PUBLICATION OF BUDGETARY MATERIAL
status report on current spending levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fy 2021
House of Representatives,
Committee on the Budget,
Washington, DC, April 21, 2021.
Dear Madam Speaker: To facilitate application of sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I am transmitting an updated status report on the current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2021. This status report is current through April 2, 2021. The term
``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or awaiting the President's signature.
Table 1 compares the current levels of total budget authority, outlays, and revenues to the overall limits filed in the Congressional Record on February 25, 2021 for fiscal year 2021 and for the 10-year period of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. These comparisons are needed to implement section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which establishes a rule enforceable with a point of order against measures that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. The table does not show budget authority and outlays for years after fiscal year 2021 because appropriations for those years have not yet been completed.
Table 2 compares the current status of appropriations for fiscal year 2021 with the limits filed in the Congressional Record on February 25 for fiscal year 2021 for the Committee on Appropriations. The comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits the consideration of measures that would breach the section 302(a) allocation of new budget authority.
Table 3 compares the current levels of budget authority and outlays for legislative action completed by each authorizing committee with the limits filed in the Congressional Record on February 25 for fiscal year 2021, and for the 10-year period of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. These comparisons are needed to enforce the point of order under section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. It is also needed to implement section 311(c), which provides an exception for committees that comply with their allocations from the point of order under section 311(a).
Table 4 displays the current level of advance appropriations in fiscal year 2021 appropriations bills. This table is needed to enforce a rule against appropriations bills containing advance appropriations that: (i) are not identified in the statement of the Chairman published in the Congressional Record on May 1, 2020 or (ii) would cause the aggregate amount of such appropriations to exceed the level specified in section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, as continued in effect by the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2021.
In addition, a letter from the Congressional Budget Office is attached that summarizes and compares the budget impact of legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget resolution against the budget resolution aggregate in force.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Wheelock or Raquel Spencer.
Sincerely,
John Yarmuth,
Chairman.

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, April 14, 2021.Hon. John Yarmuth,Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of Congressional action on the fiscal year 2021 budget and is current through April 2, 2021. This report is submitted under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues are consistent with the allocations, aggregates, and other budgetary levels printed in the Congressional Record on February 25, 2021, pursuant to the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (S. Con. Res. 5).
Since our last letter dated October 15, 2020, the Congress has incorporated legislation that cleared in the 116th Congress as previously enacted and therefore this current level letter only itemizes the legislation that cleared beginning with the 117th Congress. The Congress has cleared and the President has signed the following legislation that has significant effects on budget authority, outlays, and revenues in fiscal year 2021 for the 117th Congress:
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2); and
PPP Extension Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-6).
Sincerely,
Phillip L. Swagel,
Director.
Enclosure.

n.a. = not applicable; P.L. = public law.
a Sections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) require that certain funding provided for 2017
through 2026 to the Department of Health and Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration
and the National Institutes of Health--be excluded from estimates for the purposes of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act) and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
$474 million in budget authority and $733 million in estimated outlays.
b For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the aggregate spending and
revenue levels for 2021 published in the Congressional Record on February 25, 2021, by the Chair of the House
Committee on the Budget pursuant to the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (S. Con. Res.
5), do not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, amounts in this
current level report do not include those items.
