MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION C 

SUBJECT: Immediate HAF Actions for FY13 Sequestration Implementation 

MAR 01 2013 

Reference: FY13 HAF Near-Term Actions to Handle Budgetary Uncertainty, 18 Jan 2013 

We do not expect that sequestration will be averted and as a result, AF top-line reductions 

will be immediately effective for FY13. While we have accomplished some detailed planning 

and outlined actions to mitigate the impact of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) reductions, 

we must now execute those actions, and more, to live within a lower funding level and preserve 

as much readiness as possible. This memo provides HAF specific guidance in support of and in 

addition to the attached Air Force-wide guidance. 

AF guidance directs planning for the worst case O&M scenario, which assumes no relief 

to the $1.8 billion OCO shortfall. As a result, we will issue bogeys as soon as possible; they will 

include the specific contract and travel reductions listed below. Actions directed in our 18 Jan 

13 memo are directed to continue unless superseded below. 

a. Civilian hiring freeze will continue. As outlined in the referenced memo, exceptions 

for mission critical fills (includes IP A, Schedule C, and HQE hiring) will be 

considered but must meet an extremely high threshold. Temporary employees should 

be offHAF books no later than 31 March 2013. In FY13, HAF civilian pay was 

reduced $150 million, this dramatically reduces our ability to approve any 

exemptions. Should an exemption be approved, any job offer must include furlough 

notification as part of the offer process. Civilian Senior Executive hiring actions will 

continue to be approved by the Secretary of the Air Force. 

b. Furlough guidance is provided in the SAF!US memo dated 20 Feb 2013. HAF will 

follow the Air Force guidance. The only HAF exemptions are for deployed civilians 

and those in initial skills training. If there is a new mission requirement that requires 

an exception, please immediately contact SAF/AA. 

c. During the furlough period, beginning in mid-April, overtime and compensatory 

time (premium pay) must be eliminated. As supervisors, you can mitigate furlough 

impacts on the mission by controlling leave and absences for all Airmen, military and 

civilian. A WS, telework and flex-time schedules should be adjusted or cancelled 

during the furlough in accordance with local bargaining provisions if required. 

Premium pay is not authorized unless it is part of an employee's normal pay (such as 

an employee who regularly earns a night shift differential). Beyond that, provide 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 090
safety oflife or property, but only to the minimum extent needed to protect life or 

property. 

d. Supervisors will not approve and civilian full-time employees will not work any 

hours in excess of their normal duty day, not to exceed 32 hours a week for 

employees who work a traditional schedule or a Compressed Work Schedule (i.e., 5-

4-9) or 64 hours per pay period for employees who work a Flexible Work Schedule 

(i.e., who earn credit hours or work a Maxiflex). Part-time employees will have their 

furloughs pro-rated iaw 5 CFR 752. Overtime and compensatory time cannot be used 

to offset the impact of furlough. You may not request the furloughed employee work 

overtime nor may you ask another civilian who is not furloughed to compensate for 

the furloughed employee's lost productivity by working overtime. 

e. Supervisors must ensure furloughed civilians DO NOT work from home or onsite, officially or unofficially, on their furlough days. This means that employees 

are legally prohibited from checking their Blackberries or using their Air Force issued 

laptops while on furlough. Nor may they serve as an unpaid volunteer. Such actions 

will result in Anti-Deficiency Act violations for which employees and supervisors 

will be held responsible and may result in disciplinary actions for both. 

f. It is ILLEGAL to transfer inherently governmental work to the contractor workforce. 

Attachment 3 provides additional guidance. 

g. All temporary duty (TDY) travel spending and limitation will be reduced by 20% 

from your current target. HAF 2 letters will continue to determine mission criticality. 

TDY travel must be able to not only pass the "Washington Post" test, but also stand 

up to the scrutiny of your own civilian Airmen who are facing a 20% pay cut this 

fiscal year. Some specific guidance is below: 

a. No spouse travel will be approved at AF expense, except for MAJCOM 

required pre-command training. 

b. Travel explicitly approved in the AF message should continue. Travel 

specifically denied in the AF message will not be supported. 

c. Travel for change of command/promotion/retirement/award ceremonies or 

banquets is NOT approved. For wing command promotions where there is 

not a local General Officer to preside, travel will be approved as an exception. 

d. Military airlift for all HAF personnel will be very limited. 

e. Speaker participation in wing/ group commander courses should not require 

travel, but executed by VTC, DCO or other technology. The AF/CV will 

identity a single 3 star DCS to attend for the course as a HAF mentor. 

f. Travel to attend AETC hosted teclmical or follow-on training courses is 

approved, but attendees must confirm that the course will continue as 

scheduled. Travel approving officials must consider attendance mission 

critical for the attendee. See note below on leadership development courses. 

h. All AF-hosted or attendance at Non-Federal Entity (NFE) hosted conferences, 

seminars and symposia are cancelled or defened to FY14. Local attendance at NFE 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 091
hosted events must be at no cost to the AP. Previously delegated conference approval 

. authority is rescinded. Request exemptions through the existing conference process 

for SAP /US approval. Cancellation includes individual speaker travel if at AP 

expense. Note, all "gifted" travel must be approved by SAF/GC and reported 

annually. 

a. Exceptions exist for attendance at medical readiness training and annual 

chaplain ecclestical endorsement events. Attendance under this exception 

must still be approved through the conference approval process. 

b. Follow MAJCOM guidance for travel to pre-command training events. 

1. All HAP funded (regardless of appropriation) leadership development courses are 

under review for cancellation in FY13 or deferral to FY14. Courses scheduled 

through April have been cancelled. API Al D is reviewing each course and will 

inform selectees of cancellation or deferral. This specifically includes all 

AF/DPG/DPS/DPE leadership development courses for GO/SES/0-6/GS-15/CMSgt. 

TAP for military members is required by law and will continue. All functional 

training for development purposes, and not legally required for job performance, 

should be deferred. 

J. Contract spending must be reduced, particularly advisory and assistance services, 

SETA, and other support or task orders. Each HAF 2 letter contract funding 

reduction is at attachment 6; this 20% reduction is based on your FY13 spend plan for 

object classes 25.1 and 25.2; yourNDAA section 808legallimitation will be reduced 

by 10% so you have some flexibility in determining where to cut. You can apply 

your reduction to a single contract, descope all your efforts, or not exercise a contract 

option to meet your stated reduction. Take prudent steps to minimize disruption and 

added costs (e.g., avoid penalties associated with potential contract cancellations 

where feasible). APDW Contracting is aware of our guidance and is ready to work 

with your COTRs on descoping or cancelling specific efforts. Where you have 

contracted through other AP units or directly with other Federal Agencies, your 

organization is responsible for achieving the cost reduction goals. All contracts 

should include a Limitation on Goverrunent Obligation (LOGO) clause which can be 

exercised. Your FY13 contract changes should be actions designed to cut costs for 

longer-term cost savings and to plan for reduced O&M funding in FY14 and beyond. 

k. Stop supply purchases and minor purchases such as furniture, information 

technology refresh, and unit equipment. Defer actions until FY14 uuless required 

for health and safety. 

(l) Check the HAP Supply Depot to obtain supply items and provide items 

available for use by other AF organizations at 

https://haf.afucr.af.mil/com/HAP/supplydepot/default.aspx. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 092
1. As addressed in our previous guidance memo, review studies to curtail or cancel 

ongoing and scheduled studies that are not congressionally directed or mission 

critical. 

m. OCO funding has been cut 32%; follow the guidance previously provided. 

n. Air Force has requested weekly updates on the sequestration actions taken or 

anticipated. SAF/AAR will consolidate all HAP inputs; please provide any inputs to 

the SAF/AAR workflow box, SAFAAR.Workflow@pentagon.af.mil; additional 

details on timelines will be provided. 

We appreciate your patience as we work through this time of budgetary uncertainty and 

will keep you informed as additional guidance is issued and/or needed. If you have questions, 

please contact Ms. Anne Graham, SAF/AAR, 703-692-9516 or Ms. Lydia Newsom, SAF/AAR,

MEMORANDUM FOR ALMAJCOM/CC 

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2013 (FYI3) Sequestration Guidance 

FEB 2 8 2013 

On I March 2013, we expect to absorb over $12B in sequestration reductions while we 

simultaneously work to mitigate an OCO shortfall of approximately $1.8B and operate under a 

highly restrictive Continuing Resolution. A reduction of this magnitude would be devastating to 

our mission and our people, but, since it appears sequestration cannot be avoided, we must take 

further actions to significantly slow spending to operate within mandated budget limitations. 

Implementation of these actions should be structured as best possible to minimize shmt- and 

long-tenn harm to our people and our unit readiness, recognizing that major impacts cannot be 

entirely avoided. This guidance applies to the Total Force. 

As a reminder and to assist you in making mission critical determinations, OSD directed 

protection of the following programs throughout the year: 

Fully protect funding for wmtime operations 

Fully protect Wounded Warrior programs 

To the extent feasible, protect programs most closely associated with the new defense 

strategy 

To the extent feasible, protect family programs 

Continuation o[Near Term Actions Directed in 14 January 2013 Memorandum 

Conduct a thorough review of all OCO requirements and identify potential reductions 

which will not impair wmtime operations such as delaying asset reconstitution and 

incrementally funding OCO contracts. 

Civilian hiring restrictions remain in place to include ·a hiring freeze, immediate 

elimination of temporary employees and not renewing term hire employees with 

exceptions for mission-critical activities and when appropriate in terms of personnel 

timing. See attachment 1 for guidance on Total Force Management. 

Cancel all iemporary duties that are not mission-critical, such as attendance at or hosting 

of conferences and symposia (such as functional conferences), staff assistance visits and 

training seminars. 

Cancel ongoing and scheduled studies that are not congressionally directed or mission 

critical. Further Action: SAF/LL and SAF/FMBL will engage with Congress, as 

appropriate, to seek relief or delay approval for congressionally directed studies. 

Limit supply purchases to essential FY13 consumption (e.g., flying hour bench stock) 

and stop minor purchases that are not mission-critical such as furniture, and unit 

equipment. 

Given the current budget uncertainty, the Air Force Chief Information Officer, SAF/CIO 

A6, futther directed immediate actions to minimize IT expenditures to only missioncritical capabilities. Specific actions are outlined in the CIO Policy Directive 

Memormtdum, Subject: Near-Term Guidance on FY13 Infonnation Technology (IT) 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 094
Spending dated 15 Feb 13 (attaclunent 2). The actions are intended to ensure planned 

mission-critical purchases are aligned and directly support the transition to enterprisewide IT services to realize long-term cost savings and mission effectiveness. 

Defer all non-emergency Facility Sustaimnent, Restoration and Modernization (FSRM) 

projects to include Dormitory and Energy Focus Funds. Installations should continue to 

work with local contracting offices to gather low bids and provide funds requests to the 

Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). Projects may be funded later in the year if 

funding becomes available. Emergency requirements should be coordinated with 

AFCEC using the established process for Emergent Requirements (POC: AF/ A4/7C). 

Where practical, de-obligate/incrementally fund contracts to encompass only FYI3 

activity (examples include but are not limited to base maintenance contracts, advisory 

and assistance services contracts, custodial contracts, etc.). 

Review contracts for possible descoping or other long term cost savings. 

Exceptions for Continued Near Term Actions 

Limited exceptions for the continuation of these near-term actions may be made for mission 

critic~! activities and civilian positions as determined by appropriate senior officials. Requests 

for exceptions shall be approved by MA.TCOM Vice Commanders, the Deputy Director of the 

Air National Guard, DRU Commanders, and by SAF/AA for the HAF pmtfolio. Previous 

delegation of waiver attthority will no longer be permitted effective 1 March 2013. 

Additional Actions Required due to Implementation o[Sequestration 

2 

In the event sequestration occurs, additional, wide-ranging and dramatic actions are required 

to ensure the Air Force operates within the new FY13 top-line. We direct the immediate 

implementation of the following actions in the event sequestration is triggered on I March 2013. 

Civifirm Personnel (POC: AF/Al) 

Civilian Furloughs: 

Follow the guidance found at attachment 3. Please read the attached guidance closely. 

The authority to approve the very few exceptions to furlough cannot be delegated below 

the MAJCOM Vice Conunanders, the Deputy Director of the Air National Guard (ANG), 

DRU Conunanders, or SAF/AA for the HAF portfolio. ANG will follow guidance 

provided by NG-Jl-TN. 

It is also important to emphasize you may not use premium pay (compensatory or 

ove1time) to offset furloughs, either to make up for lost work or to make up for lost pay. 

Premium pay is not authorized unless it is pmt of an employee's normal pay (such as an 

employee who regulmly earns a night shift differential). Beyond that, premium pay is 

only authorized when it is necessary to provide safety of life or prope1ty, but only to the 

minimum extent needed to protect life or property (i.e., firemen or emergency responders 

working over their regular shift due to an emergent situation that arises on their shift). 

