| SUBJECT: |
Apportionment Under Continuing Resolutions for Fiscal Year 1998 |
1. Purpose. This
Supplement provides instructions on apportionment of amounts provided
by continuing resolutions (CR) for FY 1998.
2. Background. The second CR (H.J.RES. 97) extended the first CR (P-L. 105-46)
through November 7, 1998.
3. Automatic Apportionment. This Supplement supersedes previous apportionments (made automatically
or in writing) of amounts provided by the first CR.
The amounts automatically
apportioned by this Supplement are available through the period
ending November 7, 1997, and are calculated by multiplying the rate
provided by the CR by 10.4 %. For the rate provided, use the rate
for operations not exceeding tire current rate for
the project or activity, except if:
(a) The President's
Budget request, the amount as passed by the House (if any),
and the Senate (if any) are less than the amount for current
operations. Use the rate for operations not exceeding the greater of the rates that would be provided by the budget request the amount
as passed the House, or the amount as passed the Senate for the
account.
(b) Zero-funded
by the House and/or Senate but the project or activity was conducted
in FY 1997 and there is an FY 1998 budget request.
Use the rate for operations not exceeding the lesser of the rates that would be provided by the budget request or the
rate for current operations for the account.
4. Written Apportionment. A written apportionment is required if an amount different from
the total amount automatically apportioned by this Supplement is
needed.
