This report presents an analysis of the discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for fiscal year 2014 (FY2014). It compares unsequestered enacted FY2013 appropriations for DHS, the President's request for FY2014 funding for DHS, and the appropriations legislation crafted in response to that request. The first portion of this report provides an overview and historical context for reviewing DHS appropriations, highlighting various aspects including the comparative size of DHS components, the amount of non-appropriated funding the department receives, and trends in the timing and size of the department's appropriations legislation. The second portion of the report outlines the legislative chronology of major events in funding the department for FY2014. The third portion of the report provides detailed information on DHS appropriations, broken down by component, with discussing of associated policy issues. Discussion of appropriations legislation involves a variety of unique budgetary concepts. Appendix A to this report explains a variety of these concepts, including budget authority, obligations, outlays, discretionary and mandatory spending, offsetting collections, allocations, and adjustments to the discretionary spending caps under the Budget Control Act. This report pays particular attention to discretionary funding amounts. The report does not provide in-depth analysis of specific issues related to mandatory funding—such as retirement pay—nor does the report systematically track any other legislation related to the authorization or amendment of DHS programs, activities, or fee revenues. For FY2014, the Administration requested $39.028 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority for DHS, as part of an overall budget request of $60.0 billion (including fees, trust funds, and other funding that is not appropriated or does not score against the overall discretionary spending caps budget allocation for the bill). On June 6, 2013, the House passed H.R. 2217 with several amendments by a vote of 245-182. This report uses House-passed H.R. 2217 and the accompanying report ( H.Rept. 113-91 ) as the source for House-passed appropriations numbers. After floor action the House bill carried a net discretionary appropriation of $38.991 billion for DHS for FY2014. Several House-adopted floor amendments used management accounts as offsets, leaving funding for those activities 40% below the requested level. Increases approved by the House above the committee-recommended level for DHS activities included Customs and Border Protection's Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology account, Coast Guard's Operating Expenses account, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Urban Search and Rescue Response activities and grant programs. On July 17, the Senate Appropriations Committee reported out H.R. 2217 with an amendment by a vote of 21-9. The Senate-reported bill carried a net discretionary appropriation of $39.100 billion for DHS for FY2014. Late on September 30, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) gave notice to federal agencies that an emergency shutdown furlough would be put in place as a result of the failure to enact appropriations legislation for FY2014. On September 27, 2013, DHS released its "Procedures Relating to a Federal Funding Hiatus," which included details on how DHS planned to determine who was required to report to work, cease unexempted government operations, recall certain workers in the event of an emergency, and restart operations once an accord was reached on funding issues. More than 31,000 DHS employees were furloughed, and tens of thousands of others who were excepted from furlough and whose salaries were paid through annual appropriations worked without pay. For a broader discussion of a federal government shutdown, see CRS Report RL34680, Shutdown of the Federal Government: Causes, Processes, and Effects , coordinated by [author name scrubbed]. On October 17, 2013, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed, and the President signed into law, a Senate-amended version of H.R. 2775 , which carried a short-term continuing resolution (CR) that funded government operations at a rate generally equivalent to FY2013 post-sequestration levels through January 15, 2014. The Senate passed the amended bill by a vote of 81-18, while the House passed it 285-144. This act temporarily resolved the lapse in funding, ending the emergency furlough, returning federal employees to work, and retroactively authorizing pay for both excepted and unexcepted employees for the duration of the funding lapse. Although a handful of legislative provisions were included to extend expiring authorities for the department and provide some flexibility for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in operating under the constraints of the CR, as is usually the case with this type of legislation, account-level direction for funding was not provided, and no explanatory statement of congressional intent (such as a committee report) exists. On January 14, 2014, the House passed by voice vote H.J.Res. 106 , a short term continuing resolution, that would allow for three days of continued funding under the same terms as P.L. 113-46 . On January 15, the bill passed the Senate by a vote of 86-14, and was signed into law that same day, becoming P.L. 113-73 and preventing an additional lapse in appropriations while a consolidated appropriations act for FY2014 completed the legislative process. On January 17, 2014, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, which included annual appropriations legislation covering the entire discretionary budget for FY2014. Division F of P.L. 113-76 is the Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2014, which includes $39,270 million in adjusted net discretionary budget authority for DHS. This is $922 million more than DHS reportedly received in its annual appropriation for FY2013 after taking into account the impact of sequestration. The act also included an additional $5.6 billion requested by the Administration for FEMA in disaster relief funding as defined by the Budget Control Act, and an additional $227 million for the Coast Guard to pay the costs of overseas contingency operations. Those additional costs are compensated for by adjustments in the discretionary spending limits outlined through the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act as amended. Data used in this report for FY2013 amounts are taken from CRS analysis of H.R. 933 as enacted as the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 ( P.L. 113-6 ) and the Senate explanatory statement that accompanied it, plus the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 ( P.L. 113-2 ). Information on the FY2014 request is from the President's budget documents, the FY2014 DHS Congressional Budget Justification , and the FY2014 DHS Budget in Brief. Information on the House-passed FY2014 DHS appropriations bill is from H.R. 2217 and H.Rept. 113-91 , while information on the Senate-reported version is from H.R. 2217 (as amended) and S.Rept. 113-77 . Enacted levels are drawn from Division F of P.L. 113-76 and its accompanying explanatory statement. Historical funding data used in the appendices are taken from the Analytical Perspectives volumes of the FY2006-FY2013 budget request documents. Except when discussing total amounts for the bill as a whole, all amounts contained in this report are rounded to the nearest million. Past CRS reports on DHS appropriations have carried detailed comparisons with previous years' funding levels. However, due to the impact of sequestration on budget authority available to the federal government under P.L. 113-6 and the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 ( P.L. 113-2 ), official post-sequestration numbers are not available at the program, project, and activity level. While DHS released an FY2013 Post-Sequestration Operating Plan on April 26, 2013, which outlined funding provided as a result of P.L. 113-6 , press reports have indicated that reprogramming and transfer activity is underway to address the impact of the nearly across-the-board cut administered through the sequestration process on priority programs. Because no detailed comprehensive statement of post-sequestration resources is available with a parallel methodology to the numbers historically provided in these reports, the charts in this report contain information on pre-sequester funding levels for FY2013. In all cases, the data from P.L. 113-6 account for the two across-the-board cuts included in the general provisions of the act. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 ( P.L. 107-296 ) transferred the functions, relevant funding, and most of the personnel of 22 agencies and offices to the new Department of Homeland Security created by the act. Appropriations measures for DHS have generally been organized into five titles: Title I contains appropriations for the Office of Secretary and Executive Management (OSEM), the Office of the Under Secretary for Management (USM), the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), Analysis and Operations (A&O), and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG); and Title II contains appropriations for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Coast Guard (USCG), and the Secret Service; Title III contains appropriations for the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), Office of Health Affairs (OHA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Title IV contains appropriations for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC); and Title V contains general provisions providing various types of congressional direction to the department. The structure of the bill is not automatically symmetrical between House and Senate versions. Additional titles are sometimes added to address special issues.
