A1: To the extent authorized by law, this estimated amount is apportioned for FY 2022. This estimated amount may be increased or decreased without further action by OMB if the actual indefinite appropriations; actual reimbursements earned, including reimbursements and offsetting collections from non-Federal/Federal sources; and actual contributions from non-Federal/Federal sources differ from the estimate. If the actual unobligated balance (excluding reimbursable funding) and actual recoveries of prior year obligations differ by more than 10 percent from the estimate in this apportionment, the agency must request a reapportionment of the account. Transfers of funds authorized by law (except for Section 102 transfers and transfers from the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve fund), to or from any of the accounts listed, may be processed without further action by OMB. Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1553(b), not to exceed one percent of the total amount appropriated is apportioned for the purpose of paying legitimate obligations related to canceled appropriations. Any of these funds that are not needed for this purpose may be used for current year obligations without further action by OMB.
