OGC-91-11 1 (1991-08-20)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabrch0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ate United $6t00 W8 *, .C. iSm B-24 1514. 11 fjf 144690 August 20, 1991 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives On June 28, 1991, the President submitted to the Congress his fifth special impoundment message for fiscal year 1991. This message revises the amounts of two deferrals and reports two proposed rescissions of budget authority. We have reviewed the deferrals and found them to be in accordance with the Impoundment Control Act, 2 U.S.C. § 681, et seq., as amended. We have also reviewed the proposed rescisi-ons as required by the Act and have the following comments. Proposal Number R91-28 proposes rescissions totalling $115,000,000 from funds appropriated to the Economic Development Administration for economic development assistance programs to partially offset supplemental funding requirements of the Disaster Relief account of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Proposal number R91-29 proposes rescinding $427,000,000 from funds appropriated to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for annual contributions for assisted housing.1/ This rescission is also proposed to partially fund a supplemental appropriation for FEMA. 1/ A rescission in this account, R91-20, totalling T500,000,000 was proposed by the President on February 28, 1991 in his third special impoundment message. Under the Impoundment Control Act funds made available for obligation under rescission procedures may not be proposed for rescission again. 2 U.S.C. § 683(b). Pursuant to section 1012(b) of the Impoundment Control Act, the funds were made available for obligation on May 13, 1991. See GAOAOGC-91-10, B-241514.9, May 31, 1991. However, the funds currently proposed for rescission in R91-29 do not seem to involve the same budget authority previously released. R91-20 sought to rescind funds allocated to construction of new and rental public housing, whereas the current proposal involves funds allocated (by Public Law 101-507) to certificates, vouchers for public housing relocation, assistance for property disposition and opt-out certificates.
