SUBJECT: Information required for the Mid-Session Review of
the 1983 Budget
1. Purpose. This Bulletin provides instructions for the
preparation and submission of revised estimates of budget
authority, outlays, and receipts data for 1982 through 1987;
revised estimates of Federal credit activity for 1982 and
1983; and estimates of the spendout during 1984-87 of
balances, of budget authority of controllable programs avail-
able at the end of 1983. This information will be used to
prepare the Mid-Session Review of the 1983 Budget and to
update the multi-year budget planning base.
2. Background. The Mid-Session Review, required under
section 601 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, will
present the current status of the President's Budget, includ-
ing estimates for Government-owned entities outside the
budget totals. The information published in the Review,
together with supporting data, will provide the Congress with
data needed to evaluate the President's budget, as revised.
They will also assist the Congress with its budget scorekeep-
ing responsibilities. OMB plans to transmit the Mid-Session
Review to the Congress no later than July 15, 1982, as
required by statute.
3. Materials Required.
a. Revised estimates of budget authority, outlays,
receipts, and Federal credit data. OMB will provide agencies
with three (3) copies of each of the following computer
listings:
-- Supplementary Source Data. This computer
listing, by budget account, contains budget
authority and outlays for 1982-1987 and a
distribution of outlays for 1982 and 1983.
 Approved For Release 2007/04/27: CIA-RDP84M00395R000600170033-2
- Federal Credit Data. This computer listing
contains data on direct loan obligations,
guaranteed loan commitments, and Federal
Financing Bank transactions, by budget account',
for 1982 and 1983.
The data in these computer listings are based on the
estimates developed for the April 9 Revision of the 1983
Budget, as adjusted by OMB for supplemental pay requests
requiring direct appropriations. Agencies will' revise
estimates in accordance with the guidelines. indicated in
section 4 of this Bulletin. Agencies furnishing automated
budget data to OMB via computer terminals will use these
terminals to make the changes contained in Attachment A.
(These agencies should notify OMB as soon as possible of new
accounts that need to be added to the Master Account and
Receipt Account Title Files.) All other agencies will mark
up and return the computer listings. (Changes will be made
by drawing a single line through any amount to be changed and
entering the revised amount above it in red.) Agencies
should follow the guidelines shown on Attachment A in
entering/processing revised data for the computer file.
b. Estimated spendout for 1984-1987 from balances of
budget authority estimated for controllable programs at the
end of 1983. OMB will provide three (3) copies of a computer
listing . at the account level containing estimates of
unexpended balances of controllable programs, as reflected in
the 1983 February Budget, to agencies that have balances at
the end of 1983 in excess of $100 million. These agencies
will revise the amounts for 1983, estimate the spendout of
these balances in future years in accordance with the
instructions in Attachment B and submit this information in
the format of Exhibit 1.
c. Analysis of Change. Agencies will submit two (2)
copies of tables in the form of Exhibit 2 [one showing budget
authority (net) and the other showing outlays (net)] to
explain major changes to the estimates. Minor changes may be
combined in an "Other changes" category. A memorandum entry
will be included for changes in governmental receipts and for
changes in direct loan obligations or guaranteed loan
commitments. For purposes of reporting, a major change is
defined as being one in excess of $50 million in any one
year. These tables will provide a bridge from the April 9
Revision estimates to the current estimates for 1982-1987.
Tables provided may be released to Congressional staff to
provide supporting explanations for changes identified in the
Mid-Session Review.

4. Basis for the revised estimates. Amounts for 1982-1987
will be revised to reflect changes due to revised economic
assumptions, technical reestimates, publicly announced
Presidential decisions, completed Congressional action, and
Congressional inaction. General guidance on the development
of the multi-year planning estimates is provided in section
26.2 of OMB Circular No. A-11.
a. Changes due to revised economic assumptions. OMB
will provide, as soon as possible, the revised economic
assumptions for the Mid-Session Review. Programs sensitive
to these assumptions should be revised accordingly.
b. Technical reestimates. Agencies should adjust the
estimates to reflect changes such as spending trends,
demographic data, or other factors that may require technical
reestimates.
c. Publicly announced Presidential decisions or
initiatives. Estimates should be revised to reflect changes
since t e April 9 Revision due to:
-- budget amendments and supplementals transmitted
to the Congress or approved and pending in OMB
(the final compilation of estimates will be
adjusted by OMB to include only those items that
have been approved by the President).
-- deferral or rescission proposals transmitted.
-- releases by the Executive Branch of amounts
previously reserved under the Impoundment Control
Act that were not anticipated in the April 9
Revisions.
-- legislative proposals transmitted, approved, or
publicly supported by the President.
-- other initiatives approved by the President.
d. Congressional action or inaction. Estimates should
be revised to reflect the effects of:
-- enacted substantive legislation (i.e., entitle-
ment and other legislation that has a direct
impact on the planning base).
-- enacted appropriations.