To reiterate, except in the above circumstances, supervisors will not approve and civilian 

full-time employees will not work any hours in excess of their normal duty day. Parttime employees will have their furloughs pro-rated IA W 5 CFR 752. You may not 

request the f~urloughed employee work overtime nor may you ask another civilian who is 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 095
3 

not furloughed to compensate for the furloughed employee's lost productivity by working 

ovettitne. 

Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) guidance: 

All centrally-funded "must move" civilian PCSs will continue, to include overseas 

returnees, CDE placements, SES moves, priority placements, and centrally-ftmcled career 

broaclener, Palace Acquire, & Copper Cap placements. 

Centrally-ftmded civilian career moves that are discretionary will be significantly reduced 

as a result of sequestration. A strategic pause is anticipated for these discretionary 

moves; guidance will be provided by AFPC. 

Locally funded civilian PCSs can be approved at the discretion of the local commander. 

Education and Training (POC: AF/Al) 

Education and training guidance: 

All I-IQ AF leadership development courses scheduled through April 2013 will be 

cancelled with exceptions for courses with non-recoverable tuition. HQ AF/Al will 

evaluate subsequent classes on a monthly basis and assess the impact on our Total Force 

otllcer, enlisted, and civilian Ailmen. 

Third qumter attendance at shmt-term TDY professional military education (PME), e.g., 

SOS, CALT, NCO Academies will be reduced. Specific guidance will be provided by 

AF/Al. 

The AF will suppmt DoD and Joint education and training consistent w/OSD guidance. 

The following education and training is considered mission critical and will continue under 

sequestration: 

Long-term professional military education (military and civilian attendance), all precommand training and CSAF mandated training, initial skills training, pre-deployment 

expeditionary skill training, and fi.mctional skills training as required by law. 

Flying Hours (POC: AFIA3/5) 

Operational leaders at all levels of command are charged with preserving readiness to the 

maximum extent possible in these difficult circumstances. Due to compressed plmming 

time lines and the unprecedented nature of sequestration cuts, we remain concerned about 

unanticipated second and third order effects on flying hom program execution and readiness. To 

mitigate this risk, operational leaders will ensure coordination across functional lines. In 

particular, civilian furloughs and weapon systems sustainment cuts (to include simulator 

sustaitm1ent) will significantly impact our ability to effectively execute flying hours or maintain 

operational competencies and must be taken into account. Readiness impacts will be severe and 

long-term under the best of scenarios; we must do everything in our power to avoid 

compounding negative effects through inefficient implementation. 

Effective immediately, AF O&M flying hours will be used primarily to prepare for and 

execute approved named operations, SecDef-ordered missions and deployments, nuclem 

deterrence operations, POTUS/VPOTUS/CCDR travel, Continuity of Government/Operations, 

and initial training, to include Formal Training Units. Units preparing for and executing these 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 096
missions will be allocated appropriate flying hours to remain mission ready or gain mission 

ready status prior to deployment. 

4 

Units not preparing for or executing these missions will follow MAJCOM guidance to 

preserve critical capabilities and readiness to the extent possible. This may result in 

ceasing operations at a number of units and tiered readiness beginning in March. In 

many cases, this will result in units having to stand down for prolonged periods, which 

will severely degrade readiness. For example, we anticipate more than half of our AD 

CAF units will reach this point by mid-May. MA.TCOMs will build reconstitution plans 

to best posture Airmen for returning to fly in FY 14, while ensuring these units maximize 

training oppmtunities (e.g. simulators, part task trainers, academics) clmingthe clown 

period. 

Not all SecDef approved missions will be supported. AF/ A315 will coordinate with 

MAJCOMs and Joint Staff through Global Force Management processes to provide 

detailed guidance. 

The following flying hom actions are effective immediately upon sequestration (I March 

2013) unless already in execution or otherwise noted: 

To suppmt emphasis on initial qualification training, we recognize advanced flying 

training (e.g., instructor upgrade, "TX" transition courses) may be severely impacted, to 

include Weapons Instructor Courses. MAJCOMs retain authority on specific termination 

dates and may approve waivers/exemptions required to allow completion of 

training/courses currently in execution or those deemed mission critical. 

Cancel O&M funded USAF exercises and AF flying pmticipation in all other exercises, 

unless required for deployment spin-up. 

Cancel all air shows, tradeshows, flyovers, orientation flights, heritage flights, and 

demonstration flights (includes funeral and all military graduation flyovers). 

Cancel all Thunderbird demonstmtion team events, effective 1 April2013. 

Cancel all installation open houses unless event includes only local assets and can be 

suppmted within available local funding. 

Lead MAJCOMs will continue to manage programs and make flying hour 

allocations/reductions based on supported missions. 

For senior leader airlift suppmt, the Air Force will continue to support White House-

. directed missions and DOD required users (lAW DODD 4500.56). For Congressional 

travel, the Air Force will strictly adhere to DODD 4515.12unless waivered by OSD-LA 

and expects there to be a signiticant reduction in available aircraft. All other senior 

leader military airlift support will continue to adhere to existing processes in AFI 24-101, 

but on a very restricted basis and with reduced aircraft available. 

AF/CV is ~ovaive!lexception-to-policy authority for events listed above. Only missioncritical events will be approved. Approvals will not result in increased flying hour 

allocation from the Air Staff; funding must be sourced from MAJCOlv!/Lead l\1AJCOM 

flying hours. Route requests tluough A3/5, to include event name, date(s), rationale, 

cost, and number of assets (personnel and aircraft) dedicated to support the event. For 

public aerial events, route questions through SAF/PA. 

Weapon System Sustainment (POC: AFIA4/7) 

Utilizing the 24 January 2013 Centralized Asset Management (CAM)/Executive Committee 

approved briefing data all weapon system sustaimnent fund holders will begin to execute 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 097
5 

planned sequestration actions to cover the worst case scenario reductions. Establish regular 

reporting of workload not accomplished and workload in danger of not getting funded in next 

report. Workload previously identified for deferral will not be initiated unless an equal dollar 

value offset is provided from within the relevant fund holder's portfolio. MAJCOMs and the AF 

Life Cycle Management Center will review war ready engine levels to determine where 

additional risk can be taken based on flying hour reductions. Program offices will continue to 

review activities to find potential savings and will continue to repmt impacts to contracts 

supporting weapon system sustainment (e.g., Contractor Logistics Support contracts) and depot 

maintenance workload. Ensure minimum impact to contingency operations effmts and protect 

the pilot production pipeline in accordance with stated priorities. In addition, sustainment 

prioritization efforts should protect aircrew readiness capability through favorable consideration 

of aircrew training device and simulator operations and maintenance contracts, As current 

mission requirements and warfighter priorities are reassessed, major adjustments to the 

previously reviewed plan will be vectored through the CAM Governance Structure. 

Air Force Working Capital Funds (AFWCF) (POC: SAFIFMBMR) 

The AFWCF will experience immediate and severe impacts caused by sequestration. Initial 

assessments indicate AFWCF 'Blue' cash will be depleted to a negative $772 million balance by 

the end ofFY2013. Coupled with projected Transpmtation WCF (TWCF) losses, the overall 

AFWCF cash balance could drop below negative $1 billion .. Without additional action, this will 

cause an Anti-Deficiency Act violation, which must be avoided. Cost control measures within 

the AFWCF are critical to minimizelosses; however, we understand that AFWCF activities may 

not he able to achieve sufficient cost reductions in the near term to off-set cash losses of this 

magnitude. With that in mind, we direct AFMC to take immediate actions to help mitigate the 

expected negative cash balance. Additionally, we direct AFMC to identify the month in which 

negative AFWCF 'Blue' cash and/or negative available budgetary resources will occur and to 

project the 'cash surcharge' required to prevent losses in total and by month. We will request that 

TRANSCOM also work to reduce costs and provide maximum possible insight into its cash 

position. SAF/FMB and AF/A4/7 will collaborate with AFMC and TRANSCOM to engage 

USD(C), OMB and the Congress in an effott to secure support for required mitigating actions to 

address any reinaining shortfall in AFWCF. External support needed to prevent ADA violation 

may include restoral ofreadiness accounts, implementation of cash surcharges, and/or 

reprogramming funds ti·om investment appropriations. 

Investment Accounts (POCs: SAFIAQ, SAFIFMBI) 

SAF/AQ and SAF/FM will issue funding restrictions at the appropriation level and program 

ceiling level that assume worst case impacts as a result of combined continuing resolution and 

sequestration effects. This could have the impact of an across the board reduction of I 0% to 

every program against the planned FY13 funding levels. Our ability to smooth programmatic 

impacts will be entirely dependent on the degree offunding flexibility we get with associated 

continuing resolution or appropriation language. As a result, we must have visibility of 

continuing resolution less sequestr·ation reduction baselines at the program level and any 

proposed movement of funds between program line items. Additionally, any anticipated 

contr·act, modification or task/delivery order award using appropriated investment fimding, with 

a value (not obligation) of $500M or more must be coordinated with AT&L before award. 

Requests tor AT &L coordination shall be sent to SAF/AQX. SAF/AQX will ensure Air Force 

coordination and will staff the package to AT&L for approvaL As a reminder, this AT&L 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 098

coordination requirement is for investment dollars only and excludes FMS, sustainment, services 

acquisitions, and award of basic multiple award ID/IQ contracts. Investment OCO obligations 

should be deferred until fmther notice; request for exception may be submitted to SAF/AQ and 

SAF/FM. Assume you will execute the sequestration plans you submitted to SAF/AQXR until 

fmther notice; this includes preserving unobligated prior year balances identitied to pay 

sequestration bilL Lastly, programs must adhere to guidance provided in this memorandum 

reducing studies, program management administrative and other contract costs. If our budget 

continues to decline, the Air Force will make strategic decisions to prioritize modemization 

programs to support the defense strategy and cunent readiness. 

Guidauce for all Air Force Activities 

Based on actual sequestration reductions, you will receive updated budget bogeys when they 

are available. For planning purposes, yotL should plan for the worst case, using the 9 Jan Top 

Line Reduction, Scenario 2 Bogeys. This assumes the Air Force will not receive external 

support for our $1 .8B OCO shortfalL You are directed to take the additional actions: 

Cancel all temporary duty travel unless directed by MAJCOM/CC or CV. Additional 

guidance includes: 

MAJCOM/CCs will determine which, if any, functional and 10 inspections will 

occur during the sequester. High priority should be given to nuclear-related 

inspections. 

The following TDYs are considered mission critical and approved as they support 

critical corporate Air Force functions: Promotion boards, command selection 

boards, special selection hoards, force management/force-shaping boards pre- and 

post-board activities, and development teams suppmting school and command 

selection only. Development Team meetings supporting school and command 

selection should be considered on-site TOYs, unless agreement is reached with 

AFPC in advance to conduct them virtually. 

Safety and Accident Investigation Boards are approved travel. 

Travel for promotion/retirement/award ceremonies or banquets is NOT approved. 

Speaker participation in wing/group commander courses should not require travel, 

but be executed by VTC, DCO or other teclmology. 

Travel to attend AETC hosted technical or follow-on training courses is approved, 

but attendees must confirm the course will continue as scheduled. 

SAF/IA will provide minimum required suppmt to international events. 

Cancel or defer all AF-hosted conferences and attendance at Non-Federal Entity 

(NFE) hosted conferences, seminars and symposia. Local attendance at an NFE 

event is allowed only if there is no cost to the Air Force. Previously delegated 

conference approval authority is rescinded. Request exemptions through the 

existing conference approval process for SAF/US approvaL Cancellation includes 

individual speaker travel if at AF expense. (All "gifted" travel must be approved 

by SAF/GC and reported annually.) Conference attendance for medical readiness 

training and annual chaplain ecclesiastical endorsement events will be allowed 

after review tluough the conference approval process. 

No spouse travel will be approved at AF expense, except for required precoHmland training (eg., squadron, group, wing pre-command courses). 

Implement additional reductions where possible to Science Engineering and Teclmical 

Assistance (SETA); Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS); Final System Design 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 099
Review (FSDR); Contract Military Equivalents (CME) contracts by end of fiscal year or 

period of performance if earlier than Oct 1, 2013. 

Reference SAFIAA Memorandum, Suspension of Top Secret Periodic Reinvestigations 

13 Feb 2013 (see attachment 4), suspend the submission of all Top Secret Periodic 

Reinvestigations. Suspend all Single Scope Periodic Reinvestigations (SSB!-PR) and 

Phased Periodic Reinvestigations (PPRs) with limited exceptions. This suspension · 

includes the mandatory Air Force Specialty Codes requiTing in-scope Top Secret 

investigations as found in Air Force Ofticer and Air Force Enlisted Classification 

Directories. Reinvestigations for Personnel Reliability Programs, Presidential Suppmt 

Programs, Special Access Programs and personnel with access to Sensitive 

Compartmented Information who are in positions directly suppmting the Intelligence 

Cmmnunity will not be suspended. Additional exceptions must be approved by 

SAT'/AAZ.

