5 Unauthorized Appropriations and Expiring Authorizations Overview Each year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports to the Congress on the following: All programs and activities funded for the current fiscal year for which authorizations of appropriations have expired, and All programs and activities for which authorizations of appropriations will expire during the current fiscal year. The requirement for that report is specified in section 202(e)(3) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). 1 The Role of Authorizations The term authorization is used to describe two types of laws. One is an organic, or enabling, statute, which creates a federal agency, establishes a federal program, prescribes a federal function, or provides for a particular federal obligation or expenditure within a program. That type of authorization may allow a federal agency, program, or function to continue indefinitely or only for a specific period. Such an authorization may provide an agency with the authority to obligate and spend federal 1. See H. Rept , p. 114 (December 10, 1985), the conference report accompanying the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, which amended the Congressional Budget Act to include the requirement for this report. The stated purpose of the requirement is to help Congress use the early months of the year to adopt authorizing legislation that must be in place before the regular appropriation bills can be considered. funds in the form of direct, or mandatory, spending, or it may simply specify a purpose for which a subsequent appropriation may be made available. This report focuses on the second type of law described by the term authorization : a specific provision that authorizes the appropriation of funds (generally providing for what is known as discretionary spending) to carry out the program or function established in the enabling statute. Such a provision constitutes guidance to the Congress regarding the amount of funding that may be necessary to implement the enabling statute. An authorization of appropriations may be contained in an enabling statute or may be provided separately. Such an authorization may set a specific dollar amount (a definite authorization) or allow the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary (an indefinite authorization), and it may be annual, multiyear, or permanent. House and Senate rules dating from the 19th century contain restrictions on the consideration of appropriations that are unauthorized. 2 Whether an appropriation is unauthorized and whether it is a violation of a House or Senate rule are determined by the Speaker of the House or the Presiding Officer of the Senate, respectively, on the basis of advice from the respective House s Office of the Parliamentarian. Although this report is intended to aid the Congress by identifying those authorizations of appropriations that have already expired or will expire this year, it is not and should not be considered definitive with respect to the application of House or Senate rules. 2.

6 2 UNAUTHORIZED APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPIRING AUTHORIZATIONS JANUARY 2015 Listing of Unauthorized Appropriations and Expiring Authorizations This report covers all programs funded through the annual appropriation process that at one time had an explicit authorization of appropriations that has expired (see Appendix A) or that will expire this year (see Appendix B). For the purposes of this report, an appropriation is considered unauthorized when it is made available for a program after that program s authorization of appropriations has expired. This report does not address appropriations that have never been authorized. Each listing includes the number and name of the public law containing the last authorization, the last year in which the authorization was in effect, and the amount (definite or indefinite) authorized in that year. In separate versions of this report, the listings of public laws in the appendixes are displayed in three ways by House authorizing committee, by Senate authorizing committee, and by appropriations subcommittee. Each entry is listed only once, generally under the primary committee to which the bill was referred. In general, House and Senate rules require the appropriations committees, in their reports on general appropriation bills, to identify any programs that are funded in the bills but lack an authorization including programs for which an explicit authorization of appropriations has never been enacted. This CBO report, as specified by law, is narrower in scope: It covers only programs that at one time had an explicit authorization that either has expired or is scheduled to expire this year. Many laws establish programs with an authorization of appropriations that does not expire. The reports of the appropriations committees as well as this report exclude programs with that type of permanent authorization. The information in this report is drawn from CBO s Legislative Classification System, a database containing all public laws that include nonpermanent authorizations of appropriations up to and including laws enacted during the second session of the 113th Congress. Programs Funded in Fiscal Year 2015 With Expired Authorizations of Appropriations Appendix A lists programs and activities funded by an appropriation for fiscal year 2015 whose authorization has expired. If the applicable 2015 appropriation law or its legislative history provides an explicit amount of funding for a program, that amount is shown under Unauthorized 2015 Appropriations in Appendix A. If no amount is provided (as in the case of a program or activity that is funded at an unspecified level in an appropriation account), CBO determined whether the program or activity is still being funded, and if so, how much is allocated for it. If that amount cannot be identified, the listing notes that the specific dollar amount of the unauthorized 2015 appropriation is not available. As of the publication date of this report, no full-year appropriations act has been signed into law for the Department of Homeland Security. Programs of the department normally funded through appropriations are currently funded by a continuing resolution (Division L of Public Law ), which expires on February 27, Therefore, for that department, this report shows the programs with expired authorizations, but omits amounts and totals of appropriations for those programs. Lawmakers appropriated about $294 billion for fiscal year 2015 for programs and activities whose authorizations of appropriations have expired (see Tables 1, 2, and 3); in 2014, about $302 billion was appropriated for such programs. The difference stems from several factors. Recently expired authorizations, including those in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (with appropriations of $4 billion) and the Serve America Act ($0.5 billion), increased the total of unauthorized appropriations for In contrast, lawmakers enacted the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (P.L ) and the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 (P.L ), which, together, reauthorized programs that received about $10 billion in Because full-year appropriations have not yet been enacted for the Department of Homeland Security, the 2015 total provided above does not include any amount for its programs. In 2014, unauthorized appropriations for the department totaled $2 billion. Several large agencies or programs have expired authorizations, including the National Institutes of Health (with CBO

7 JANUARY 2015 UNAUTHORIZED APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPIRING AUTHORIZATIONS 3 appropriations of $29 billion for 2015), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (with appropriations of $17 billion for 2015). Some other large appropriations with expired authorizations are those for programs authorized in the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law , $26 billion), the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (P.L , $25 billion), the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (P.L , $24 billion), and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L , $22 billion). Authorizations of Appropriations That Expire On or Before September 30, 2015 For certain programs and activities, the authorization of appropriations will expire by the end of fiscal year Appendix B shows the amount authorized to be appropriated in 2015 for those programs and activities, not the amounts actually appropriated for that year. Definite, or specified, authorizations that will expire by the end of this fiscal year total about $648 billion (see Tables 4, 5, and 6). Most of that amount, about $577 billion, is authorized in a single law, the Carl Levin and Howard P. Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (P.L ). Typically, authorizations for defense funding are renewed annually. Some other definite authorizations that are expiring at the end of 2015 are those for the Federal Aviation Administration ($12.7 billion was authorized in 2015), the Coast Guard ($8.7 billion in 2015), the Community Health Center Fund ($3.6 billion in 2015), and the Securities and Exchange Commission ($2.3 billion in 2015). Authorizations of appropriations for programs covered by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act, totaling $34.8 billion, will expire on May 31, Many of the authorizations in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have already expired, but a number of definite (totaling $2 billion) and indefinite authorizations will expire at the end of CBO