 Approved For Release 2007/04/27: CIA-RDP84M00395R000600170033-2
- final action or inaction on deferrals or proposed
rescissions and deferrals initiated by the
Administration or the Congress.
-- delays in acting on Administration-sponsored
legislation (where earlier Congressional action
had been assumed in the April 9 Revision esti-
mates). In ,preparing revised estimates for
legislative proposals not yet enacted by the
Congress, agencies should assume an effective
date of October 1, 1982, where an earlier date
had been assumed previously, unless there is a
high probability of earlier enactment.
Only those changes that follow directly from Congressional
action or inaction should be included. Enactment of discre-
tionary authorizations without subsequent completed appropri-
ations action should not be reflected in the revised planning
base.
e. Congressional budget resolution. It is likely that
the estimates will be prepared during Congressional consider-
ation of the First Concurrent Resolution for 1983. The
Administration may wish to support or disagree with various
alternatives of the resolution. However, agency estimates
should not reflect the resolution process or the Administra-
tion's positions unless there are explicit instructions to do
so by OMB. The resolution is guidance that the Congress uses
for its own budget formulation process, and program assump-
tions used in its formulation are not binding. Therefore it
does not, in general, provide guidance for Presidential
policy.
5. Timing. Agencies will submit two (2) copies of each of
the required materials to OMB no later than June 23, 1982.
6. Inquiries. Inquiries should be directed to the OMB
representative responsible for reviewing the agency's budget
estimates.

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING/PROCESSING
CHANGES TO THE COMPUTER
DATA BASE
Agencies will follow these guidelines for entering/processing
revised data for computer files.
1. Amounts are to be reported in thousands of dollars.
2. Changes to the proposed legislation (PL) column for
receipt data and to the 11-digit identification code for
supplementary source data may be required as follows (see OMB
Circular No. A-11, sections 21.3 and 28.2):
All enacted supplementals should be merged with the
parent account. The supplemental account should then
be deleted.
The effect of completed Congressional action on
rescission proposals (transmittal code 5), should be
reflected in the parent account. Pending rescission
.proposals should continue to be treated as separate
accounts.
-- Amendments transmitted since the April 9 Revision
will be reflected in the computer materials by
adjusting the 1983 budget authority request or
receipt estimate appropriately and adjusting the
outlays in the years affected, to reflect the effect
of the amendment.
-- To permit accurate reporting and summarizing of
legislative proposals, the transmittal status for
amounts in the budget that were proposed for later
transmittal under proposed legislation (transmittal
code 2 on the supplementary source data files and
code "L" (legislation) under the "PL" (proposed
legislation) column of the receipt data files) should
be reviewed. If the authorizing legislation has been
transmitted (but not the appropriation request), the
transmittal code 2 should be retained. If the
authorizing legislation has been enacted, the
affected account should be changed to a code 3 (pro-
posed for later transmittal under existing legisla-
tion). If the authorization has been enacted and the
appropriation request transmitted to the Congress,
the transmittal code should be changed to "Supple-
mental under existing legislation" (transmittal code
1) on the supplementary source data files. For the
receipt data files, if the authorizing legislation
has been enacted, the "L" code should be crossed out
and the amounts adjusted, if necessary, to reflect
Congressional action.

