Estimates are relative to CBO-s May 2019 baseline. BA = budget authority; HUD = Department of Housing and Urban Development; 0 = outlays; OMB = Office of Management and Budget. a. In fiscal year 2020, most discretionary budget authority is subject to limits established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25), as modified. Undercurrent law, those limits total $1,288 billion: $666.5 billion for defense programs (in the law, revised security) and $621.5 billion for nondefense programs (revised nonsecurity). The authority to determine whether funding provided for fiscal year 2020 exceeds those caps' that is, whether a sequestration is required, and if so, how to apply necessary reductions in budget authority' rests with OMB. b. Designated, in keeping with section 251(b)(2) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act for specific activities that are not subject to statutory limits on new discretionary budget authority. Those limits for fiscal year 2020 would be adjusted to accommodate these amounts. c. In keeping with the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255), funding for certain activities of the Department of Health and Human Services' including amounts for specific activities of the Food and Drug Admi nistration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration' is excluded from estimates for the purposes of both the Deficit Control Act and the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. As a result, this estimate excludes $75 million in budget authority and $64 million in outlays under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Agriculture. d. Includes the effects of appropriations designated as emergency requirements 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/publication/55151). Specifically, the Additional d. continued Supplemental Appropriations Act for Disaster Relief, 2019 (P.L. 116-20, enacted on June 6, 2019), and the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-26, enacted on July 1, 2019), provided supplemental funding for 2019 and designated those amounts as emergency requi rerments in accordance with section 251 of the B udget Control Act. (Outlays stemming from emergency-designated appropriations provided before CBO published its May 2019 baseline are included among estimates of spending that is constrained by statutory caps.) e. Section 235 of division D (Transportation, HUD) would rescind an estimated $7 million in balances from H U D 's Tenant-Based and Project-Based Rental Assistance accounts. Those amounts were previously designated by the Congress as an emergency requirerment before the current statutory limits on discretionary spending were put in place. In consultation with the Senate B udget Committee and OMB, C BO has determined that those rescissions would neither result in an adjustment to the statutory limits on discretionary spending nor reduce the amount of appropriations that are subject to that limit. As a result, CBO has excluded from this estimate the budgetary savings stemming from those rescissions.
