EARMARKSEARMARKS EO: Protecting American Taxpayers From Government

Spending on Wasteful Earmarks (January 29, 2008)

Agency decisions regarding funds for any earmark are based on bill language, and in particular, are not based on language in any report of a committee of Congress, joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference of the Congress, statement of managers concerning a bill in the Congress, or any other non-statutory statement or indication of views of the Congress.

Limited authority to transfer funds among studies or projects within a budget category

Congress has been unhappy with the Corps’ past reprogramming actions. FY10 appropriations act guidance:GI – 25% per study (up to $150K maximum)CG – 15% per project (up to $3M maximum)O&M - 15% per project (up to $5M maximum) but does not apply to “emergencies”

Amount of funds Congress has withheld in the past based on the Congressional budget resolution ceiling and past performance of the Corps. (Note: S&S is not applied to Act language studies or projects)
