ations provided for in the most recently enacted 
joint resolution making continuing appropriations 
for part of that fiscal year or any funding levels es-
tablished under the provisions of this Act,

1 percentage point. The 90-day period reductions shall ex-
tend beyond the last day of that fiscal year. 
‘‘(B) If this section is in effect at the end of a fiscal 
year, funding levels shall continue as provided in this sec-
tion for the next fiscal year. 
‘‘(3) Appropriations and funds made available, and 
authority granted, for any fiscal year pursuant to this sec-
tion for a program, project, or activity shall be available 
for the period beginning with the first day of a lapse in

plicable regular appropriation bill for such fiscal year be-
comes law (whether or not such law provides for such pro-
gram, project, or activity) or a continuing resolution mak-
ing appropriations becomes law, as the case may be.
