Permanent Reduction

Contract Authority 

(Includes FY 2004 accounts and crosswalks and new FY 2005 accounts and crosswalks)

June, 2004

The June 2003 revisions to OMB Circular A-11 restated the budgetary presentation 

requirements for reductions. There are now two basic categories to distinguish 

reductions. These categories are temporary and permanent. Reductions of contract 

authority are considered permanent. 

The following scenario displays a permanent reduction to new budget authority derived 

from contract authority. In FY 2004, there are three USSGL accounts available for 

posting permanent reductions. The FY 2004 account numbers and titles are shown in the 

scenario in normal text. Each account crosswalks to OMB SF-133 line “6. Permanently 

not available: B. Enacted reductions.” 

For FY 2005, USSGL account titles were changed to more closely correspond to the 

OMB Circular No. A-11 dated June 2003. Account titles and definitions approved for 

FY 2005 are shown in bold italics. As in FY 2004, each account crosswalks to OMB SF133 line “6. Permanently not available: B. Enacted reductions.” 

These USSGL accounts to be used for reductions of contract authority are:

4392 Rescission – New Budget Authority Permanent Reduction – New 

Budget Authority

4393 Rescission – Prior-Year Permanent Reduction – Prior-Year 

Balances

4396 Authority Permanently Unavailable for Obligation Pursuant to 

Public Law Delete in FY2005

Like all permanent reductions, the gross amount of budget authority provided is reflected 

on line 1 of the SF-133, while the reduction is reflected separately on line 6B of the SF133. Permanent reductions are lost as resources of the fund forever. 

The following scenario reflects a discretionary program in which new budget authority 

provided in the form of definite contract authority is reduced. USSGL account 4392, 

attribute Authority Type “C” (contract authority) is highlighted in the following scenario.

1. To record the enactment of public law for new contract authority.

4. To record a 10% reduction to the contract authority recorded in transaction 1. Use 

Authority Type attribute C to specify the reduction to contract authority. This 

attribute ensures proper crosswalks to the OMB Schedule P and USSGL 2108. 

(Reductions are often expressed as a percentage of the amount provided in an 

Appropriations Act).