These events are unprecedented for the Department and the USAF. As such, it is critical that 

we maintain very open communication lines to ensure maximum awareness of actions and 

consistency of application of all sequestration guidance. This will enable us to infonn leadership 

of notable events and assist in the preparation for media/congressional inquiries. Request you 

provide a weekly update to the SAT'/T'MBP Workflow (SAFFMBP.Workflow@pentagon.af.mil) 

and identify any major actions/events that should be elevated to HQ AF. For example, if 

projected stand down of a t1ying unit is accelerated fi-om previous estimates, please provide those 

details. Each MAJCOM should identifY a command POC for submitting these repmts. Negative 

inputs should be documented with a NSTR email to the SAT'/FMBP Workt1ow. 

We will continue to coordinate with MAJCOMs/COCOMs on actions for consistency in 

application and recognize you have already implemented many of the actions above. We also 

realize there are many difficult decisions and trade-offs yet to be made, but they are necessary to 

comply with a reduction of this magnitude. We will continue working closely to communicate 

·sequestmtion impacts and advocate for restoral of funding necessaty to mitigate the devastating 

e±Tects of sequestration. If you have questions regarding this guidance, please call Ms. Marilyn 

Thomas, SAF/FM, at (703) 697-4464.

1. Given the current budget uncertainty and the resulting Under Secretary and Vice Chief of 

Staff of the Air Force guidance (Reference A), I further direct the following immediate actions 

be taken to minimize IT expenditures to only mission-critical capabilities. 

a) Limit IT hardware and software purchases via 3400 funds to mission-critical 

requirements. Eliminate/defer planned IT refresh and "new start'' IT projects. Where 

purchases need to made, consider consolidating organizational requirements to larger 

purchases to try to obtain pricing consideration. 

b) Re-validate IT procurements using 3600/3080 dollars to confirm priority and immediate 

mission need. Although budget authorizations up to the congressionally appropriated 

amount remain, look for every opportuoity to reduce or curtail spending. Defer what can 

wait without causing critical mission impacts. 

c) Evaluate current IT contracts and incrementally fund/defer where practical. Ensure use of 

mandated, available NETCENTS-1 and NETCENTS-2 contracts for IT requirements to 

support enterprise-wide long-term cost savings. 

2. Ensure that planned mission-critical purchases are aligned and directly support the transition 

to enterprise IT services where available to increase capabilities and save dollars. We are 

working several enterprise initiatives with DISA, Cyberspace Superiority Core Function Lead 

Integrator, MAJCOMs, and PEO C3 I&N. While many of the initiatives below are in their early 

stages, these opportunities can reduce IT expenditures across the Air Force. We will provide 

specific details on the initiatives in a separate memo, and work closely with your representatives 

to implement them. The initiatives include: 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 101
a) Enterprise Licenile Agreements (already established cost-saving AF-wide agreements for 

Microsoft and Adobe), 

b) Data Center Consolidation 

c) Unified Capabilities (voice/video services over IP, increased collaboration, and DoD 

integration) 

d) Network Security 

e) Cloud Computing Services 

f) DoD Enterprise Email 

3. Exceptions to this direction may be made for mission-critical activities as determined by 

appropriate senior officials as outlined in Reference A. Continue to report your total quarterly 

FY 13 IT expenditures in accordance with Reference C. 

4. Nothing in this memorandum is intended to conflict with existing public law or published 

DoD and AF guidanc~J on IT Asset Management. 

5. We stand ready to support your IT cost saving initiatives. Please share any initiatives that you 

think may be good candidates to implement across the Air Force enterprise and we will work as 

appropriate.

(e) DoD Instruction 1100.22, "Guidance for Detennining Workforce Mix", dated 12 

Apri12010 

This memorandum provides guidance for the management of the Total Force (active and 

reserve military, government civilians, and contracted support) during this time of continued budget 

uncertainty. The Department must maintain the viability ofthe All-Volunteer Force and sustain its 

operational readiness in the most cost-conscious rnam1er. To do so, the Department must also maintain 

a properly sized, highly capable civilian workforce that is aligned to mission and workload; 

complements and delivers support to the military; supports the well-being of the warfighters and their 

families; and recognizes evolving critical demands while guarding against an erosion of organic skills 

and an oveneliance on contracted services. Finally, the use of contracted services must continue to be 

reviewed to ensure the most appropdate, cost effective, and efficient support aligned to mission. 

As DoD Components begin to take actions consistent with reference (a)- including the 

implementation of civilian hiring freezes, the release of tenn or temporary civilian employees, and 

other personnel related actions- they must be mindful of the Department's obligations to manage the 

Total Force consistent with Title I 0 statutory requirements and references (b) through (e). These 

considerations are required in planning for the potential reduction or unavailability of fiscal year 2013 

funds (with the exception of funds for military persoll1lel) associated with sequester or the continuing 

resolution. 

Consistent with section 2461 oftitle 10, United States Code, and reference (b), the conversion 

of functions or work performed by, or designated for performance by, civilian employees to contract 

perfonnance without a public-private competition is expressly prohibited. Currently such competitions 

are prohibited under section325 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 

(Public Law 111-84). Workload currently perfotmed by, or designated for perfonnance by, civilian 

employees may not be transferred or assumed by contractors performing against prior year obligations. 

Most importantly, contractors may not perfonn inherently governmental work, and section 2464 of 

title I 0, United States Code expressly prohibits contracting of certain functions (enclosure I). DoD 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 103
Component heads, as well as field commanders and line managers, are urged to be particularly vigilant 

to prevent the inappropriate conversion of work to contract performance. 

Additionally, limits on contracted support spending enacted in section 808 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112-81, and implemented via reference 

(c) still apply. The statutory obligations in section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, to minimize 

reliance on contract perfonnance of work closely associated with inherently governmental functions 

(see illustrative examples at enclosure 2) remain in force. Moreover, the guidance in reference (c) to 

achieve reductions of such reliance, as well as in staff augmentation contract support, remains in effect. 

Planning for budgetary uncertainty does not relieve DoD Components from compliance with these 

mandates. 

As we continue planning during this period of budgetary uncertainty, the Department must also 

ensure military personnel are not inappropriately utilized, particularly in a manner that may degrade 

readiness or result in unnecessary costs to the Department. Consistent with references (d) and (e), 

except in extraordinary, and typically temporary, circumstances, individual military personnel or units 

should not perform functions or work that is not military essential (see illustrative examples in 

enclosure 3). The use of"borrowed" or "repurposed" military can harm readiness and operational 

capabilities by diverting service members from training or perfonnance of military essential functions, 

particularly when military members are required to work outside of tl1eir occupational specialties. In 

addition to the risk of hollowing the force, this practice could adversely impact the All-Volunteer 

Force and have negative effects on the recruitulent, retention, and career progression of individual 

members. During this period of budgetary uncertainty, military units may perform work previously 

performed by civilian employees or contracted support as part of a rotation base for an operational 

capability (if this has been reflected in Operational Orders), provided this is done on a limited and 

temporary basis. In the event of sequestration, where military personnel accounts are exempted, there 

may be instances where military personnel can be used on a short-term, emergency basis to satisfy a 

demand tlmt is of mission critical importance. 

Please ensure maximum distribution of this memorandum throughout your organization, 

particularly to your manpower, personnel, and resourcing communities. Questions regarding 

application and implementation of this memorandum should be addressed to the following points of 

contact within the Office of Total Force Planning & Requirements: Mr. Thomas Hessel 

(thomas.hessel@osd.mil or 703-697-3402), and Ms. Amy Parker (amy.parker@osd.mil or 703-697-

1 735). Thank you for your support in the mitigating risks from budgetary uncertainty that could 

adversely affect the sustainability and readiness of the All Vohmteer Force.

MEMORANDUM FOR MAJCOM/CVs, Relevant COCOM/CVs, ANG Deputy Director, and 

DRU/CCs 

SUBJECT: Planning for a Potential Civilian Furlough 

This memorandum makes you aware of the possibility of a civilian force furlough if 

sequestration is implemented in March. Department of Defense and Air Force leadership 

recognize the critical contributions made by our civilian workforce and continue to work to avoid 

the need for a furlough. The impacts a potential furlough would impose on the Air Force mission 

and on our valued civilian Ailmen would be among the many serious negative effects of 

sequestration. However, the Air Force continues to evaluate actions necessary to deal with the 

impact of a furlough, should it become necessary, and today the Department of Defense began 

the process of notifying the Congress of the intent to carry out a furlough, should sequestration 

occur. 

The Deputy Secretary of Defense's Management Action Group (DMAG) has developed 

planning guidance, which will be implemented across the Services in a consistent manner if a 

furlough becomes necessary. This guidance will lead to furloughing appropriated fund 

employees with very few, if any, exceptions. Please note, even in cases where an exception may 

be granted, it may not mean employees will avoid furlough completely, but instead may result in 

them being furloughed for fewer days than the rest of the workforce. Again, if we are directed to 

implement furloughs, we expect the impact to be felt by all appropriated fund employees and all 

activities supported by our civilian workforce. The President exempted military personnel 

appropriations from sequester, so this furlough does not apply to military personnel. 

DoD Guidance 

Furloughs will be limited to 22 discontinuous days (or 30 continuous days)- to avoid 

triggering lengthy reduction-in-force procedures that cannot practically be implemented in 

FY 13. Furlough days will be spread over a maximum number of pay periods with no more than 

16 hours per pay period-two days over two weeks for regular work schedule employees. At 

this time, the covered pay periods run from Apr 13 through Sep 13. Only USecAF, VCSAF, or 

high-level designees (MAJCOM Vice Commanders, the Deputy Director of the Air National 

Guard, DRU Commanders, and SAF/AA for the HAF portfolio) can approve mission-driven 

exceptions. Local commanders can determine scheduling of furlough days for their employees 

subject to local bargaining requirements. Again, this guidance is all predicated on the condition 

that a furlough becomes unavoidable due to sequestration. 

DoD guidance allows for exceptions in the following broad categories: 

• Civilians deployed to combat zones 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 111
o Civilians necessary to provide safety of life or prope1ty, but only to the minimum extent 

needed to protect life or prope1ty 

• Non-appropriated fund employees 

• Employees excepted by law (none within the purview ofMAJCOMs, ANG, or DRUs) 

• Foreign nationals 

Air Force Guidance 

Air Force guidance is consistent with DoD guidance. (For the purposes of this guidance, 

the term "Air Force civilian" includes COCOM civilians managed by the Air Force.) Air Force 

civilians required to provide a minimum level of life and property safety are defined as: 

o Health professionals and technicians who provide 24-hour in-patient care or emergency 

services, where civilian furloughs cannot be managed in a manner to meet minimum 

manning levels. 

• Civilian police, security guards, and flight leads at installations where civilians comprise 

25% or more of the flight level first responders. 

o Civilian firefighters where required to meet minimum manning for the Critical Level of 

Service (CLS) defined in AFI 32-2001. 

Please see attached for additional details. Exceptions will be minimal. We do not 

anticipate all employees in any occupational series will be excepted from furlough, and most 

excepted employees will still be subject to furlough even if only for a portion of the hours 

required for most employees. 

Very Limited MAJCOM/COCOM/DRU Exceptions 

A furlough will inevitably degrade readiness and mission capability. This is 

unfortunately unavoidable and to be expected. We recognize your command may need very 

limited furlough exceptions in specific areas unique to your mission. You may also need other 

very limited exceptions-so limited they defy broad categorization in Air Force-level 

guidance--to comply with statutory standards or requirements, or to avoid irreversible damage 

to the long-term health of the Air Force and its mission. Please provide these proposed 

exceptions to AF/Al (Alfurloughexceptions@pentagon.af.mil) by COB 26 Feb 13. The submission 

must meet the standards provided below. Approved exceptions will be sent to the Under 

Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) and the Under Secretary of Defense 

(Comptroller) for their review of consistency across the Department of Defense. 

The standard for an exception is not the "mission-critical employee" standard used for a 

government shutdown. Mission-critical employees generally will be furloughed. Exceptions 

should only be considered if (I) the loss of man hours will result in mission degradation to the 

point of failure, and (2) in a mission that is deemed critical. If an office is properly mam1ed, 

furlough should be manageable through proper scheduling- just like leave or an alternate work 

schedule. Only where staggering absence is not possible- such as for deployed civilians- is an 

exception truly essential. Thus, if an individual can take leave or participate in a compressed 

work schedule, they can be furloughed. All requests for exceptions must make it clear why 

staggered scheduling and other accommodations cannot be implemented. Exception requests 

must include the alternative lower furlough hours per pay period. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 112
Furlough Mitigation 

In the event of furlough, we expect you to mitigate mission and readiness impacts, to the 

greatest extent possible, by controlling leave and absences for all Airmen. military and civilian. 

