 See section 256(d)(7) of BBEDCA for three additional Medicare-related programs exempt from sequestration. See also section 6(a)(2) of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (S-Paygo) (Pub. L. 111-139): This section sets out the calculation for sequestration under that law and indicates that the list of programs exempted from sequestration is to be found in section 11 of S-Paygo. Section 11 amended section 255 of BBEDCA, so no programs are formally listed there and is not even classified to the U.S. Code. Only the amended and restated list from section 255 (BBEDCA) is displayed there, and that does not reflect subsequent amendments. OMB has ignored this drafting error in applying sequestration procedures.
