WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 IN IMPLY B-196797 N rPER TO: OFFlICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL August 14, 1980 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives The purpose of this letter is to report on the lstatus of budget authority that- -ws proposed for deferral, but for which Congress has expressed its disapproval. The President's seventh special message for fiscal year 1980, dated April 16, 1980, included proposed deferrals D80- 56, D80-57, and D80-65. Proposal D80-56 deferred $15.5 million available to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, for construction of the Cumberland Gap Tunnel project. Proposal D80-57 deferred approximately $190.8 million available to the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administra- tion, for employment and training assistance. Proposal D80-65 deferred approximately $3.6 billion available to the Environ- mental Protection Agency for construction grants. Deferral D80-65 was revised by the President in his ninth special mes- sage, dated May 20, 1980, to reflect an increase of approximately $11.7 million in this deferral (D80-65A). On August 1, 1980, the Senate passed two impoundment resolu- tions as defined by section 1011 of the Impoundment Control Act. Senate Resolution 464 disapproved the deferral of budget author- ity proposed in D80-56. Senate Resolution 470 disapproved the deferral of budget authority proposed in D80-65A. Section 1013 (b) of the Impoundment Control Act requires that any amount of budget authority proposed to be deferred shall be made available for obligation if either House of Congress passes an impoundment resolution disapproving such proposed deferral. We have con- firmed that on August 5, 1980, the budget authority covered by deferrals D80-56 and D80-65A was apportioned by the Office of Management and Budget to the proper agencies for allotment to the programs involved. With regard to deferral D80-57, the Senate passed Resolu- tion 449 on June 30, 1980. Resolution 449 disapproved only a portion of the funds proposed for deferral in D80-57, namely, the $27.5 million provided for the Young Adult Conservation Corps. 113068 OGC-80-19
