This Bulletin provides instructions on the financial plans that the agencies are required to submit to the Committee on Appropriations and supplements instructions for apportioning in OMB Circular No. A-34.

2. Apportionments. You must request a written apportionment as soon as possible. When you request a written apportionment, be careful not to request a deficiency apportionment, that is, do not request an amount that would anticipate the need for a supplemental appropriation. Place amounts which would, except for section 626, be available after June 15, 1999, on line 5, with the notation "Not available pursuant to P.L. 105-277."

3. Agency Financial Plans. Prepare an agency financial plan for each account covered by section 626. Follow the instructions in the attachment. Submit the plans to the OMB RMO, with primary budget responsibility for the account. Do this as soon as possible, but not later than November 18. When you receive OMB clearance, transmit one copy to each of the Committees on Appropriations.

Exhibit 2 is an illustration of a monthly financial plan for the account in exhibit 1. Use the format in exhibit 2 for the monthly financial plans to be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations.
