You requested that we provide you with information on the funding, obligations, and expenditures for constructing the distribution systems and drains component of the San Luis Unit. This report summarizes the accounting information you requested. It does not address the legal issue of whether the appropriations, allotments, 1/ or obligations were proper as they relate to funding authorizations for the distribution systems and drains. As requested in your January 28, 1982, letter, our Office of General Counsel will address this issue in a separate response. Since fiscal year 1978, the Bureau of Reclamation has considered the authorized ceiling for the distribution systems and drains component to be $236,176,311. As of February 1, 1982, the Bureau had allotted from the annual lump-sum appropriations $229,434,177, which is $6,742,134 under this ceiling. As of the end of fiscal year 1981, expenditures and unliquidated obligations totaled $225,226,035, which is $10,950,276 less than what the Bureau, considers to be the authorized ceiling. I/An allotment is a distribution of appropriated funds by an agency head to his or her subordinates to incur obligations within a spec- ified amount. Prom an annual lump-sum construction appropriation, the Bureau Commissioner allots funds to individual projects, such as the San Luis Unit, in accordance with congressionally approved funding levels.
