Description

The absence of legislation to reduce the federal budget deficit by at least $1.2 trillion triggered the sequestration process in section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), as amended. Pursuant to the BBEDCA, the President ordered sequestration of budgetary resources across non-exempt federal government accounts on March 1, 2013. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimated that the Dept. of Defense (DOD) would be required to take a 7.8% reduction in nonexempt defense discretionary funding. However, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 provided DOD with a full appropriation for the remainder of FY 2013. This report describes the extent to which (1) DOD developed plans and methodologies to implement spending reductions in light of the Budget Control Act of 2011 and relevant guidance, including identifying potential impacts on U.S. military capabilities and DOD personnel; and (2) DOD has made use of any reprogramming and transfer authorities to manage spending reductions during FY 2013. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
