Digitized from Box 19 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library [1-6-76] Deferral No: D76-60A DEFERRAL OF BUDGET AUTHORITY Report Pursuant to Section 1013 of P.L. 93-344 Agency Department of Health, Education & Welfare New budget authority $28,227,000* Bureau (P.L. 94-159 ) National Institutes of Health Other budgetary resources Appropriation title & symbol Total budgetary resources 28,227,000* National Institute of Dental Amount to be deferred: Research Part of year $ 518,000 7560873 Entire year OMB identification code: Legal authority (in addition to sec. 1013) : 09-25-0873-0-1-552 Antideficiency Act Grant program X Yes No Other Type of account or fund: Type of budget authority: X Annual X Appropriation Multiple-year Contract authority (expiration date) No-year Other *Justification: The funding level authorized for this appropriation under the continuing resolution exceeds the FY 1976 President's Budget.

The funding level authorized for Program management under the continuing resolution exceeds both the President's 1976 Budget request and the Congressional allowance in the 1976 Labor-HEW Appropriations Bill. This deferral of funds is designed to keep third quarter spending under the continuing resolution at the level of the 1976 Budget request for Medical care standards and at the Congressional allowance for Program management. *Estimated Effects: The deferral of $498,000 for Medical care standards and $1,125,000 for Program management through the third quarter of 1976 will result in maintaining the program level and activities planned in the President's 1976 Budget request for Medical care standards and in the Congressional allowance for Program management. In the event the 1976 appropria- tion is at the level permitted bv the Congressional allowance, the higher level of funding for Medical care standards would be used to support certain lower priority contracts and training activities. Program management will operate at the Congressional allowance level. * Revised from previous submission. D76-57A SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Report Pursuant to Sec. 1014 (c) of P.L. 93-344 This report updates Deferral No. D76-57 transmitted to Congress on October 20, 1975, and printed in House Document No. 94-282 and Senate Document No. 94-111. This report covers activities in Medical care standards (Trust Funds) and Program management of the Health Services Administration. The amount deferred is increased by $541,000 to keep third quarter spending under the continuing resolution within the President's Budget request for Medical care standards (Trust Funds) and within the Congressional allowance for Program management.

These appropriations are available until expended. This deferral action has been taken at the request of the Canal Zone Government until project inspection charges and certain other services to be performed by the Panama Canal Company are rendered. The reserve has been established under the provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) to insure fund availability for project inspection and certain other services provided by the Panama Canal Company which are essential for the completion of projects. Estimated Effects: The amount deferred could not be used if made available in the current year because of the scheduling of the planned construction program. Thus, the deferral action has no programmatic or budgetary effect. * These funds are proposed for deferral through June 30, 1976, or, if appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976. D76-86 These deferrals have no programmatic or budgetary effect because the funds could not be obligated at this time, even if they were made available.

Due to the long period of time required to construct facilities, the Congress makes appropriations for this purpose available until expended. The above funds are deferred due to administrative delays, such as project designs not being completed and incom- plete coordination of projects with either other Federal agencies or local govern- ment agencies. R76-28 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REHABILITATION LOAN FUND Uncommitted balances of appropriations and receipts in the Rehabilitation Loan Fund established pursuant to Section 312 of the Housing Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1452b), other than amounts required for loan servicing costs and other expenses of operation, are hereby rescinded. R76-28 2 The block grant approach is a more desirable method of providing Federal community development assistance, affording communities greater flexibility and discretion in the use of such assistance. This contention is based on the widespread acceptance which this new approach has received from State and local officials, particularly in the area of housing rehabilitation. Consequently, there is no need to continue separate categorical funding through another fiscal year. Rescission of the estimated $60,670,000 is therefore proposed. Estimated Effects Given the availability of the Community Development Block Grant program, rescission of the amount shown above will have no adverse effect on the ability of localities to provide housing rehabilitation assistance. Significant Federal assistance will still be available. Outlay Effect (estimated in tenths of millions of dollars) Comparison with President's 1976 Budget: 1. Budget outlay estimate for 1976 $ 6.7 2.

It has provided financial assistance for the rehabilitation of residential and business properties. Pursuant to the Emergency Housing Act of 1975, the authority to make loans under this program will expire on August 22, 1976. It is proposed that all unused balances, including appropriated funds and other income available to the loan fund, be rescinded. No additional loan commitments would be made after December 31, 1975. A small amount -- $5,670,000 -- would be retained for loan servicing costs and other expenses. The Rehabilitation Loan Fund has been replaced by the Community Development Block Grant program under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. One of the many activities eligible for assistance under this new program is housing rehabilitation. Fund allocation experience for 1975 indicates that block grant recipients are programming a significant portion (approximately 9 percent) of their grant funds for that purpose. A similar level of activity is anticipated during the current fiscal year. * This estimate is subject to change and may be adjusted once actual accounting data become available.

Deferral of funds in the amount of $4,540,000 is proposed to keep cumulative third quarter funding at the President's 1976 budget request level, In addition to maintaining the intramural research program, the President's Budget request would provide sufficient funds for all program commitments to about 778 ongoing general mental health projects. Within this effort, an adequate number of scientifically meritorious projects would be supported that address the wide range of mental health and social problems. Any research proposal that shows exceptional promise to obtain desired break-throughs in understanding the underlying causes of mental illness can be undertaken through the intramural program or by reprogramming of lower priority efforts. Program Direction--The funding level authorized for this program in the continuing resolution exceeds the Congressional allowance for the 1976 Labor-HEW Appropriations Bill. Deferral of funds in the amount of $370,000 is proposed to keep cumulative third quarter funding at the Congressional allowance level. *Revised from previous submission D76-40C Estimated Effects: General Mental Health Research--The deferral of $4,540,000 through the third quarter of the year will delay the funding of approximately 47 new research grants. This delay in funding until after the third quarter will have no significant adverse programmatic effect. Given the nature of biomedical and behavioral research, it is difficult to precisely assess any deleterious effects associated with the deferral upon either health status or the development of significant new knowledge. Program Direction--The reduction in operating level that is associated with the Congressional allowance for the first three quarters of the year for ADAMHA Program Direction would result in delay in filling job vacancies in the areas of monitoring projects, technical assistance, and project management.

