NOTES: D = discretionary program; M = mandatory program

The Annualized 2017 CR column is included for comparative purposes only and does not represent an actual appropriation total for FY 2017. Values are calculated by applying the 0.1901 percent across-the-board reduction

to the FY 2016 appropriation for discretionary programs. 

For most mandatory programs, with the exception of Pell Grants, Credit Liquidating, and Credit Reestimates, the level shown in the 2016 Appropriation column reflects the 6.8 percent reduction to mandatory funds that went into 

effect on October 1, 2015, and the levels shown in the 2017 Annualized CR and 2017 Appropriation columns reflect the 6.9 percent reduction that went into effect on October 1, 2016, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25). 

Detail may not add to totals due to rounding. 

1 The Advance for succeeding fiscal year shown in the 2016 Appropriation column and the Prior year's advance shown in the 2017 Appropriation column reflect the final 2016 appropriation level. The Prior year's advance 

shown in the 2017 Annualized CR column reflects the 0.1901 percent across-the-board reduction applied to the 2016 Advance for succeeding fiscal year that was part of the 2017 Annualized CR that expired April 28, 2017.

2 Prior to fiscal year 2017, the program was Striving Readers, as authorized by P.L. 107-110, ESEA I-E, section 1502.

3 Adjusted for comparability. Includes funds in the 2016 Appropriation and 2017 Annualized CR columns that were provided under the Fund for the Improvement of Education in the Innovation and Improvement account.
