**BULLETIN NO. 01-01**

TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS

SUBJECT:   Apportionment of the Continuing Resolution(s) for Fiscal Year 2001

**1. Purpose and Background.** H. J. Res 109 provides continuing appropriations for the period
October 1 through October 6, 2000.  I am apportioning amounts provided by this continuing
resolution (CR), and any extensions of this CR, as specified in section 2.  This Bulletin
supplements instructions for apportionment of CRs in OMB Circular No. A-34.

**2. Automatic Apportionments.**  Calculate the amount automatically apportioned through the
period ending October 6, 2000 (and any extensions of that period), by multiplying the rate
(amount) provided by the CR by the lower of:

the percentage of the year covered by the CR; or,the historical seasonal rate of obligations for the period of the year covered by the
CR.See the Attachment to this Bulletin for more detailed instructions on calculating the amount
automatically apportioned.

Under an automatic apportionment, all of the footnotes and conditions placed on the prior year
apportionment remain in effect.

The CR expires on midnight on Friday, October 6, 2000.

**3. Written Apportionments.**  If a program requires an amount different from the total amount
automatically apportioned, you must request a written apportionment.

**Jacob J. Lew***Director*