You may not use contract funding or premium pay (compensatory time or overtime) to otl'set 

furloughs. Also, in the rare cases where employees are excepted !l·om furlough, you may also 

not allow them to take paid personal leave. If employees can be spared to take paid leave, they 

can be furloughed. We understand that mission degt'adation is unavoidable in this circumstance; 

we do not expect uniformed Airmen to replace the full capability of an approximate 20 percent 

reduction in availability of the civilian workforce. Additionally, we must ensure our furloughed 

civilians do not work from home or on-site, officially or unofficially, on their furlough days. 

Such action may result in Anti-Deficiency Act violations for which employees and supervisors 

will be held responsible (and may result in disciplinary action for both). 

Please also note that it is illegal to transfer inherently governmental work to the 

contractor workforce. Moreover, funding available for contmctor services is reduced for FY13, 

so we also expect to see a reduction in the contractor workforce through the remainder of the 

fiscal year. To take any other action may present grounds tor legal action against the Air Force. 

Moreover, as all appropriations (except MILPERS) are impacted by sequestration, shifting costs 

may create Anti-Deficiency Act violations in other accounts and thus must be avoided. 

A final impoi·tant note: While the Department of Defense has begun the congressional 

notification process, there are multiple steps to be followed before a furlough can actually be 

implemented. It is important to note that, like with any other changes in conditions of 

employment, it is improper to engage employees in discussions during town hall meetings, 

commanders' calls, etc., about executing a furlough without first notifying local union officials. 

Commanders may have these discussions,. but they must give union officials the opportunity to 

participate in them. Our bargaining responsibilities address not whether there will be a furlough, 

but rather the procedural implementation of a furlough. Bargaining must come tirst before 

wholesale notification. Commanders should begin local Impact and Implementation bargaining 

with unions immediately. 

We stand ready to assist with clarification of the above guidance or to answer any other 

questions you may have. Please direct any questions to appropriate functional staffs (Lt Gen 

Darrell Jones, AF/Al, or Ms. Marilyn Thomas, SAF/FM).

ON 

CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING EXCEPTED POSITIONS 

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FURLOUGH 

In preparation for sequestration and possible civilian furlough, it is necessary to identify 

positions that are excepted from furlough and the criteria used to make that determination. 

The categories of positions listed below are approved as excepted positions. Foreign Military 

Sales employees are NOT excepted from furlough. Requests for additional exceptions must be 

submitted to AF/A1at A1furloughexceptions@pentagon.af.mil no later than Tuesday, 26 Feb 13, 

for review and approval. 

o Civilians deployed to a combat zone. This includes pre- and post-deployment duty 

requirements. 

o Non-US civilians (local nationals). All are excepted from furlough. 

For the following three categories, most excepted employees will still be subject to furlough, but 

only for a portion of the hours required for most employees. 

o Civilian Police/Security Guards - Occupational Series 0083 and 0085: All Air Force 

Civilian Police/Security Guard personnel are subject to furlough except at installations where 

the positions comprise 25% or more of the funded Security Forces unit authorizations and are 

performing flight-level first responder duties. These exceptions are for GS-0083 civilian 

police officers and GS-0085 security guards, assigned to Security Forces squadrons, 

generally servicing in grades GS-09 and below (the only exception being GS-11 flight leader 

positions) aligned under FAC code 43S3. Only the following units should be exempt from 

furlough as they are under the 25% manning rule set:

o Civilian Firefighters, Occupational Series 0081: All Air Force firefighters will be subject 

to furlough except at installations where doing so would drop installation firefighter manning 

level below the Critical Level of Service (CLS) defined in AFI 32-2001, paragraph 2.7 and 

Figure A4.2. FES Capabilities. If an installation drops below CLS and must except 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 114
firefighters from full furlough, MAJCOMs will be directed to do so equally among all 

firefighters at that installation. HAF fi.mctional experts have determined that even though 

firefighters work a 24-hour shift, MAJCOM leaders can direct furlough hours which will still 

allow them to cover the higher risk periods. Initial assessments do not indicate there are any 

installations currently manned at levels where they will be unable to meet CLS standards 

even with a furlough. 

• Civilian Health Care Personnel: All Air Force Medical Service civilians are subject to 

furlough except those that provide 24-hour inpatient care or emergency service, and 

personnel providing ancillary services directly supporting the 24-hour inpatient care and

MEMORANDUM FOR: SEE DISTRIBUTION 

SUBJECT: Additional Guidance for Handling Budgetary Uncertainty in Fiscal Year 2013 

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide some additional guidance to the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense's memorandum on "Handling Budgetary Uncertainty in Fiscal Year 2013," 

dated January 10, 2013, to ensure consistency in the treatment of issues across the Department of 

Defense (DoD) as the reductions levied by sequestration and a year-long continuing resolution 

are implemented. All of these policies are effective immediately. 

Congressional Travel Support 

The Department will enforce strictly DoD's policies in its support of travel by congressional 

delegations (CODELs) and congressional staff delegations (STAFFDELs). It is DoD's policy 

that support for approved travel of members and employees of Congress shall be provided on an 

economical basis upon request from Congress, pursuant to law or where necessary to carry out 

DoD duties and responsibilities. Organizations need to ensure that travel of members and 

employees of Congress is sponsored by the DoD only where the purpose of the travel is of 

primary interest to and bears a substantial relationship to programs or activities of DoD and is not 

solely for the purpose of engendering goodwill or obtaining possible future benefits. Specific 

guidance is included in DoD Directive 4515.12 (DoD Support for Travel of Members and 

Employees of Congress) dated January 15,2010. Some specific policies worth highlighting 

include: 

• Military airlift will not be used for CODELs if commercial airlift is reasonably available. 

• Within the Continental United States (CONUS), no CODELs may use military 

airlift as commercial airlift is readily available. 

• Military airlift may be authorized for CODELs when in a Combatant 

Commander's theater if commercial airlift is limited or unsafe; every effort must 

be made to minimize costs. 

• Spouses may accompany members if there is an official function as long as they 

pay their own expenses and do not increase the number or size of aircraft required: 

• Minimum number of congressional members for military airlift originating in CONUS. 

• No less than 5 members for large aircraft 

• No less than 3 members for small aircraft 

• Tickets purchased by DoD for CODELs, ST AFFDELs, and liaison escorts. 

• Must be economy class; individuals may upgrade at their own expense. 

• DoD does not pay for a member's personal staff traveling to his/her home 

State/District; this includes travel, lodging, meals, or escorts.

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 120
• All itineraries for CODELs/STAFFDELs must be approved by the escorting Service's 

2-star Legislative Affairs Director to ensure that the itinerary is an efficient use of 

taxpayer's funds. 

Tuition Assistance 

All Services should consider significant reductions in funding new tuition assistance 

applicants after the date of this memorandum for the duration of the current fiscal situation. 

Civilian Monetarv Awards 

2 

Consistent with guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Bulletin 

#M-13-05, Agency Responsibilities for Implementation of Potential Joint Committee 

Sequestration), the Department will not issue discretionary monetary awards for its civilian 

employees, which should occur only iflegally required, until further notice. For bargaining unit 

employees, all bargaining obligations must be fulfilled prior to implementing the OMB guidance. 

Participation in International Events 

The Department should limit its participation in international events except in those 

instances where individuals are supporting Foreign Military Sales and the funds supporting these 

efforts are not being sequestered because the accounts are exempt from sequestration. 

Demonstration Flying 

All aerial demonstrations, including flyovers, jump team demonstrations, and participation 

in civilian air shows and military open houses will cease as of April 1, 2013. Flyovers in support 

of military funerals will be given special consideration. To ensure consistency across the 

Department all exceptions and waivers for demonstration flying will require the concurrence of 

the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs before approval. 

Support to Non-DoD Organizations 

All military support to non-DoD organizations for outreach activities will cease, except 

when the Department has authority to retain any reimbursement and is fully reimbursed for all 

incremental costs incurred in providing the support. This includes, but is not limited to, military 

equipment displays at civilian air shows, parades, and civic events. Fleet/ Service weeks as well 

as military open houses, and local community relations activities are permitted as long as the 

support/equipment can be provided locally an~ at no cost to the Department. To ensure 

consistency across the Department, all exceptions and waivers for support to non-DoD 

organizations and special events will require the concurrence of the Office of the Assistant to the 

Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs before approval.

Militarv Musical Unit (and Ceremonial Unit) Travel 

Military musical and ceremonial units will not be permitted to travel beyond the local area 

immediately surrounding their respective duty stations except when all transportation, lodging, 

and subsistence, are provided by the requesting organization and can be accepted in accordance 

with existing law and Department policies, or where the Department has authority to retain any 

reimbursement and is fully reimbursed by the requesting organization for all incremental costs. 

Units may continue to perform locally both on and off military installations as long as those 

performances can be conducted at no cost to the Department. To ensure consistency across the 

Department all exceptions and waivers will require the concurrence of the Office of the Assistant 

to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs before approval. 

Additional guidance will be provided as issues surface that require a DoD-wide policy.

7. 13 Feb 2012 SAF/AA Memo, Suspension of Top Secret Periodic Reinvestigations 

On 1 March 2013, we expect to absorb over $12B in sequestration reductions while we 

simultaneously work to mitigate an OCO shortfall of approximately $1.8B and operate under a 

highly restrictive Continuing Resolution. A reduction ofthis magnitude would be devastating to 

our mission and our people, but, since it appears sequestration cannot be avoided, we must take 

further actions to significantly slow spending to operate within mandated budget limitations. 

Implementation of these actions should be structured as best possible to minimize short- and 

long-term harm to our people and our unit readiness, recognizing that major impacts cannot be 

entirely avoided. This guidance applies to the Total Force. 

As a reminder and to assist you in making mission critical determinations, OSD directed 

protection of the following programs throughout the year: 

Fully protect funding for wartime operations 

Fully protect Wounded Warrior programs 

To the extent feasible, proteCt programs most closely associated with the new defense 

strategy ' 

To the extent feasible, protect family programs 

Continuation o(Near Term Actions Directed in 14 January 2013 Memorandum 

Conduct a thorough review of all OCO requirements and identify potential reductions 

which will not impair wartime operations such as delaying asset reconstitution and 

incrementally funding OCO contracts. 

Civilian hiring restrictions remain in place to include a hiring freeze, immediate 

elimination of temporary employees and not renewing term hire employees with 

exceptions for mission-critical activities and when appropriate in terms of personnel 

timing. See attachment 1 for guidance on Total Force Management. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 123
-~ -----------------------~~-----~------- --~------~---------

Cancel all temporary duties that are not mission-critical, such as attendance at or hosting 

of conferences and symposia (such as functional conferences), staff assistan9e visits and 

training seminars. 

Cancel ongoing and scheduled studies that are not congressionally directed or mission 

critical. Further Action: SAF/LL and SAF/FMBL will engage with Congress, as 

appropriate, to seek relief or delay approval for congressionally directed studies. 

Limit supply purchases to essential FY13 consumption (e.g., flying hour bench stock) 

and stop minor purchases that are not mission-critical such as furniture, and unit 

equipment. 

Given the current budget uncertainty, the Air Force Chief Information Officer, SAF/CIO 

A6, further directed immediate actions to minimize IT expenditures to only missioncritical capabilities. Specific actions are outlined in the CIO Policy Directive 

Memorandum, Subject: Near-Term Guidance onFY13 Information Technology (IT) 

Spending dated 15 Feb 13 (attachment 2). The actions are intended to ensure planned 

mission-critical purchases are aligned and directly support the transition to enterprisewide IT services to realize long-terin cost savings and mission effectiveness. 

Defer all non-emergency Facility Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (FSRM) 

projects to include Dormitory and Energy Focus Funds. Installations should continue to 

work with local contracting offices to gather low bids and provide funds requests to the 

Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). Projects may be funded later in the year if 

funding becomes available. Emergency requirements should be coordinated with 

AFCEC using the established process for Emergent Requirements (POC: AF/A4/7C). 

Where practical, de-obligate/incrementally fund contracts to encompass only FY13 

activity (examples include but are not limited to base maintenance contracts, advisory 

and assistance services contracts, custodial contracts, etc.). 

Review contracts for possible descoping or other long term cost savings. 

Exceptions for Continued Near Term Actions 

Limited exceptions for the continuation of these near-term actions may be made for mission 

critical activities and civilian positions as determined by appropriate senior officials. Requests 

for exceptions shall be approved by MAJCOM Vice Commanders, the Deputy Director of the 

Air National Guard, DRU Commanders, and by SAF/AA for the HAF portfolio. Previous 

delegation of waiver authority will no longer be permitted effective 1· March 2013. 

Additional Actions Required due to Implementation o(Sequestration 

In the event sequestration occurs, additional, wide-ranging and dramatic actions are required 

to ensure the Air Force operates within the new FY13 top-line. We direct the immediate 

implementation ofthe following actions in the event sequestration is triggered on I March 2013. 

Civilian Personnel (POC: AF/Al) 

Civilian Furloughs: 

Follow the guidance found at attachment 3. Please read the attached guidance closely. 

