[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 72 (Friday, April 13, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 16129-16130] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-07653] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET OMB Final Sequestration Report to the President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2018 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 2018. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: OMB is issuing its Final Sequestration Report to the President and Congress for FY 2018 to report on compliance of enacted 2018 discretionary appropriations legislation with the discretionary caps. The report includes adjustments to the 2018 and 2019 caps for changes in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and it finds that enacted appropriations are within those discretionary caps for 2018. As a result, a sequestration of discretionary budget authority is not required in 2018. The report also finds that enacted supplemental appropriations for 2017 are within the 2017 caps. DATES: Release Date: April 6, 2018. Section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, requires the Office of Management and [[Page 16130]] 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 2018 Continuing Resolution delayed the release of this report until 15 days after the 2018 Continuing Resolution expired on March 23, 2018. ADDRESSES: The OMB Sequestration Reports to the President and Congress is available on-line on the OMB home page at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/legislative/sequestration-reports-orders/.

a Allannual totals reflect a three year clearance and study data collection period.
b The number of respondents and average time per response for the grantee survey are based on an assumption that 96 grantees will take an
average of 20 minutes to respond (involving 1 respondent for 10 minutes and a second respondent for 10 minutes).
c Assumes each visit will, on average, involve individual or group interviews with approximately 13 respondents (2 site administrators, 5 front-
line staff, and 6 partners per site). The team anticipates completing up to 42 visits in total, with some sites being visited once and some being
visited twice. The average burden time per response will be 1 hour, although some meetings will be shorter and some will be longer. To account
for the fact that a subset of sites will receive two visits, the number of responses per respondent is calculated as 1.68.
d The total number of respondents is 3,780 participants who will complete the BIF. This assumes the baseline information forms (BIF) will take
an average of 10 minutes for participants to complete.
e Study participants will respond to the BIF once. Each program staff will be responsible for data entering approximately 126 BIFs into the
RAS. The total burden represents the sum of the participant burden across participants and program staff (3,780 participants * 1 response * .17
of an hour = 643 burden hours) + (30 program staff * 126 responses to data enter * .17 of an hour = 643 burden hours) for a grand total, with
rounding,of 1,285 burden hours (which equates to approximately 428 annual burden hours per the three years of the study).
