Fiscal Year 2017

AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and 
Budget.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the OMB Final Sequestration Report to 
the President and Congress for FY 2017.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: OMB is issuing its Final Sequestration Report to the President 
and Congress for FY 2017 to report on compliance of enacted 2017 
discretionary appropriations legislation with the discretionary caps. 
The report finds that enacted appropriations are within the current law 
defense and non-defense discretionary limits for 2017; therefore, a 
sequestration of discretionary budget authority is not required. The 
report also finds that enacted supplemental appropriations for 2016 are 
within the 2016 caps.

DATES: Effective May 22, 2016. Section 254 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, requires the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue its Final Sequestration Report 
15 calendar days after the end of a congressional session. With regard 
to this final report and to each of the three required sequestration 
reports, section 254(b) specifically states the following:

    SUBMISSION AND AVAILABILITY OF REPORTS.--Each report required by 
this section shall be submitted, in the case of CBO, to the House of 
Representatives, the Senate and OMB and, in the case of OMB, to the 
House of Representatives, the Senate, and the President on the day 
it is issued. On the following day a notice of the report shall be 
printed in the Federal Register.

However, a provision in the 2017 Continuing Resolution, which was in 
place until May 5, 2017, delayed the release of this report until 15 
days after

[[Page 23840]]

the 2017 Continuing Resolution expired on May 5, 2017.
