GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP 114TH CONGRESS REPORT 2d Session SENATE 114-238 ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF BUDGET TOTALS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017 APRIL 18, 2016.-Ordered to be printed Mr. COCHRAN, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the following REPORT The Committee on Appropriations submits the following report pursuant to section 302(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and section 102 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74). The Congressional Budget Act requires that as soon as prac- ticable after a concurrent resolution on the budget is agreed to, the Committee on Appropriations shall submit to the Senate a report subdividing among its subcommittees the new budget authority and total outlays allocated to the Committee in the joint explana- tory statement accompanying the conference report on such a reso- lution.

Also, for fiscal year 2012, and again in fiscal year 2013, such a procedure was contained in the Budget Control Act of 2011. No budget resolutions were adopted by Congress in any of those years. A similar procedure (S. Res. 308; 101st Con- gress) was agreed to in the Senate on July 12, 1990, providing an 59-010 PDF