This revision reflects an increase of $1,000,000 in the amount of 1976 continuing resolution funds deferred for the Child welfare services activity of the Public Assistance account in the Social and Rehabilitation Service. This action results in a total deferral of $3,000,000. In this formula grant program, awards are made to the States on a quarterly basis. The $2,000,000 deferral from the first and second quarter awards is being augmented by an additional $1,000,000 from the amount available for third quarter awards. The increased third quarter deferral reflects the increased availability in the Continuing Resolution ($50 million) over the amount requested in the 1976 President's Budget ($46 million). No outlay savings will result from this deferral.

This proposal represents the cumulative amount of funds to be deferred through the third quarter. *Estimated Effects: Federal support under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act is only about 7% of the total estimated Federal and State expenditures of $640 illion for Child Welfare Services. Experience with this program has indicated that there is no appreciable change in the State program level as a result of small Federal funding changes for this activity. Therefore, this deferral of funds through the third quarter will have negligible effect on the provision of services to the 494,000 children served in FY 1976.

Use of these funds was made contingent upon enactment of authorization for the appropriation, which was accomplished by the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1976 (P.L. 94-141, approved November 29, 1975). In May, 1975, the Egyptian Government canceled a preliminary property exchange agree- ment upon which the appropriation request was based. That action has caused the Department to revise its earlier plans so that an Ambassador's residence will be constructed on a site owned by the United States since 1966. Architectural plans and specifications are being prepared, but these will not be completed in time to allow bids to be solicited and a construction contract awarded before the fiscal year 1977. Accordingly, $2,275,000 planned for the construction of the Embassy residence has been placed in reserve for contingencies to assure prudent financial management. This amount is planned for deferral through June 30, 1976, and, if appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976. These funds could not be used effectively during the current year and the subsequent transition quarter even if made available for obligation. D76-90 Estimated Effects None.

Fro- jects are undertaken to insure capability of these airports to adequately, safel , and efficiently meet air travel needs of the public and to promote development of a iation. These funds were appropriated in the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriation Acts of 1974, 1975, and 1976. Because of delays in passage of the 1976 appropriation bill and the time required for selection of engineering consultant firms and negotiation of construction contracts, it is not possible to obligate or expend all contract funds during FY 1976. This deferral action is consistent with the Congressional intent to provide multi-year funding for total costs of these projects and is taken under provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) that authorize the establishment of reserves for contingencies. Estimated Effects The amount deferred could not be economically used, if made available, in fiscal year 1976 because of the planned multi-year procurement, construction and/or installation cycle. The following projects will be deferred in FY 1976 until the transition quarter or FY 1977: Master Plan for Washington National Airport - $208,656 -- This project will be initiated after the policy statement concerning the role of Washington National Airport is completed. Following the issuance of this policy statement, several months will be required to select an engineering consultant firm and negotiate a contract. The earliest this contract can be expected to be awarded is in the transition quarter. D76-92 2 Resurface Runway 18/36 - $870,000 -- Design of the contract will be accomplished in FY 1976. The construction contract is now expected to be awarded in the transition quarter. Reconstruct and Overlay Main Ramp - $600,000 -- Design will be accomplished in FY 1976. This contract is now expected to be awarded in the transition quarter. Terminal Expansion - $7,000,000 -- The terminal expansion design contract is being amended to cover working drawings for the $7,000,000 Dulles terminal expansion. Upon completion of the working drawings, the construction contract will be advertised. The construction contract is now expected to be awarded in the first quarter of FY 1977.

The total cost of settlement of contractor claims and closeouts, airline refunds, completion of specifically designated technology programs, and necessary governmental administrative costs incidental to these activities is included. These funds were appro priated by the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriation Acts, 197 and 1972. Because of the difficulty in ending such a complex and massive undertaking, termination has taken a number of years. Settlement is being accomplished as quickly as possible consistent with the legitimate claims of the contractors and the protection of government interests. Therefore, it is necessary to apportion funds SO that they will be available at the time claims are settled. Most of these settlements are expecte after fiscal year 1976. This deferral action is taken under the provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) that authorize the establishment of reserves for contingencies. The funds are proposed for deferral through June 30, 1976, or, if appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976. If they can be used sooner, they will be made available.

It also requires the ICC to provide reimbursements for any losses incurred by the carriers providing the directed service. Funds made available for these reimbursements are in excess of the amounts expected to be required during this fiscal year and the transition quarter. By law, the budget authority may be used only when rail service has been discontinued and the ICC subsequently directs other carriers to resume the service. Currently, no further discontinuations of service are expected. Should such discontinuations occur, however, a further 11 months would elapse before the deferred funds would be spent due to the timing specifications set out in the law. In effect, the budget authority is provided on a contingency basis and will be used when the anticipated events occur. Estimated Effects This deferral has no programmatic, fiscal, budgetary or economic impact. The budget authority being deferred will be used for the subsidies required by law when the events specified by law have occurred.
