human Services; H U D = Housing and Urban Development;
OCO/GWOT = overseas contingency operations/global war on terrorism; OL = outlays; VA = Veterans Affairs.


a.  For 2020, those lints total $1,288 billion' $666.5 billion for defense prograrms and $621.5 billionfornondefense programs.


b.  These amounts are designated in accordance with section 251 of the Balanced B udget and E rmergency Deficit Control Act of
    1985; the caps for fiscal year 2020 would be adjusted to accommodate these amounts. OCO consists primarily of military
    activities in Afghanistan and simlar missions. E rmergency funding consists of appropriations formally designated as required
    under section 251 (b)(2)(A)(i) of the Deficit Control Act. Disaster relief funding is for activities carried out under section 102(2)
    of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and E mergency Assistance Act, as amended. Such activities may result from a natural
    disaster that causes damage of enough severity to warrant federal assistance Program integrity initiatives seek to identify and
    reduce overpayments in certain benefit program. Appropriations for activities related to wildfire suppression and the 2020
    census also result in adjustments to the 2020 limits if they are designated in accordance with section 251 of the Deficit Control
    Act.

  c. In keeping with the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255), funding for certain H HS activities is excluded from estimates for the
    purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the Deficit Control Act. As a result this estirte excludes $567 mllion in
    budget authrity and $798 mllion in outlays. Ofthose amounts, $75 mllion in budget authrity and $64 million in outlays are
    under the jurisdiction of the Agriculture Subcomrnittee and $492 mllion in budget authority and $734 million in outlays are under
    the jurisdiction of the Labor, HHS, Education Subcomrnittee.


d. Includes the effects of newly enacted appropriations designated as emergency requirerments that were provided after CBO
   prepared its May 2019 baseline (see Congressional Budget Office, Updated Budget Projections: 2019 to 2029, May 2019,
   www.cbo.gov/publicatior/55151). Specifically, the Additional Supplemental Appropriations Act for Disaster Relief, 2019
   (P.L. 116-20, enacted on] une 6, 2019), and the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Hurmanitarian Assistance and
   Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-26, enacted onJ uly 1, 2019), provided supplemental funding for 2019
   and designated those amounts as emergency requirements in accordance with section 251 of the Budget Control Act. (Outlays
   stenrg fromemergency-designated appropriations provided before CBO published its May 2019 baseline are included
   among estirates of spending that is constrained by statutory caps.)


   This table reflects a $1 million correction to the amount of emergency-designated funding under the jurisdiction of the Military
   Constructior VA Subcormittee that was reflected in the estirte that CBO initally published on December 16, 2019.


e. Section 237 of division H (Transportation, HUD) would rescind an estimated $7 million in balances from HUD s Tenant-
   Based and Project- Based Rental Assistance accounts. Those balances were previously designated by the Congress as an
   emergency requirement before the current statutory limits on discretionary spending were put in place. In consultation with
   the House and Senate Budget Comnittees and the Office of Management and Budget, CBO has determined that rescinding
   those amounts would not result in an adjustment to the statutory limts on discretionary spending or reduce the amount of
   appropriations that are subject to the limt. As a result, CB O has excluded the estirted budgetary savings fromthis report.
