(1) $30,400,000;
(2) $1,636,619,522


31 U.S.C.
§ 1517


(1) NASA did not seek reapportionment
of funds transferred to the reported
account, resulting in obligations in
excess of the Space Flight Capabilities
apportionment; (2) $1.637 billion was
obligated in FY 2005 in excess of
eleven affected accounts for the
estimated unobligated balances carried
into FY 2005.


NASA performed an account
adjustment to reconcile and balance
the Space Flight Capabilities
account; the excess obligations were
corrected by subsequent
apportionments. Corrective action
includes a comprehensive
demonstration to the NASA
Administrator of systems controls
that will prevent obligations from
exceeding apportionment totals.