The authority to approve the very few exceptions to furlough cannot be delegated below 

the MAJCOM Vice Commanders, the Deputy Director of the Air National Guard (ANG), 

2 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 124
DRU Commanders, or SAF/AA for the HAF portfolio. ANG will follow guidance 

provided by NG-J1-1N. 

3 

It is also important to emphasize you may not use premium pay (compensatory or 

overtime) to offset furloughs, either to make up for lost work or to make up for lost pay. 

Premium pay is not authorized unless it is part of an employee's normal pay (such as an · 

employee who regularly earns a night shift differential). Beyond that, premium pay is 

only authorized when it is necessary to provide safety of life or property, but only to the 

minimum extent needed to protect life or property (i.e., firemen or emergency responders 

working over their regular shift due to an emergent situation that arises on their shift). 

To reiterate, except in the above circumstances, supervisors will not approve and civilian 

full-time employees will not work any hours in excess of their normal duty day. Parttime employees will have their furloughs pro-rated lAW 5 CPR 752. You may not 

request the furloughed employee work overtime nor may you ask another civilian who is 

not furloughed to compensate for the furloughed employee's lost productivity by working 

overtime. 

Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) guidance: 

All centrally-funded "must move" civilian PCSs will continue, to include overseas 

returnees, CDE placements, SES moves, priority placements, and centrally-funded career 

broadener, Palace Acquire, & Copper Cap placements. 

Centrally-funded civilian career moves/that are discretionary will be significantly reduced 

as a result of sequestration. A strategic pause is anticipated for these discretionary 

moves; guidance will be provided by AFPC. 

Locally funded civilian PCSs can be approved at the discretion of the local commander. 

Education and Training (POC: AFIAJ) 

Education and training guidance: 

All HQ AF leadership development courses scheduled through April2013 will be 

cancelled with exceptions for courses with non-recoverable tuition. HQ AF/A1 will 

evaluate subsequent classes on a monthly basis and assess the impact on our Total Force 

officer, enlisted, and civilian Airmen. 

Third quarter attendance at short-term·TDY professional military education (PME), e.g., 

SOS, CAL T, NCO Academies will be reduced. Specific guidance will be provided by 

AF/Al. 

The AF will support DoD and Joint education and training consistent w/OSD guidance. 

Due to the current fiscal challenges, Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is suspended 

effective immediately. The suspension applies to all Active Duty and Reserve Airmen 

and will remain in effect during the current fiscal situation. Airmen will no longer be 

permitted to submit new requests for Tuition Assistance through the AF Virtual 

Education Center nor the AF Automated Education Management System. Airmen 

currently enrolled with an approved tuition assistance form are not affected and will be 

allowed to complete current course enrollment(s). Airmen can continue to access their 

GI Bill benefits, either the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) or the Post 9/11 GI Bill as 

applicable, or use another funding source (i.e. grants, scholarships, or state Tuition 

Assistance for the Air National Guard). Airmen are encouraged to contact their local 

education center for additional information. Updated information will be posted on the 

AF Virtual Education Center website located on the AF Portal, www.my.af.mil. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 125
The following education and training is considered mission critical and will continue under 

sequestration: 

Long-term professional military education (military and civilian attendance), all precommand training and CSAF mandated training, initial skills training, pre-deployment 

expeditionary skill training, and functional skills training as required by law. 

Flying Hours (POC: AFIA3/5) 

4 

Operational leaders at all levels of command are charged with preserving readiness to the 

maximum extent possible in these difficult circumstances. Due to compressed planning 

timelines and the ·unprecedented nature of sequestration cuts, we remain concerned about 

unanticipated second and third order effects on flying hour program execution and readiness. To 

mitigate this risk, operational leaders will ensure coordination across functional lines. In . 

particular, civilian furloughs and weapon systems sustainment cuts (to include simulator 

sustainment).will significantly impact our ability to effectively execute flying hours or maintain 

operational competencies and must be taken into account. Readiness impacts will be severe and 

long-term under the best of scenarios; we must do everything in pur power to avoid 

compounding negative effects through inefficient implementation. 

Effective immediately, AF O&M flying hours will be used primarily to prepare for and 

execute· approved named operations, SecDef-ordered missions and deployments, nuclear 

deterrence operations, POTUSNPOTUS/CCDR travel, Conti:t;mity of Government/Operations, 

and initial training, to include Formal Training Units. Units preparing for and executing these 

missions will be allocated appropriate flying hours to remain mission ready or gain mission 

ready status prior to deployment. 

Units not preparing for or executing these missions will follow MAJCOM guidance to 

preserve critical capabilities and readiness to the extent possible. This may result in 

ceasing operations at a number of units and tiered readiness beginning in March. In 

many cases, this will result in units having to stand down for prolonged periods, which 

will severely degrade readiness. For example, we anticipate more than half of our AD 

CAF units will reach this point by mid-May. MAJCOMs will build reconstitution plans 

to best posture Airmen for returning to fly in FY14, while ensuring these units maximize 

training opportunities (e.g. simulators, part task trainers, academics) during the down 

period. . / 

Not all SecDef approved missions will be supported. AF/A3/5 will coordinate with 

MAJCOMs and Joint Staff through Global Force Management processes to provide 

detailed guidance. 

The following flying hour actions are effective immediately upon sequestration (1 March 

2013) unless already in execution or otherwise noted: 

To support emphasis on initial qualification training, we recognize advanced flying 

training (e.g., instructor upgrade, "TX" transition courses) may be severely impacted, to I 

include Weapons Instructor Courses. MAJCOMs retain authority on specific termination 

dates and may approve waivers/exemptions required to allow completion of 

training/courses currently in execution or those deemed mission critical. 

Cancel O&M funded USAF exercises and AF flying participation in all other exercises, 

unless required for deployment spin-up. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 126
Cancel all air shows, tradeshows, flyovers, orientation flights, heritage flights, and 

demonstration flights (includes funeral and all military graduation flyovers). 

Cancel all Thunderbird demonstration team events, effective 1 April 2013. 

Cancel all installation open houses unless event includes only local assets and can be 

supported within available local funding. 

Lead MAJCOMs will continue to manage programs and make flying hour 

allocations/reductions based on supported missions. 

5 

For senior leader airlift support, the Air Force will continue to support White Housedirected missions and DOD required users (IA W DODD 4500.56). For Congressional 

travel, the Air Force will strictly adhere to DODD 4515.12 unless waivered by OSD-LA 

and expects there to be a significant reduction in available aircraft. All other senior 

leader military airlift support will continue to adhere to existing processes in API 24-1 01, 

but on a very restricted basis and with reduced aircraft available. 

AF/CV is waiver/exception-to-policy authority for events listed above. Only missioncritical events will be approved. Approvals will not result in increased flying hour 

allocation from the Air Staff; funding must be sourced from MAJCOM/Lead MAJCOM 

flying hours. Route requests through A3/5, to include event name, date(s), rationale, 

cost, and number of assets (personnel and aircraft) dedicated to support t,he event. For 

public aerial events, route questions through SAF /P A. 

Weapon System Sustainment (POC: AF/A4/7) 

Utilizing the 24 January 2013 Centralized Asset Management (CAM)/Executive Committee 

approved briefing data all weapon system sustainment fund holders will begin to execute 

planned sequestration actions to cover the worst case scenario reductions. Establish regular 

reporting of workload not accomplished and workload in danger of not getting funded in next 

report. Workload previously identified for deferral will not be initiated unless an equal dollar 

value offset is provided from within the relevant fund holder's portfolio. MAJCOMs and the AF 

Life Cycle Management Center will review war ready engine levels to determine where 

additional risk can be taken based on flying hour reductions. Program offices will continue to 

review activities to find potential savings and will continue to report impacts to contracts 

supporting weapon system sustainment (e.g., Contractor Logistics Support contracts) and depot 

maintenance workload. Ensure minimum impact to contingency operations efforts and protect 

the pilot production pipeline in accordance with stated priorities. In addition, sustainment 

prioritization efforts should protect aircrew readiness capability through favorable consideration 

of aircrew training device and simulator operations and maintenance contracts. As current 

mission requirements and warfighter priorities are reassessed, major adjustments to the 

previously reviewed plan will be vectored through the CAM Governance Structure. 

Air Force Working Capital Funds (AFWCF) (POC: SAFIFMBMR) 

The AFWCF will experience immediate and severe impacts caused by sequestration. Initial 

assessments indicate AFWCF 'Blue' cash will be depleted to a negative $772 million balance by 

the end of FY2013. Coupled with projected Transportation WCF (TWCF) losses, the overall 

AFWCF cash balance could drop below negative $1 billion. Without additional action, this will 

cause an Anti-Deficiency Act violation, which must be avoided. Cost control measures within 

the AFWCF are critical to minimize losses; however, we understand that AFWCF activities may 

not be able to achieve sufficient cost reductions in the near term to off-set cash losses of this 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 127
I ~-

i 

-- -----------------------------,-~-------------------~-------~~-, 

6 

magnitude. With that in mind, we direct AFMC to take immediate actions to help mitigate the 

expected negative cash balance. Additionally, we direct AFMC to identify the month in which 

negative AFWCF 'Blue' cash and/or negative available budgetary resources will occur and to 

project the 'cash surcharge' required to prevent losses in total and by month. We will request that 

TRANSCOM also work to reduce costs and provide maximum possible insight into its cash 

position. SAF/FMB and AF/A4/7 will collaborate with AFMC and TRANSCOM to engage 

USD(C), OMB and the Congress in im effort to secure support for required mitigating actions to 

address any remaining shortfall in AFWCF. External support needed to prevent ADA violation 

may include restoral of readiness accounts, implementation of cash surcharges, and/or 

reprogramming funds from investment appropriations. 

Investment Accounts (POCs: SAFIAQ, SAFIFMBI) 

SAF I AQ and SAF /FM will issue funding restrictions' at the appropriation level and program 

ceiling level that assume worst case impacts as a result of combined continuing resolution and 

sequestration effects. This could have the impact of an across the board reduction of 10% to 

every program against the planned FY13 funding levels. Our ability to smooth programmatic 

impacts will be entirely dependent on the degree of funding flexibility we get with associated 

continuing resolution or appropriation language. As a result, we must have visibility of 

continuing resolution less sequestration reduction baselines at the program level and any 

proposed movement of funds between program line items .. Additionally, any anticipated 

contract, modification or task/delivery order award using appropriated investment funding, with 

a value (not obligation) of $500M or more must be coordinated with AT &L before award. 

Requests for AT&L coordination shall be sent to SAF/AQX. SAF/AQX will ensure Air Force 

coordination and will staffthe package to AT&L for approval. As a reminder, this AT&L 

coordination requirement is for investment dollars only and excludes FMS, sustainment, services 

acquisitions, and award of basic multiple award IDIIQ contracts. Investment OCO obligations 

should be deferred until further notice; request for exception may be submitted to SAF I AQ and 

SAF/FM. Assume you will execute the sequestration plans you submitted to SAF/AQXR until 

further notice; this includes preserving unobligated prior year balances identified to pay 

sequestration bill. Lastly, programs must adhere to guidance provided in this memorandum 

reducing studies, program management administrative and other contract costs. If our budget 

continues to decline, the Air Force will make strategic decisions to prioritize modernization 

programs to support the defense strategy and current readiness. 

Guidance for all Air Force Activities 

Based on actual sequestration reductions, you will receive updated budget bogeys when they 

are available. For planning purposes, you should plan for the worst case, using the 9 Jan Top 

Line Reduction, Scenario 2 Bogeys. This assumes the Air Force will not receive external 

support for our $1.8B OCO shortfall. You are directed to take the additional actions: 

Cancel all temporary duty travel unless directed by MAJCOM/CC or CV. Additional 

guidance includes: 

MAJCOM/CCs will determine which, if any, functional and IG inspections will 

occur during the sequester. High priority should be given to nuclear-related 

inspections. 

The following TDYs are considered mission critical and approved as they support 

critical corporate Air Force functions: Promotion boards, command selection 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 128
7 

boards, special selection boards, force management/force-shaping boards pre- and 

post-board activities, and development teams supporting school and command 

selection only. Development Team meetings supporting school and command 

selection should be considered on-site TDYs, unless agreement is reached with 

AFPC in advance to conduct them virtually. 

Safety and Accident Investigation Boards are approved travel. 

Travel for promotion/retirement/award ceremonies or banquets is NOT approved. 

Speaker participation in wing/group commander courses should not require travel, 

but be executed by VTC, DCO or other technology. 

Travel to attend AETC hosted technical or follow-on training courses is approved, 

but attendees must confirm the course will continue as scheduled. 

SAF/IA will provide minimum required support to international events . 

