June 13, 2013 IRC Meeting Action Items
Jeff Taberner (Fiscal Service) stated that due to the fact that there are several agenda items and A-11 changes that we need to cover that the following action items from the June 13th meeting will be discussed at a future meeting. The items are as follows:
1. Marilyn Evans (Treasury) questioned whether RC 29 should split out the General Fund and nonreciprocating trading partners. This will be discussed further at a future IRC meeting.
2. Discuss whether USSGL accounts with abnormal balances can have an "E" (either) attribute domain value instead of being assigned a "C" (credit) or a "D" (debit). This will be discussed further at a future IRC meeting.
3. Discuss the difference between Dedicated Receipts and Dedicated Collections. This will be discussed further at a future IRC meeting.
In addition, Jeff asked for the IRC members to look at the draft minutes from the June 13, 2013 meeting. You will have until the following Wednesday, August 7th to review those minutes and make any comments. They will then be put on the USSGL website as final minutes.
Tia Harley (Fiscal Service) presented one change for Part 1, Section IV USSGL Proprietary Attribute Table. David Surti (DHS) asked a question if you have a "Y" for Trading Partner Code shouldn't you also have a "Y" for Fed/NonFed? This is for USSGL account 2400. Michele Crisman (Fiscal Service) stated that Fed/NonFed was changed to a Y at the June 13th meeting. The Trading Partner Code change was missed and is being updated now. Teresa Lampkin (DOT) asked whether USSGL account 240000 would have a F/N for Fed/NonFed in 2014? Michele said no not at this time. This item is currently being researched on how this would work in the GTAS system. According to TFM 2-4700 when you have a GAS (Government Account Series) investment USSGL account 2400 is reported on your Reclassified Balance Sheet as a F but is reported on your Balance Sheet as a N. This is being resolved in the next TFM 2-4700 issuance. It will give guidance for 2014. Cindy Scharf (LOC) said she also had the same question as Teresa.
Michele Crisman presented the changes for Part 1, Section IV FACTS II Attribute Table. Most of these changes are due to A-11. Michele also stated that there were no changes to Part 2, Section IV. There were no comments.
Jeff Taberner presented the changes for Part 1, Section V for the Balance Sheet. He also stated that these changes applied to Part 2. David Surti asked whether USSGL account 2400 would also need to be cross walked to line 19? Jeff mentioned that we would check into this and follow up with you. Later in the conference call Michele Crisman stated that line 19 on the Balance Sheet was for Fed/NonFed of F. For the Balance Sheet which is a A-136 statement USSGL account 2400 only has a Fed/NonFed domain value of N which is line 27. As mentioned earlier according to current TFM 2-4700 guidance when you have GAS securities you would use Fed/NonFed of F for USSGL account 2400 on your Reclassified Balance Sheet only. David was not on the conference line at that point.
Lisa Smith (Fiscal Service) presented Parts 1 and 2, Section V, changes for the SF133 and P&F. Teresa Tancre (OMB) indicated that the majority of the changes were due to A-11 and sequestration guidance. She wanted to highlight that the Reduction Type Code domain values of AB1 through AB5 (Across the Board) can only be discretionary. She emphasized to everyone if you see anything with the crosswalks that you have a question on or think is incorrect to let her know. She thanked DOD and USDA for identifying changes needed for them.
Lisa Smith presented Parts 1 and 2, Section V, changes for the Statement of Budgetary Resources. Jerry Shafer (VA) had a question for Teresa Tancre on the SBR on line 1021. Teresa stated that line 1021 doesn't change on the SBR. It still incorporates expired and nonexpired accounts.
Jonnathan Diaz-Olivo (Fiscal Service) presented the changes for the Fiscal Year 2013 and the Fiscal Year 2014 FMS 2108: Yearend Closing Statement. There were changes due to sequestration as well as changes coordinated between Fiscal Service, OMB and the Department of Transportation to better capture the activity for Unfunded Contract Authority in the Year End Statement, and other changes due to corrections in the GTAS Attribute Table. Jonnathan mentioned that USSGL account 415500 "Appropriation To Liquidate Contract Authority – Allocation Transferred" is being proposed as a new USSGL account for FY 2014, and it will be subject to IRC Board approval. Teresa Tancre provided a more detailed explanation of the changes due to sequestration that impacted the FMS 2108 for FY13 and FY14. The sequestration changes included the addition of USSGL account 4382 "Temporary Reduction – New Budgetary Authority" with Authority Type "B" and "C". Teresa mentioned that the USSGL account 4382 with an Authority Type "B" was missing from the Indefinite Borrowing Authority section, and the USSGL account 4382 with an Authority Type "C" was missing from the Indefinite Contract Authority section of the FMS 2108 for Fiscal Year 2013 reporting. Jonnathan stated that he will proceed to make those changes and that those changes won't be necessary for the Fiscal Year 2014 FMS 2108 because the statement doesn't show a breakdown between definite and indefinite. Jonnathan also reminded the IRC that the agencies that are reporting USSGL account 4382 with Authority Type "D", "P", "S", will continue to report that account on the FMS 2108 column 11 "Unobligated Balance"
Jeff Taberner presented the Part 1, Section VI changes for the Reclassified Balance Sheet. These changes also apply to Part 2.
Tia Harley presented the Part 1, Section VI changes for the Reclassified Statement of Net Cost. There were no changes to Part 2.
Shannon Redding (Fiscal Service) presented the changes for Part 2, Section VII for the Validations and Edits. There were a number of validation changes due to attribute table changes. Edit #21 also had a change. Teresa Tancre questioned why USSGL account 470000 was being added to an edit as expired. Michele Crisman said this will be checked into. It will need to be modified to Expiring not Expired.
Proposal for New Budgetary Account for DOT
Michele Crisman said that there is going to be a presentation for a proposal to add a USSGL account for DOT use. Michele said this ballot will be mailed out today with a turnaround time for next Wednesday. Maryla Engelking (DOD) said that they will have furlough days on Tuesday and Wednesday in order to turn it around in time she would need to get the ballot today. Charles Matthews (DOT) presented 415500 as a new USSGL account proposed for 2014. He stated that it will be for liquidation of contract authority. Teresa Tancre said that currently in pre-closing the current transaction impacts the contract authority amounts. The proposal would correctly present the pre-closing presentation. Charles stated that the handouts have the details of what they want to do. Michele asked if this account is specific to DOT or a TAS? Charles said he would send the details on what fund family this affects.
Capital Transfer Scenario
Kent Linscott (Fiscal Service) presented an update to the Capital Transfers Scenario. He stated that this scenario was published in May 2012 and gave some background information on the scenario. There has been some confusion regarding this scenario. Kent went over the changes to this scenario to help with the confusion. James Gallagher (USAID) brought up some questions. There are some agencies having difficulty with the guidance. There were some general discussions regarding the published guidance. Kirstie Hart (Fiscal Service) stated she had participated in a meeting with several agencies back in December 2012 and was willing to have another meeting to go over the Capital Transfers. Please email her if you want to participate in this meeting and she will coordinate the meeting.
Bethany Williams (DOE) asked if the SF133 changes will be in FACTSII? Teresa Tancre said they will be. In addition, a question was asked when will the changes that affect GTAS go into place? Todd Shafer (Fiscal Service) said that any changes affecting GTAS will be in the next publish that is in August.
Guidance for 2014 for Fed/NonFed for USSGL account 240000 for the Reclassified Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet and the treatment in GTAS. This is being discussed and to our understanding is being addressed in TFM 2-4700 guidance that will be published.
