Therefore, to determine the current rate of operations for the Commission it is necessary to annualize the partial-year amount over the full fis- cal year, Annualizing the $250,000 appropriation over the full year results in a figure of $1 million. Re- ducing this amount by the 4 percent reduction required by the continuing resolutiin gives a funding level of $960,000. The Chairman of the Senate Labor-LIS-Education Appropriations Subcomittee of the Comittee on Appropriations requested a decision concerning the fiscal year 1982 funding level for the National Com- mission on Student Financial Assistance. The Chairman's submission suggests that the Cormtission's funding leve. for fiscal year 1982, as provided for in the continuing resolution, Pub, Le No. 97-92, 95 Stat. 1183 (1981), as extended by Pub. L. No. 97-161, 96 Stat. 22 (1982), should be $240,000, an amount which equals the fiscal year 1981 funding level for the Commission less the 4 percent re- duction required by section 142(a) of the continuing resolution. The submission indicates, however, that the Commission takes the position that its appropriation for fiscAl year 1982 is $960,000. We requested the views of both the Commission and the Office of Management and Budget (0B) about the Commission's 1982 funding level. Both agencies indicated that the current rate of operations of the Commission in 1982 should be $250,000 per quarter, or %1,000,000 for the entire fiscal year, less 4 percent. Their conclusion was based on the fact that the Commission was only p.ovided for in the Supplemental Appropriations and Recission Act, 1981, which they assert was enacted for the last quarter of fiscal year 1981 and therefore reflected only a partial year's appropriation. Additionally, %1B asserts that the effect of fund!.ng the Coumission at only $240,000 in fiscal year 1982 would be to force the Comission ouL of existence; a result which 0B contends is not in accord with congressional intent. a A 9 9 1I