. Cancel or defer all AF-hosted conferences and attendance at Non-Federal Entity 

(NFE) hosted conferences, seminars and symposia. Local attendance at an NFE 

event is allowed only ifthere is no cost to the Air Force. Previously delegated 

conference approval authority is rescinded. Request exemptions through the 

existing conference approval process for SAP/US approval. Cancellation includes 

individual speaker travel if at AF expense. (All "gifted" travel must be approved 

by SAF/GC andreported annually.) Conference attendance for medical readiness 

training and annual chaplain ecclesiastical endorsement events will be allowed 

after review through the conference approval process. 

No spouse travel will be approved at AF expense, except for required precommand training (eg., squadron, group, wing pre-command courses). However, 

CSAF, VCSAF, and MAJCOM commander spouse travel is authorized for the 

purpose of base visits (and only base visits) when the visit has a robust spouse 

agenda, the spouse is accompanied by the active duty member, and MILAIR is 

available. No commercial travel is authorized and all travel must be at no cost to 

theAF. 

The funding for patient travel reimbursement for referred medical care (to include

These events are unprecedented for the Department and the USAF. As such, it is critical that 

we maintain very open communication lines to ensure maximum awareness of actions and 

consistency of application of all sequestration guidance. This will enable us to inform leadership 

of notable events and assist in the preparation for media/congressional inquiries. Request you 

provide a weekly update to the SAF/FMBP Workflow (SAFFMBP.Workflow@pentagon.af.mil) 

and identify ap.y major actions/events that should be elevated to HQ AF. For example, if 

projected stand down of a flying unit is accelerated from previous estimates, please provide those 

details. Each MAJCOM should identify a command POC for submitting these reports. Negative 

inputs should be documented with a NSTR email to the SAF/FMBP Workflow. 

We will continue to coordinate with MAJCOMs/COCOMs on actions for consistency in 

application and recognize you have already implemented many of the actions above. We also 

realize there are many difficult decisions and trade-offs yet to be made, but they are necessary to 

comply with a reduction of this magnitude. We will continue working closely to communicate 

sequestration impacts and advocate for restoral of funding necessary to mitigate the devastating 

effects of sequestration. If you have questions regarding this guidance, please call Ms. Marilyn 

Thomas, SAF/FM, at (703) 697-4464.

SUBJECT: ArR FORCE POLICY MEMORANDUM - Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) 

Mobility Program Impacts During Sequestration 

This memorandum identifi es the actions deemed necessary in order to manage the IPA 

Mobility Program as a result of sequestration budget reductions that went into effect on 1 March 

2013, and the Continuing Resolution. Compliance is mandatory for all Air Force (AF) elements. 

The employees working under an IP A assignment are not federal employees and 

therefore are not subject to furlough. However. the AF has decided that the reductions required 

by sequestration shall be applied to IPA agreements. Accordingly, all AF-funded IPA 

agreements must be renegotiated to reduce work schedule and all AF costs by 20 percent 

effective 22 April 2013. These costs include 1) total salary (salary and related fringe benefits) 

and 2) all other AF support costs (e.g. indirect costs, G&A costs, travel (TOY) expenses, moving 

expense, per diem, etc.). 

In order to implement, each IPA agreement will have to be individually amended to 

reflect the individual terms of the agreement and must be staffed for my signature. 1\.ll IP A 

agreements must be renegotiated and amendments signed by 19 April 201 3. Any agreement not 

successfully revised by 19 April must be immediately terminated. Detailed instructions and 

timelines are located in the attachment and must be implemented immediately. 

AF/DPS will provide your human resources office with a listing of IPAs within your 

organization. If you, or your staff, have any questions, please contact AF/DPS at (703) 695-5260.

§ 752.402 Definitions. 

In this subpart— 

Current continuous employment means a period of employment or service immediately 

preceding an adverse action without a break in Federal civilian employment of a workday. 

Day means a calendar day. 

Furlough means the placing of an employee in a temporary status without duties and pay 

because of lack of work or funds or other nondisciplinary reasons. 

Grade means a level of classification under a position classification system. 

Indefinite suspension means the placing of an employee in a temporary status without duties

continues for an indeterminate period of time and ends with the occurrence of the pending 

conditions set forth in the notice of action which may include the completion of any subsequent 

administrative action. 

Pay means the rate of basic pay fixed by law or administrative action for the position held 

by the employee, that is, the rate of pay before any deductions and exclusive of additional pay of 

any kind. 

Similar positions means positions in which the duties performed are similar in nature and 

character and require substantially the same or similar qualifications, so that the incumbent could 

be interchanged between the positions without significant training or undue interruption to the 

work. 

Suspension means the placing of an employee, for disciplinary reasons, in a temporary 

status without duties and pay for more than 14 days. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 137
§ 752.403 Standard for action. 

(a) An agency may take an adverse action, including a performance-based adverse action or 

an indefinite suspension, under this subpart only for such cause as will promote the efficiency of 

the service. 

(b) An agency may not take an adverse action against an employee on the basis of any 

reason prohibited by 5 U.S.C. 2302. 

§ 752.404 Procedures. 

(a) Statutory entitlements. An employee against whom action is proposed under this subpart 

is entitled to the procedures provided in 5 U.S.C. 7513(b). 

(b) Notice of proposed action. (1) An employee against whom an action is proposed is 

entitled to at least 30 days' advance written notice unless there is an exception pursuant to 

paragraph (d) of this section. The notice must state the specific reason(s) for the proposed action, 

and inform the employee of his or her right to review the material which is relied on to support 

the reasons for action given in the notice. 

(2) When some but not all employees in a given competitive level are being furloughed, the 

notice of proposed action must state the basis for selecting a particular employee for furlough, as 

well as the reasons for the furlough. 

(3) Under ordinary circumstances, an employee whose removal or suspension, including 

indefinite suspension, has been proposed will remain in a duty status in his or her regular 

position during the advance notice period. In those rare circumstances where the agency 

determines that the employee's continued presence in the workplace during the notice period may 

pose a threat to the employee or others, result in loss of or damage to Government property, or 

otherwise jeopardize legitimate Government interests, the agency may elect one or a 

combination of the following alternatives: 

(i) Assigning the employee to duties where he or she is no longer a threat to safety, the 

agency mission, or to Government property; 

(ii) Allowing the employee to take leave, or carrying him or her in an appropriate leave 

status (annual, sick, leave without pay, or absence without leave) if the employee has absented 

himself or herself from the worksite without requesting leave; 

(iii) Curtailing the notice period when the agency can invoke the provisions of paragraph 

(d)(1) of this section; or 

(iv) Placing the employee in a paid, nonduty status for such time as is necessary to effect the 

action. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 138
(c) Employee's answer. (1) An employee may answer orally and in writing except as 

provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. The agency must give the employee a reasonable 

amount of official time to review the material relied on to support its proposed action, to prepare 

an answer orally and in writing, and to secure affidavits, if the employee is in an active duty 

status. The agency may require the employee to furnish any answer to the proposed action, and 

affidavits and other documentary evidence in support of the answer, within such time as would 

be reasonable, but not less than 7 days. 

(2) The agency will designate an official to hear the employee's oral answer who has 

authority either to make or recommend a final decision on the proposed adverse action. The right 

to answer orally in person does not include the right to a formal hearing with examination of 

witnesses unless the agency provides for such hearing in its regulations. Under 5 U.S.C. 7513(c), 

the agency may, in its regulations, provide a hearing in place of or in addition to the opportunity 

for written and oral answer. 

(3) If the employee wishes the agency to consider any medical condition which may 

contribute to a conduct, performance, or leave problem, the employee must be given a reasonable 

time to furnish medical documentation (as defined in § 339.104 of this chapter) of the condition. 

Whenever possible, the employee will supply such documentation within the time limits allowed 

for an answer. 

(d) Exceptions. (1) Section 7513(b) of title 5, U.S. Code, authorizes an exception to the 30 

days' advance written notice when the agency has reasonable cause to believe that the employee 

has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment may be imposed and is proposing a 

removal or suspension, including indefinite suspension. This notice exception is commonly 

referred to as the “crime provision.” This provision may be invoked even in the absence of 

judicial action. 

(2) The advance written notice and opportunity to answer are not required for furlough 

without pay due to unforeseeable circumstances, such as sudden breakdowns in equipment, acts 

of God, or sudden emergencies requiring immediate curtailment of activities. 

(e) Representation. Section 7513(b)(3) of title 5, U.S. Code, provides that an employee 

covered by this part is entitled to be represented by an attorney or other representative. An 

agency may disallow as an employee's representative an individual whose activities as 

representative would cause a conflict of interest or position, or an employee of the agency whose 

release from his or her official position would give rise to unreasonable costs or whose priority 

work assignments preclude his or her release. 

(f) Agency review of medical information. When medical information is supplied by the 

employee pursuant to paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the agency may, if authorized, require a 

medical examination under the criteria of § 339.301 of this chapter, or otherwise, at its option, 

offer a medical examination in accordance with the criteria of § 339.302 of this chapter. If the 

employee has the requisite years of service under the Civil Service Retirement System or the 

Federal Employees' Retirement System, the agency must provide information concerning 

disability retirement. The agency must be aware of the affirmative obligations of the provisions 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 139
of 29 CFR 1614.203, which require reasonable accommodation of a qualified individual with a 

disability. 

(g) Agency decision. (1) In arriving at its decision, the agency will consider only the reasons 

specified in the notice of proposed action and any answer of the employee or his or her 

representative, or both, made to a designated official and any medical documentation reviewed 

under paragraph (f) of this section. 

(2) The notice must specify in writing the reasons for the decision and advise the employee 

of any appeal or grievance rights under § 752.405 of this part. The agency must deliver the 

notice of decision to the employee on or before the effective date of the action. 

(h) Applications for disability retirement. Section 831.1204(e) of this chapter provides that 

an employee's application for disability retirement need not delay any other appropriate 

personnel action. Section 831.1205 and § 844.202 of this chapter set forth the basis under which 

an agency must file an application for disability retirement on behalf of an employee. 

§ 752.405 Appeal and grievance rights. 

(a) Appeal rights. Under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7513(d), an employee against whom an 

action is taken under this subpart is entitled to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board. 

(b) Grievance rights. As provided at 5 U.S.C. 7121(e)(1), if a matter covered by this subpart 

falls within the coverage of an applicable negotiated grievance procedure, an employee may elect 

to file a grievance under that procedure or appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board under 5 

U.S.C. 7701, but not both. Sections 7114(a)(5) and 7121(b)(1)(C) of title 5, U.S. Code, and the 

terms of an applicable collective bargaining agreement, govern representation for employees in 

an exclusive bargaining unit who grieve a matter under this subpart through the negotiated 

grievance procedure. 

§ 752.406 Agency records. 

The agency must maintain copies of, and will furnish to the Merit Systems Protection Board 

and to the employee upon his or her request, the following documents: 

(a) Notice of the proposed action; 

(b) Employee's written reply, if any; 

(c) Summary of the employee's oral reply, if any; 

(d) Notice of decision; and 

(e) Any order effecting the action, together with any supporting material.

5 CFR § 359, Subpart H—Furloughs in the Senior Executive Service 

§ 359.801 Agency authority. 

This subpart sets the conditions under which an agency may furlough career appointees in 

the Senior Executive Service. The furlough of a noncareer, limited term, or limited emergency 

appointee is not subject to this subpart. The furlough of a reemployed annuitant holding a career 

appointment also is not subject to the subpart. 

§ 359.802 Definitions.

Any furlough for more than 30 calendar days, or for more than 22 workdays if the furlough 

does not cover consecutive calendar days, shall be made under competitive procedures 

established by the agency. The procedures shall be made known to the SES members in the 

agency. 

§ 359.804 Length of furlough. 

A furlough may not extend more than one year. It may be made only when the agency 

intends to recall the appointee within one year. 

§ 359.805 Appeals. 

A career appointee who has been furloughed and who believes this subpart or the agency's 

procedures have not been correctly applied may appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board 

under provisions of the Board's regulations. 

§ 359.806 Notice. 

(a) An appointee is entitled to a 30 days' advance written notice of a furlough. The full 

notice period may be shortened, or waived, only in the event of unforseeable circumstances, such 

as sudden emergencies requiring immediate curtailment of activities. 

(b) The written notice shall advise the appointee of: 

(1) The reason for the agency decision to take the furlough action. 

(2) The expected duration of the furlough and the effective dates; 

(3) The basis for selecting the appointee for furlough when some but not all Senior 

Executive Service appointees in a given organizational unit are being furloughed; 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 141

(5) The place where the appointee may inspect the regulations and records pertinent to the 

action; and 

(6) The appointee's appeal rights, including the time limit for the appeal and the location of 

the Merit Systems Protection Board office to which the appeal should be sent.

