In this Memorandum we report on the final funding levels for the FY 2011 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill. It is included in the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act (HR 1473, PL 112-10) which was signed into law April 15, 2011. PL 112-10 funds all federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2011. There are no accompanying House, Senate, or Conference reports for FY 2011 appropriations. Federal agencies were instructed to file operating plans with Congress within 30 days of enactment regarding the allocation of FY 2011 funds.
Section 1119 of PL 112-10 imposes a 0.2 percent across-the-board funding reduction for domestic discretionary programs; however, the amounts that appear in the text of PL 112-10 do not reflect the reduction found in Section 1119 because Congress left it to the federal agencies to do the 0.2 percent reduction calculations. The FY 2011 enacted figures in this Memorandum include the 0.2 percent reduction as reported by the federal agencies in their operating plans.
PL 112-10 contains no funding earmarks and provides that any reference to earmarks in FY 2010 appropriations bills or FY 2010 accompanying reports have no effect with regard to FY 2011 funding.
We have listed the amounts requested by the Obama Administration for FY 2011 funding when the proposed budget was submitted in February 2010. During the year-long budget negotiations the Administration agreed, in many instances, to reductions to the amounts originally requested.
