tions or headquarters, regional, or central operations 
or to provide for contingencies. 
(b) 
GENERAL 
GUIDELINES 
FOR 
RE-
PROGRAMMING.— 
(1) A reprogramming should be made only when an 
unforeseen situation arises, and then only if postponement 
of the project or the activity until the next appropriation 
year would result in actual loss or damage. 
(2) Any project or activity, which may be deferred 
through reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished 
by means of further reprogramming, but instead, funds 
should again be sought for the deferred project or activity 
through the regular appropriations process. 
(3) Except under the most urgent situations, re-
programming should not be employed to initiate new pro-
grams or increase allocations specifically denied or limited 
by the Congress, or to decrease allocations specifically in-
creased by the Congress. 
(4) New programs requested in the budget should not 
be initiated before enactment of the bill without notifica-
tion to, and the approval of, the Committees on Appro-
priations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
(hereinafter ‘‘the Committees’’). This restriction applies to 
all such actions regardless of whether a formal reprogram-
ming of funds is required to begin the program.
