The FS is an agency within the Department of Agriculture, but it receives discretionary appropriations through the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill. FY2024 Appropr ations Budget Request The Biden Administration requested $9.73 billion in total FY2024 discretionary appropriations for the FS (see Table 1). This amount would have been an increase of $2.66 billion (38%) from FY2023 regular enacted appropriations. Updated June 10, 2024 FY2024 Enacted Appropr atons Congress appropriated $9.32 billion in total FY2024 discretionary appropriations for the FS. This total reflects regular enacted funding of $6.07 billion, $2.30 billion provided pursuant to a wildfire adjustment, and $945.2 million in additional appropriations. (See Table 1 and Figure 1.) Combined, the regular enacted funding and the wildfire adjustment total $8.37 billion, which reflects an increase of $1.30 billion from FY2023 appropriations. The $8.37 billion in regular enacted funding and wildfire adjustment were provided in P.L. 118-42, Division E. Additional FS appropriations available for FY2024 were provided in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58, Division J). Table I.
