report

The Congressional Budget Office reports each January to the Congress on the following:

• All programs and activities funded for the current fiscal year for which authorizations of appropriations have expired, and
• All programs and activities for which authorizations of appropriations will expire during the current fiscal year.

CBO publishes three versions of the report, listing the relevant authorizations by committee jurisdictions for House and Senate authorizing committees and appropriations subcommittees.

report

Federal laws and regulations sometimes require nonfederal entities to expend their resources to carry out national policies. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), enacted as Public Law 104-4, defines many of those requirements as federal mandates. The law aims to ensure that Members of Congress receive information about the potential effects of mandates as they consider proposed legislation and that federal agencies take information about mandates into account as they weigh proposed regulations.
