§222e Programs, projects, and activities that were internally changed in the submission of the President’s budget: annual report

Summary

Each year the Secretary of Defense must send the defense committees in Congress a report no later than 30 days after the President’s budget is sent under section 1105(a) of title 31. The report must give organized tables showing any work in research, development, test and evaluation; procurement (major purchases); or military construction whose total funding authority in the new budget changed from what was projected the year before for that same year. For each changed item the tables must show whether it was added, cut, or removed and in which year; the appropriation sub-account; the program element or line-item identifier; the program or project name; the prior-year enacted funding; the prior-year projection for the current year; the current year request; if relevant, the amount saved or cut over the future years defense plan; and whether the change is a fact-of-life change, a prioritization change, a programmatic change, or is due to congressional action. The report must be sent in machine-readable electronic form.
