B-205053



To the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives


119514


     The purpose of this letter is to report on the status of
budget authority that was proposed for rescission, but for
which Congress failed to pass a rescission bill as defined in
section 1011(3) of the Impoundment Control Act.

     In his fifteenth special message for fiscal year 1982,
dated July 16, 1982, the President proposed the rescission of
$16.2 million in budget authority that had been appropriated
to the Department of the Interior for the exploration of the
national petroleum reserve in Alaska (rescission proposal
R82-28). Section 1012(b) of the Impoundment Control Act
requires that funds proposed for rescission be made available
for obligation unless Congress completes action on a rescis-
sion bill within the 45-day period of continuous session fol-
lowing the day such proposal is received by Congress. For
rescission proposal R82-28, the 45-day period ended on
September 19, 1982, without Congress having passed such a
bill.

     We have confirmed that the subject budget authority was
apportioned by the Office of Management and Budget on
September 21, 1982.