1000 DEFENSE PENTAGON 

WASHINGTON. DC 20301·1000 

MEMORANDUM FOR: SEE DISTR1BUTION 

SUBJECT: Implications of Ongoing Fiscal Cliff Negotiations 

DEC 2 0 2012 

We are providing you Ibis infonnation regarding the porential Impact of seqUestration 

here at DoD. As you are all likely aware, the Administration and Congress are continuing to 

work to resolve a series of economic or fiscal events, collectively referred to as the "fiscal cliff," 

that are scheduled to oocur around the end of the year. One of the key issues involves porential 

acrosg...the-board reductions in Federal spending-also known as "sequestration"-which were 

put in place by the Budget Control Act of 20 I !. Under current law, these reductions are 

scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2013. Many of you have raised questions regarding the 

impact of a potential sequestration fur the Department of Defense, and I would like to take a 

moment to clarify a few things. 

I want to start by noting that titis past summer, the President indicated his intent to 

exercise his legal authority to exempt military personnel funding from sequestration. This means 

that military endatrength will not be affected by sequestration in FY2013. 

Our civilian employees should keep in mind that the Adminisumion remains focused on 

working with Congress to reach agreement on a balanced deficit reduction pian that avoids such 

cuts. Sequestration was never intended to be implemented, and there is no reason why both sides 

should not be able to come togethar and prevent titis scenario. 

Nevertheless, with only a coople of weeks left before sequestration could occur should a 

deal not be reuched, it is important to clarifY the potential implications. Let me start by 

explaining what sequestration is and what it is not. Sequestration is an across-the-beard 

reduction in budgetary resources for all acconnts within the Department of Defense that have not 

been exempted by Congress. If it occurs, sequestration will reduoe our budgetary resources for 

the remainder of the fiscal year (which runs through Seplember 30). These cuts, while 

significant and harmful to our collective mission as an agency, would not neCessarily require 

immediate reductions in spending. Under sequestration, we would still have funds available 

after January 2, 2013, but our overall funding for the remainder of the year would be reduced. 

Accordingly. this situation is different from other scenarios we have encountered in recent years. 

such as threats of government shutdown due to a lapse in-appropriations. 

For these reasons. I do not expect our day~to~ay operations to change dramatically on or 

immediately after January 2, 2013, should sequestration occur. This means that we will not be 

executing any immediate civilian personnel actions. such as furloughs. on that date. Should we 

have to operate tmder reduced funding levels for an extended period of time, we may have to 

consider furloughs or other actions in the future. But let me assure you that we will carefully 

examine other options to reduce costs within the agency before taking such action. taking into 

080015618-12 

ftf=Af!- tioWiar IJ T'Jb 2 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 173
consideration our obligation to execute our core mission. Moreover, if such action proves 10 be 

necessary, we would provide affected employees the requisite advance notice before a furlough 

or other personnel action would occur. We would also immediately cancel any scheduled 

personnel actions should a deficit reduction agreement be reached that restores our agency 

funding. 

I want to assure you that we wi11 do our very best to provide clear information about the 

status of events as they unfold. 

Finally, let me express my gratitude during this holiday season for your continued hard 

work and dedication to the vital mission of the Department of Defense. Your co-ntributions touch 

people~s lives in many significant ways. and I want you to know how deeply appreciative the 

President and myself are for all that you do.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADAvCUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES 

FROM: Jeffrey D. Zient('-\} 

Deputy Directo~Management 

SUBJECT: Issuance of the Sequestration Order Pursuant To Section 251A of the Balanced 

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as Amended 

This memorandum is to inform executive departments and agencies (agencies) that the 

President has issued a sequestration order (order) in accordance with section 251A of the 

Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended (l3l3EDCA), 2 U.S.C. 901a. 

The order requires that budgetary resources in each non~exempt budget account be reduced by 

the amount calculated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in its report to Congress 

of March l, 2013, entitled OMB Report to the Congress on the Joint Committee Sequestration 

for Fiscal Year 2013 (seq\.testration report). 

Due to the failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, the President was 

required by law to issue an order canceling $85 billion in budgetary resources across the Federal 

Government for the remainder of Fiscal Y car (FY) 2013. OMB has calculated that, over the 

course of the fiscal year, the order requires a 7.8 percent reduction in non-exempt defense 

discretionary funding and a 5.0 percent reduction in non-exempt nondefense discretionary 

funding. The sequestration also requires reductions of2.0 percent to Medicare, 5.1 percent to 

other non-exempt nondefense mandatory programs, and 7.9 percent to non-exempt defense 

mandatory programs. The sequestration report provides calculations of the ammmts and 

percentages by which various budgetary resources are required to be reduced, and a listing of the 

reductions required for each non-exempt budget account. 

Agencies shall apply the same percentage reduction to all programs, projects, and 

activities within a budget account, as required by section 256(k)(2) of BBEDCA, 2 U.S.C. 

906(k)(2). Agencies should operate in a manner that is consistent with guidance provided by 

OMB in Memorandum 13-03, Planning for Uncertainty with Respect to Fiscal Year 2013 

Budgetary Resources and Memorandum 13~05, Agency Responsibilities fOr Implementation of 

Potential Joint Committee Sequestration.

OFFICE 0~ MANAGEMENT ANO BUDGET 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 

The Honorable John A. Boehner 

Speaker of the House of Representatives 

Washington, D.C. 205\5 

Dear Mr. Speaker: 

March I, 2013 

Enclosed please find the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Report to the 

Ccngrcss on the sequestration for fiscal year (FY) 2013 required by section 251A of the 

Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended (the "Joint Committee 

sequestration"). This report provides calculations of the amounts and percentages by which 

various budgetary resources are required to be reduced, and a listing of the reductions required 

for each non-exempt budget account. 

In August 201\, as part of the Budget Control Act of2011 (BCA), bipartisan majorities 

in both the House of Representatives and Senate voted for sequestration as a mechanism to 

compel the Congress to act on deficit reduction. The threat of destructive across-the-board cuts 

under the BCA was intended to drive both sides to compromise. Yet, a year and a half has 

passed, and the Congress still has failed to enact balanced deficit reduction legislation that avoids 

sequestration. 

As a result of the Congress1s failure to act, the law requires the President to issue a 

sequestration order today canceling $85 billion in budgetary resources across the Federal 

Government for FY 2013. Specifically. OMB calculates that, over the course of the fiscal year, 

the sequestration requires a 7.8 percent reduction in non-exempt defense discretionary funding 

and a 5.0 percent reduction in non-exempt nondefense discretionary funding. The sequestration 

also requires reductions of 2.0 percent to Medicare, 5.1 percent to other non-exempt nondefense 

mandatory programs, and 7. 9 percent to non-exempt defense mandatory programs. 

Because these cuts must be achieved over only seven months instead of 12, the effective 

percentage reductions will be approximately 13 percent for non-exempt defense programs and 9 

percent for non-exempt nondefense programs. 

The cuts required by sequestration will be deeply destructive to national security, 

domestic investments, and core Government functions. While the Department of Defense will 

shift funds where possible to minimize the impact on war-fighting capabilities and critical 

military readiness, sequestration will result in a reduction in readiness of many non-deployed 

units, delays in investments in new equipment, cutbacks in equipment repairs and needed 

facilities maintenance, disruptions in military research and development efforts, significant 

reductions in weapons programs~ and furloughs of most civilian employees for a significant

. ~.: 

amount of time. Sequestration will also undermine nondefense investments vital to economic 

growth, threaten the safety and security of the American people, and cause severe hann to 

programs that benefit the middle class, seniors, and children. According to analysis by outside 

experts, sequestration would reduce real GDP growth for 2013 by 0.5 to 0.7 percentage points 

were it to continue for the rest of the calendar year. 

The Joint Committee sequestration is a blunt and indiscriminate instrument. It was never 

intended to be implemented and does not represent a responsible way for our Nation to achieve 

deficit reduction. 

On multiple occasions, the President has proposed comprehensive and balanced deficit 

reduction plans to avoid sequestration. lbe President and Congress, working together, have 

already reduced the deficit by $2.5 trillion. The President has been clear that he is willing to 

make tough choices to reach an agreement on further deficit reduction. The Administration 

continues to stand ready to work with the Congress to enact balanced deficit reduction legislation 

that replaces sequestration and puts the Nation on a soWl.d long-term fiscal path. 

Sincerely, 

~0 "'.mey D. Zients

. 

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 238
OMB REPORT TO THE CONGRESS 

ON THE JOINT COMMITTEE SEQUESTRATION 

FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 

The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended (BBEDCA), 2 U.S. C. 

§ 901a, requires the Office of Management and Budget COMB) to calculate, and the President 

to order on March 1, 2013, reductions in budgetary resources triggered by the failure of the 

Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to propose, and the Congress to enact, legislation 

to reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion (Joint Committee sequestration). This report provides 

OMB's calculations of the percentage and dollar amount of the reduction for each non.exempt 

budget account and an explanation of the calculations. 

OMB calculates that the Joint Conunittee sequestration requires a 7.8 percent reduction 

in non-exempt defense discretionary funding and a 5.0 percent reduction in non-exempt nondefense discretionary funding. The sequestration also imposes reductions of 2.0 percent to 

Medicare, 5.1 percent to other non-exempt nondefense mandatory programs, and 7.9 percent 

to non-exempt defense mandatory programs. 

Basis for Calculations 

Discretionary A;ppropriations. As of the date of this report, no full-year regular appropriations bills have been enacted for fiscal year (FY) 2013. Instead, all agencies are operating under 

the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (CR), Pub. L. 112-175. In addition, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Hurricane Sandy supplemental), Pub. L. 113-2, provided 

supplemental funding to various agencies for Hurricane Sandy relief and recovery efforts. Accordingly, as required by sections 251A(7)(A) and 253([)(2) of BBEDCA, OMB's estimates for 

the level of sequestrable budgetary resources and resulting reductions assume that budget 

accounts with discretionary appropriations are funded at the armualized level provided by the 

CR, plus funding provided by the Hurricane Sandy supplemental and any funding enacted as 

advance appropriations for FY 2013. Unless another amount is specified by the CR, the annualized level equals the FY 2012 enacted appropriations, including changes in mandatory 

programs, net of any recurring rescissions, and increased by 0.612 percent pursuant to section 

101(c) of the CR. 1 Spending authority from offsetting collections is only increased by the 0.612 

percent when that spending authority is used to determine the armualized level. Amounts 

designated in the CR for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)/Global War on Terrorism 

(GWOT), and amounts incorporated in the CR by reference to the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2012, Pub. L. 112-77, do not receive the 0.612 percent increase. AB provided by section 

101(b) of the CR, whenever an amount designated for OCO/GWOT pursuant to section 251(b) 

(2)(A) of BBEDCA in either the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2012 (division A of 

Pub. L. 112-7 4) or in the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012 (division H of Pub. L. 112-74) differs from the amount in the President's 

FY 2013 Budget request, the annualized level equals the amount in the President's FY 2013 

Budget request. The CR levels are also adjusted for any transfers mandated by law. 

Unobligated Balances in the Defense Function. Pursuant to section 255(e) ofBBEDCA, unobligated balances in the defense function are sequestrable budgetary resources. The majority 

of estimated unobligated balances in the defense function are in Department of Defense accounts. In general, for multiyear accounts, the Department of Defense estimated unobligated 

balances as of March 1, 2013, by reducing unobligated balances as of December 31, 2012, by a 

historically-based estimate of obligations from prior year funds in January and February. 

' Information about OMB's calculation of the amounts appropriated by the CR can be found in OMB Bulletin 12-02, which 

is available online at http_•/ lwww.whitehouse.gov/ site.~!d&fault/tiles/omblbulletinsl&20121bl2·02.pdf.

Air Force Administrative Record for FY 2013 Furlough Appeals 239
OMB REPORT TO THE CONGRESS ON THE JOINT COMMITI'EE SEQUESTRATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 

Direct Spending. Estimates of sequestrable budgetary resources and outlays for budget 

accounts with direct spending are equal to the current law baseline amounts contained in the 

President's FY 2013 Budget, adjusted for the effects of legislation enacted since the Budget 

was transmitted. Two changes with the largest effect on the amount of sequestrable direct 

spending-providing for a zero percent update for Medicare payments to physicians under 

the Sustainable Growth Rate formula for calendar year 2013, and extending Emergency Un~ 

employment Compensation (EUC) through the end of 2013-were enacted in the American 

Taxpayer Relief Act of2012 (ATRA), Pub. L. 112-240. 

Special Sequestration Rules. The Joint Committee sequestration order is not an order 

under section 254 of BBEDCA. 2 Accordingly, as set forth in this report, the special rules in 

section 256 that apply only to a sequestration order issued under section 254 do not apply 

to the Joint Committee sequestration, except to the extent those rules are otherwise made 

applicable by another provision of law. Section 251A(7)(A) of BBEDCA does not include any 

such provision for discretionary spending; as a result, in calculating the reduction in discretionary spending required by the Joint Committee sequestration, this report does not apply 

the special rules in section 256 that apply only to a sequestration order issued under section 

254. The special rules in section 256 do, however, apply to the reduction in direct spending 

required by the Joint Committee sequestration, pursuant to the explicit direction in section 

251A(8) ofBBEDCA. 

