handle is hein.gao/gaobadarc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroler General of the United States Wmbhotea, D.C. S48 6-207186 February 10, 1989 The Honorable Bill Green Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on HUD-Independent Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Green: In response to your letter of August 10, 1988, signed also by former Chairman Boland, we reviewed the propriety of the apportionment actions taken by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in July 1988, with regard to $1.5 million appropriated in fiscal year 1988 to the Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Bank (Bank), and in September 1988 with regard to funds appropriated for fiscal year 1989 to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for assistance for solar and conservation improvements. We conclude that in neither instance did OMB act improperly. In January, 1988, OMB apportioned to the Bank the $1.5 million appropriated for fiscal year 1988. On July 29, 1988, OMB withdrew that apportionment. OMB stated that the Bank's authority had expired on March 15, 1988, and no other authority existed to carry out the Bank's activities after that date. In August 1988, the Congress enacted, and the President signed, the HUD-Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1989. This act makes available to HUD for assistance for solar and conservation improvements* all funds recaptured from the $1.5 million appropriated in fiscal year 1988. OMB, on September 19, 1988, refused to apportion any part of the $1.5 million because, according to OMB, Ono recaptures of 1988 appropriated monies will occur in 1989.
