FY21 Appropriations near deadline

November 16, 2020asbpa_edAppropriations, Beneficial Use, NOAA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE, USGS

The federal FY21 budget is operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) through December 11. Before then, Congress must agree to a budget or the government will shut down (which certainly feels on-brand for 2020, but at this point both House and Senate would like to avoid). Adding to the challenge is the lingering question whether…

The FY20 budget process is moving forward in the House of Representatives, with a few “mini-bus” bills that each include multiple appropriations expected to pass before July.

A look toward FY20 Appropriations

With an FY2019 budget passed and another government shutdown avoided, we can begin to look toward the FY2020 appropriations.

However, given the shutdown the proposal is unlikely to be out until mid-March….
