On April 15, 2011, the President signed H.R. 1473 into law as P.L. 112-10 . This public law represents the final appropriations act for FY2011. P.L. 112-10 includes roughly $41.6 billion in non-emergency discretionary spending for the Department of Homeland Security, while mandating a 0.2% across-the-board rescission for all departmental appropriations except for narrowly delineated funding for Coast Guard "overseas contingency operations directly related to the global war on terrorism." As is often the case with continuing resolutions, P.L. 112-10 provides more limited direction than is given through a traditional bill and conference report as to how appropriations should be divided among individual programs, projects and activities, but instead requires the department to provide spending plans to outline how DHS chooses to allocate those funds. Congress did not enact the 12 regular appropriations bills for FY2011 before the end of FY2010. As a result, until P.L. 112-10 was signed into law, funding levels for government activities were set by a series of FY2011 interim continuing resolutions: P.L. 111-242 (124 Stat. 2607), covering October 1, 2010—December 3, 2010; P.L. 111-290 (124 Stat. 3063), covering December 4, 2010—December 18, 2010; P.L. 111-317 , (124 Stat. 3454), covering December 19, 2010—December 21, 2010; P.L. 111-322 (124 Stat. 3518), covering December 22, 2010—March 4, 2011; P.L. 112-4 (125 Stat. 6), covering March 5, 2011—March 18, 2011; P.L. 112-6 (125 Stat. 23), covering March 19, 2011—April 8, 2011; and P.L. 112-8 (125 Stat. 34), covering April 9, 2011—April 15, 2011. The initial CR, P.L. 111-242 , extended funding for the 12 outstanding regular bills generally at FY2010-enacted spending levels from October 1, 2010, through December 3, 2010. The second CR, P.L. 111-290 , extended this expiration date through December 18, 2010. On December 8, 2010, the House passed the FY2011 full-year CR, H.R. 3082 (111 th Congress), covering the 12 regular bills. To provide more time to resolve differences within Congress and between Congress and the President, the House adopted another interim CR, H.J.Res. 105 (111 th Congress), on December 17, 2010. This measure extended the December 18, 2010, expiration date three days, through December 21, 2010. On December 21, 2010, the Senate amended House-passed H.R. 3082 , to extend funding for the outstanding appropriations bills at the FY2010-enacted spending level. The House passed the Senate-amended version of H.R. 3082 , which was signed by the President on December 22, 2010. P.L. 111-322 extended funding through March 4, 2011. After the new Congress was sworn in, the House adopted the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 ( H.R. 1 , 112 th Congress) on February 19, 2011. On February 28, 2011, Further Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011 ( H.J.Res. 44 , 112 th Congress) was introduced to continue funding for two weeks, from March 5, 2011, through March 18, 2011. Both pieces of legislation included provisions that would reduce funding available for specific DHS accounts and programs. On March 1, 2011, the House passed H.J.Res. 44 . The Senate passed H.J.Res. 44 on March 2, 2011, and the measure was signed by the President on March 3, 2011 ( P.L. 112-4 ). H.J.Res. 44 provided a spending rate for all 12 regular bills at FY2010 levels through March 18, 2011 with certain reductions in spending compared with P.L. 111-322 (the fourth CR in effect from December 21), and compared with FY2010 enacted levels. These reductions included the following for DHS: $1 million from DHS Undersecretary for Management—for logistics training; $1 million from Customs and Border Protection Salaries and Expenses—for a solar powered batteries program; $43 million from Customs and Border Protection Construction—for facility construction projects; $1 million from the Transportation Security Administration—for the National "Safe Skies" Alliance; $4 million from the Coast Guard's Operations and Expenses account—for the Operations System Center; $17 million from the Coast Guard's Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements account—for shore construction accounts; $4 million from the Coast Guard's Alteration of Bridges account; $20 million from the National Programs and Protection Directorate—for cyber-security and infrastructure projects; $5 million from the Office of Health Affairs for bio-preparedness; $103 million from FEMA's State and Local programs account for university and emergency operations center grants; $25 million from FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation grants; and $41 million from Science and Technology Directorate research projects. On March 15, 2011, the House passed H.J.Res. 48 . The Senate passed H.J.Res. 48 on March 17, 2011, and the President signed the measure into law on March 18, 2011 ( P.L. 112-6 ). P.L. 112-6 provided a spending rate for all 12 regular bills through April 8, 2011, at the level of the previous short-term CR with additional modifications. The only further reduction to the Department of Homeland Security in P.L. 112-6 was a $106.6 million rescission from Customs and Border Protection Construction. On April 7, the House passed H.R. 1363 . The Senate passed H.R. 1363 with an amendment on April 8, 2011. The House passed the amended bill on April 9, 2011, and the President signed the measure into law the same day ( P.L. 112-8 ). P.L. 112-8 provided a spending rate for all 12 regular bills through April 15, 2011, at the level of the previous short-term CR with additional modifications, allowing time for the final year-long CR to be completed. None of those modifications directly affected the Department of Homeland Security's budget. The Senate Committee on Appropriations reported its version of the FY2010 DHS Appropriations bill on July 15, 2010. This report uses Senate-reported S. 3607  and the committee report ( S.Rept. 111-222 ) accompanying  S. 3607  as the source for the Senate-reported numbers. The Senate-reported S. 3607  recommends a net appropriation of $45.2 billion for DHS for FY2011. This amounts to a $195 million increase as compared to the Administration's request, and a nearly $1.3 billion increase as compared to the $43.9 billion enacted for FY2010 (not including FY2010 supplemental funding). The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security marked up its draft bill in subcommittee on June 24, 2010. However, the day the bill was scheduled for full committee markup, the bill was withdrawn and the legislation was never brought before the full committee or made public. The Administration requested a net appropriation of $45.0 billion in budget authority for FY2011. This amounts to a $1.1 billion, or a 2.4% increase from the $43.9 billion enacted for FY2010. Total budget authority requested by the Administration for DHS for FY2011 amounts to $52.6 billion as compared to $51.7 billion enacted for FY2010. Net requested appropriations for major agencies within DHS were as follows: Customs and Border Protection (CBP), $9,809 million; Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), $5,524 million; Transportation Security Administration (TSA), $5,729 million; Coast Guard, $9,867 million; Secret Service, $1,570 million; National Protection & Programs Directorate, $2,362 million; Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), $7,294 million; Science and Technology, $1,018 million; and the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, $306 million. Data used in this report for FY2010 enacted and FY2011 are from the President's Budget Documents, the FY2011 DHS Congressional Budget Justifications , the FY2011 DHS Budget in Brief , the Senate-reported version of S. 3607 , and P.L. 112-10 . Data used in Appendix B are taken from the Analytical Perspectives volume of the FY2006-FY2011 President's Budget. Except when discussing total amounts for the bill as a whole, all amounts contained in this report are generally rounded to the nearest million. This report describes the final direction given to the Department of Homeland Security through P.L. 112-10 by title, then goes into more detail by component, outlining President's FY2011 request for funding for DHS programs and activities, as submitted to Congress on February 1, 2010. It compares the enacted FY2010 amounts to the request for FY2011, tracks the Senate's recommendations as included in Senate's Committee Report, and notes congressional issues related to the FY2011 DHS appropriations bills with particular attention paid to discretionary funding amounts. No House recommendations are available for comparison as no full committee markup was held for the House draft in the second session of the 111 th Congress. The report does not follow specific funding issues related to mandatory funding—such as retirement pay—nor does the report systematically follow any legislation related to the authorization or amendment of DHS programs. This report will not be updated further. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 ( P.L.