Federal Administrative Expenses. Under section 256(h) ofBBEDCA, Federal administrative 

expenses are subject to sequestration pursuant to an order issued under section 254 "without 

regard to any exemption, exception, limitation, or special rule which is otherwise applicable." 

For the reasons set forth in the preceding paragraph, for the Joint Committee sequestration, 

this rule applies only to Federal administrative expenses that constitute direct spending. 

BBEDCA does not define "administrative expenses." For purposes of this report, "administrative expenses" for typical Government programs are defined as the object classes for personnel compensation, travel, transportation, communication, equipment, supplies, materials, and 

other services. For Government programs engaging in commercial, business-like activities, 

administrative expenses constitute overhead costs that are necessary to run a business, and 

not expenses that are directly tied to the production and delivery of goods or services. 

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. In addition to the changes to direct spending mentioned above, this report reflects three changes to the calculation of the Joint Committee 

sequestration required by ATRA. Section 901(a) reduced the amount of the FY 2013 sequestration by $24 billion, which was paid for by $12 billion of revenue increases and $12 billion 

in total reductions to the discretionary spending limits for FYs 2013 and 2014. Section 901(c) 

delayed the date for submission of this report from January 2, 2013 to March 1, 2013. Section 

901(e) altered the discretionary spending limits for FY 2013 for purposes of calculating the 

Joint Committee sequestration. 

Calculation of Sequestration Percentae-es 

Under section 251A ofBBEDCA, the failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to propose, and the Congress to enact, legislation to reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion 

triggers automatic reductions in discretionary appropriations and direct spending to achieve 

the deficit reduction that the Joint Select Committee process was meant to achieve. As shown 

in Table 1, the total annual amount of deficit reduction required is specified by formula in 

section 251A(3), starting with the total reduction of$1.2 trillion required for FY 2013 through 

z For further discussion, see the OMB Report Pursuant to the Sequestration Transparency Act of2012 {STA Report) issued 

in September.

FY 2021, deducting a specified 18 percent for debt service savings, and then dividing theresult by 9 to calculate the annual reduction of $109 billion for each year from FY 2013 to FY 

2021. As discussed previously, ATRA lowered the amount of the reduction required for FY 

2013 by $24 billion, leaving $85 billion to be achieved through sequestration. The annual reduction is split evenly between budget accounts in function 050 (defense function) and in all 

other functions (nondefense function), so that each function group will be reduced by $42.667 

billion in FY 2013.

Base for Allocating Reductions. The annual reduction is further allocated between discretionary and direct spending within each of the function groups in proportion to their share 

of total spending within the function group. The base for allocating reductions to discretionary appropriations is the discretionary spending limit for FY 2013 listed in section 251(c) 

(2) as revised by section 251A(2)(A), and as applied pursuant to section 901(e) of ATRA. For 

purposes of this report, the discretionary spending limits have not been revised to include 

adjustments pursuant to section 251(b)(2) for certain funding included in the CR and Hurricane Sandy supplemental because these adjustments cannot be made until OMB issues 

its Discretionary Final Sequestration Report for FY 2013 on March 27th pursuant to section 

901(b) of ATRA. Pursuant to paragraphs (5) and (6) of section 251A, and consistent with 

section 6 of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, 2 U.S. C. § 935, the base for allocating 

reductions to budget accounts with direct spending is the sum of the direct spending outlays 

in the budget year and the subsequent year that would result from new sequestrable budget 

authority in FY 2013. 

Sequestrable Base. Once the reductions are allocated between discretionary appropriations and direct spending using the bases above, the sequestration percentage for discretionary appropriations is obtained by dividing the discretionary reduction required by the 

discretionary sequestrable base, which is described above in the "Basis for Calculations" section. By statute, the discretionary sequestrable base differs from the base used to allocate 

the reductions between discretionary appropriations and direct spending. For discretionary 

defense programs, the sequestrable base equals total discretionary appropriations (including funding that would trigger cap adjustments), plus unobligated balances and funding financed by fees, minus exemptions. Except for funding for military personnel accounts, most 

discretionary defense funding is sequestrable.3 For discretionary nondefense programs, the 

sequestrable base equals total discretionary appropriations (including funding that would 

$ Defense sequestrable budgetary resources include oon·exempt new budget authority and unobligated bal<wces carried 

over from prior fiscal years. Budgetary resources for military personnel accounts are eJ<empt pursuant to section 255(0 of 

BBEDCA and the July 31, 2012letter from OMB ootifying the Congress of the President's intent to exempt military personnel 

accounts from sequestration, available at: http: 1/www whitelwuse.gouf sitesfdrfaultlfiles/omblleg~lativellettent mjlitary·

trigger cap adjustments) and funding financed by fees, adjusted to exclude funding for the 

Department ofVeterans Affairs, Pell Grants, and other exempt amounts. For mandatory programs, the sequestrable base is the same as the mandatory base for allocating the reduction. 

Pursuant to sections 251A(8), 255, and 256 ofBBEDCA, most mandatory spending is exempt 

from sequestration or, in the case of the Medicare program and certain health programs, is 

subject to a 2 percent limit on sequestration. 

Defense Function Reduction 

Table 2 shows the calculation of the sequestration percentages and dollar reductions required for budget accounts with discretionary appropriations or direct spending within the 

defense function. The calculation involves the following steps: 

Step 1. Pursuant to section 251A(5), the total reduction of$42.667 billion is allocated proportionately between discretionary appropriations and direct spending. The total base is 

the sum of the FY 2013 revised discretionary spending limit for the security category4 

($544 billion) and OMB's baseline estimates of sequestrable direct spending outlays 

in the defense function in FY 2013 and FY 2014 from new direct spending budget authority in FY 2013 ($0.662 billion). Discretionary appropriations comprise more than 

99 percent of the total base in the defense function. 

Step 2. Total defense function spending must be reduced by $42.667 billion. As required by 

section 251A(5)(A), allocating the reduction based on the ratio of the revised discretionary spending limit to the total base (the sum ofthe defense discretionary spending 

limit and sequestrable direct spending) yields a $42.615 billion reduction required for 

discretionary appropriations. Under section 251A(5)(B), the remaining $0.052 billion 

is the reduction required for budget accounts with direct spending. 

Step 3.As required by section 251A(7)(A), the discretionary percentage reduction for FY 2013 

is calculated by dividing the discretionary reduction amount calculated in step 2 

($42.615 billion) by the sequestrable budgetary resources ($549.325 billion) for budget accounts with discretionary appropriations in the defense function, which yields 

a 7.8 percent sequestration rate for budget accounts with non-exempt discretionary 

appropriations. A similar calculation is required by section 251A(8) for the sequestration of direct spending. Dividing the direct spending reduction amount ($0.052 

billion) by the sequestrable budgetary resources ($0.662 billion) for budget accounts 

with direct spending yields a 7.9 percent sequestration rate for budget accounts with 

non-exempt direct spending.

OMB REPORT TO THE CONGRESS ON THE JOINT COMMI'ITEE SEQUESTRATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 

Nondefense Function Reduction 

Table 3 shows the calculation of the sequestration percentages and dollar reductions re~ 

quired for budget accounts with discretionary appropriations or direct spending within all 

other functions besides 050 (nondefense function). The calculation is more complicated than 

the calculation for the defense function due to a two percent limit on sequestration of Medicare 

non-administrative spending, a two percent limit on sequestration of community and migrant 

health centers (which applies only to mandatory funding for those programs), and a special rule 

for applying the sequestration to student loans. The calculation involves the following steps: 

Step 1. Total spending in the nondefense function must be reduced by $42.667 billion. The 

portion of Medicare subject to the two percent limit is estimated to have combined FY 

2013 and FY 2014 outlays of $567.340 billion5 from FY 2013 budgetary resources, so 

a two percentage point reduction would reduce outlays by $11.347 billion, leaving a 

reduction of $31.320 billion to be taken from discretionary appropriations and other 

direct spending in the nondefense function. 

Step 2. Pursuant to section 251A(6), the remaining reduction of$31.320 billion is allocated proportionately between discretionary appropriations and other direct spending in the nondefense function. The remaining base ($605.839 billion) is the sum of the FY 2013 revised discretionary spending limit for the nonsecurity category ($499.000 billion) and 

the remairllng sequestrable direct spending base ($106.839 billion).6 The latter amount 

equals OMB's 2013 Budget baseline estimates of total sequestrable direct spending outlays adjusted for legislation enacted since the Budget's transmittal ($674.179 billion), 

minus the portion of Medicare subject to the two percent limit ($567.340 billion) in the 

nondefense function in FY 2013 and FY 2014 from new direct spending budget authority 

in FY 2013. The discretionary spending limit accounts for 82.37 percent of the remaining 

base in the nondefense function, and direct spending accounts for 17.63 percent. 

Applying these percentage allocations to the non-Medicare reduction required for 

programs in the nondefense function yields the reduction for discretionary appropriations ($25. 798 billion) and for remaining direct spending ($5.522 billion). 

Step 3. The sequestration for the mandatory portions of certain health programs is limited 

to two percentage points pursuant to sections 251A(8) and 256(e)(2). The portion of 

these two programs subject to the two percent limit is estimated to have combined 

FY 2013 and FY 2014 outlays of $1.344 billion from FY 2013 budgetary resources, so 

a two percentage point reduction would reduce outlays by $0.027 billion. Deducting 

these savings from the non-Medicare direct spending reduction leaves $5.495 billion 

to be taken by a uniform percentage reduction of the remaining sequestrable direct 

spending of $105.495 billion in the nondefense function. 

Step 4. As required by section 251A(7)(A), dividing the discretionary reduction amount 

($25.798 billion) calculated in step 2 by the sequestrable budgetary resources for 

discretionary appropriations ($511. 785 billion) in the nondefense function yields an 

5.0 percent sequestration rate for budget accounts with non-exempt discretionary 

appropriations." 

As stated above, the Medicare base is higher than the amoUDt stated in the STA Report due primarily to provisions in 

ATRA providing for a zero percent update for Medicare payments to physicians under the Sustainable Growth Rate formula for 

calendar year 2013. 

6 As stated above, the non-Medicare direct spend:Wg base is higher than the amount stated in the STA Report due primarily 

to a provision in ATRA extending EUC through the end of2013. 

7 As stated above, the nondefense discretionary base is higher than the amount stated in the STA Report due primarily to 

the Hurricane Sandy supplementaL

The remaining reduction ($5.495 billion) to direct spending is applied as a uniform 

percentage reduction to the remaining budget accounts with sequestrable direct 

spending and by increasing student loan fees by the same uniform percentage, as 

specified in sections 251A(8) and 256(b). Each percentage point increase in thesequestration rate is estimated to result in $0.016 billion of savings in the direct student loan program. Solving simultaneously for the percentage that would achieve the 

remaining reduction when applied to both the remaining sequestrable direct spending ($105.495 billion) and to student loan fees yields a 5.1 percent reduction. This 

percentage reduction would yield savings of $0.082 billion in the direct student loan 

program and $5.413 billion from the remaining budget accounts with non-exempt 

direct spending.

Reductions by Bude-et Account (Appendix)

DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 

1010 DEFENSE PENTAGON 

WASHINGTON. DC: 20301·10f-0 

The Honorable Robert F. McDonnell 

Governor 

Commonwealth of Virginia 

Richmond, VA 23219 

Dear Governor McDonnell: 

NAR 0 1 lfl3 

As you are likely aware, due to the inability of Congress to reach a deal on balaneed 

deficit reduction to avoid sequestration. the President will be required by law to issue a 

sequestration order later today canceling approximately $85 billion in budgetary resources across 

the Federal Government, of which nearly $41 billion Would come from the Department of 

Defense (DoD). Another sequestration order could be issued later this month,. which could result 

in a combined reduction for DoD of as much as $46 billion- roughly a 9 percent reduction in 

our entire budget except for military persoiUlel funding, which cutrent law permitted the 

President to exempt. 

These cuts must be fully accommodated during the remaining seven months of 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. In addition, the current DoD appropria1ion (the so-called ContinuiJli 

Resolution) does not allocate adequate funding for current operations, which greatly adds to the 

Department's FY 2013 budgetary problems. Because your State plays an important part in 

supporting DoD and our national security, we wanted to provide you with the information we 

currently have available about !Jow these unfottunate budgetary adjustments impact us, and in 

tum what it means for our installations and contractors in Virginia. 

We do not yet have a complete inventory of the required eutbaclcs. but I can provide 

some examples: The Navy will have to cancel maintenance on 11 ships in Notfolk. and to defer 

four projects at Daltigren, O..ana, and Norfolk. The Army would lose $146 million in base 

operations funding across Virginia, including cuts at Fort Lee and Fort Belvoir. The Air Force 

would suffer a cut of about $8 million to their taoilities projects atLangley Air Force Base. We 

are still assessing detailed changes and will be able to provide additional information on cutbacks 

in Virginia as we compile a more complete Jist.
