CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress INSIGHTINSIGHTi i Proposed Offsets Exceed Spending for Agriculture in the Administrations Disaster Assistance Request Jim Monke Specialist in Agricultural Policy Megan Stubbs Specialist in Agricultural Conservation and Natural Resources Policy December 1, 2017 On November 17, 2017, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the Administrations request for a third round of supplemental funding in response to natural disasters in 2017. The total request includes $44 billion of additional appropriations for disasters during 2017, offset by $59 billion of reductions to budget authority for previous appropriations ($15 billion) and a two-year extension of sequestration on mandatory spending ($44 billion) from FY2025 to FY2027. Accounts in the jurisdiction of Agriculture appropriations would receive an additional of $992 million for disaster recovery but be reduced over time by $5.6 billion. Proposed reductions include $3 billion through rescissions of prior appropriations and an estimated $2.6 billion share from extending sequestration on mandatory spending in the jurisdiction of Agriculture appropriations (Table 1).