 Approved For Release 2007/04/27: CIA-RDP84M00395R000600170033-2
3. Pay supplementals and their associated amounts, if
enacted, should be merged into the "Appropriation" and "Out-
lays" entries (lines 40.00 or 43.00 and 90.00 of the A
section of the Supplementary Source Data listing).
4. Section B of the Supplementary Source Data listing should
be revised when necessary to agree with section A.
5. For appropriation or fund accounts not currently
reflected on the computer listings, and for supplementals and
pending rescission proposals transmitted since the April 9
Revision of the 1983 Budget, and still pending before the
Congress, agencies will submit two (2) copies of a Supple-
mentary Source Data (section A/D) form (see section.25.2 and
Exhibit 25A of OMB Circular No. A-11). For new receipt
accounts, the new accounts and related data should be entered
directly onto the computer listings.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING
ESTIMATED SPENDOUT OF BALANCES OF CONTROLLABLE PROGRAMS
1. Purpose. This attachment provides instructions for
preparing the report on estimated spendout of 1983 balances
of controllable programs.
2. Coverage. An analysis sheet in the format of Exhibit 1
will be prepared by agencies that will have unexpended
balances (the sum of obligated and unobligated balances) at
the end of 1983 in excess of $100 million. A one line agency
total for such balances will be entered on the analysis
sheet, with additional detail required for:
a. bureaus with account balances at the end of 1983 of
more than $1 billion;
b. appropriation accounts with 1983 year-end balances of
more than $100 million; and
c. accounts with balances of stand-by and back-up
authority; i.e., authority that would not be used except to
meet conditions or circumstances that may not occur (e.g.,
for bank deposit insurance to protect depositors in the event
of a bank failure).
When the detail required by 2a-c does not add to the agency
total, an "all other" line will be provided for the
remainder.
3. Basis for the estimates. The report will relate to
"controllable" programs only (i.e., those shown in the
"Balances and Outlays from Balances" computer listing
provided by OMB). Programs classified as uncontrollable are
specifically excluded from this report and will not be
included in the computer listing to be provided by OMB.
For the purpose of this report, the term "spendout" means
gross disbursements; it is not synonymous with the term "out-
lays," which means checks issued, interest accrued on the
public debt, or other payments net of receipts and reimburse-
ments. It is essential that the spendout report disregard
receipts and reimbursements and record gross disbursements
against unexpended balances. This distinction is
particularly important for revolving funds or accounts
where reimbursements represent a major aspect of the
financial program.

In estimating the amount of spendout of 1983 balances in each
of the fiscal years 1984-1987, the following assumptions
should be used:
a. Obligated balances carried forward at the end of 1983
generally will be spent out in 1984. Important exceptions
are accounts having a long time lag between obligation and
disbursement- e.g., construction and major procurement
programs.
b. Unobligated balances will be obligated before new
authority, and generally will be spent out within a year
after the obligation is incurred, except as noted in
paragraph 3a above. Estimates of the spendout of these
balances can usually be based on assumptions concerning
obligation levels in 1984 and each year thereafter.
4. Required information. Affected agencies will be
furnished information from computer listings based on data in
the 1983 Budget on estimates of unexpended balances (lines 24
and 74 on the program and financing schedule) and spendout of
balances (lines 3130, 3140, 3230, and 3240 on the Supple-
mentary Source Data, section B) for 1981, 1982, and 1983.
(See sections 25 and 32 of OMB Circular No. A-11.) Specific
instructions for completing the report in the format of
Exhibit 1 are set forth below:
Description (col. 1).--This column should include the
account title, as well as other applicable entries required
by paragraph 2, above. Additional entries may be used if
deemed desirable, for clarity.
February budget estimate (col. 2).--This column should
contain the applicable amount provided in the computer
listing.
Current estimate (col. 3).--The latest estimate of 1983
balances is equal to the February budget estimate modified to
reflect subsequent changes due to Congressional action (or
inaction), reestimates, and Presidential initiatives.
These amounts must be consistent with the effects of any 1982
or 1983 changes reported elsewhere for the Mid-Session
Review. Assuming no changes in estimates of expiring
authority and disregarding receipts and reimbursements,
changes in. estimates of budget authority and outlays will
have a direct effect on the estimate of the unexpended
balance (i.e., an increase in budget authority without a
corresponding increase in outlays will result in an equal
increase in unexpended balances, while an increase in outlays
without a corresponding increase in budget authority will

result in an equal decrease in unexpended balances). The
amount in this column must equal the sum of the amounts in
columns 4-9.
1983
balances as of
September 30, 1987 (col. 8).--The
amount of 1983 balances

estimated for each of the fiscal years 1984-1987.
All amounts of stand-by and back-up authority must be
footnoted as such.
1983 balances expiring in_ the 1984-1987 period (col.
9).--Enter any amounts of 1983 unobligated balances that are
expected to lapse unused in any of the fiscal years 1984-
