BULLETIN
NO. 01-01
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE
DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT:
Apportionment of the Continuing Resolution(s)
for Fiscal Year 2001
1. Purpose and
Background. H. J. Res 109 provides continuing appropriations
for the period October 1 through October 6, 2000. I am apportioning
amounts provided by this continuing resolution (CR), and any extensions
of this CR, as specified in section 2. This Bulletin supplements
instructions for apportionment of CRs in OMB Circular No. A-34.
2. Automatic
Apportionments. Calculate the amount automatically apportioned
through the period ending October 6, 2000 (and any extensions of
that period), by multiplying the rate (amount) provided by the CR
by the lower of:
- the percentage of
the year covered by the CR; or,
- the historical seasonal
rate of obligations for the period of the year covered by the
CR.
See the Attachment
to this Bulletin for more detailed instructions on calculating the
amount automatically apportioned.
Under an automatic
apportionment, all of the footnotes and conditions placed on the
prior year apportionment remain in effect.
The CR expires on midnight
on Friday, October 6, 2000.
3. Written
Apportionments. If a program requires an amount different
from the total amount automatically apportioned, you must request
a written apportionment.

Calculating
the Automatic Apportionment
Calculate the amount
automatically apportioned through the period ending October 6,
2000 (and any extensions of that period) by multiplying the rate
(amount) provided by the CR by the lower of:
- the percentage
of the year covered by the CR, or
- the historical
seasonal rate of obligations for the period of the
year covered by the CR.
1. What is
the rate (amount) provided by the CR? The rate (amount)
provided by the CR could be one of the following annual
amounts:
- the current
rate, calculated as follows:
- take the net
amount enacted in FY 2000, i.e., add any supplemental appropriations
and subtract any rescissions; and
- add the unobligated
balance carried forward to FY 2000 (if any);
- the amount in
the President's budget request; or
- the rate of operations
not exceeding the current rate, calculated as follows:
- take the net
amount enacted in FY 2000, i.e., add any supplemental appropriations
and subtract any rescissions;
- add the unobligated
balance carried forward to FY 2000 (if any), and
- subtract the
unobligated balance at the end of FY 2000 (if any).
