BULLETIN NO. 71-11 June 1, 1971
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Information on agency financial management
improvement efforts
1. Purpose. This Bulletin provides an opportunity for each
agency to report on its most significant financial management
improvement activities during fiscal year 1971, and its future
plans.
2. Accomplishments and plans. The reporting of significant
accomplishments in the improvement of financial management
Systems is important and necessary for an evaluation of
improvement efforts. The identification of planned actions
for the coming fiscal year as well as a critical evaluation
of the extent to which plans for fiscal year 1971 were met
is also important. ?lanned actions should give emphasis to
those problem areas which are delaying the formal submission
and approval of accounting systems. Positive, continuing,
and aggressive action is needed to insure the development
of modern financial management systems which meet the needs
of managers at all levels for financial and related data.
3. Reporting requirements. In order to publish a more timely
report, the information obtained will be published, to the
extent possible, as submitted by the agencies. It is most
important, therefore, that the agencies submit the data in
accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Attachment.
An original and five copies are to be submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget not later than June 39, 1971.
4. Coverage. The requirements of this Bulletin are applicable
to all departments and agencies of the executive branch.

' REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
General Guidelines. Each agency should select, based on the
benefits derived, its most significant financial management
improvements that were completed during the fiscal year and
submit the report required herein in the format of the attached
Exhibit. Improvements installed during prior years, properly
identified as such, may also be included provided the resulting
operating and managerial gains were initially realized during
fiscal year 1971. In those instances where the agency report
is based on several bureau reports, the material should be
consolidated prior to submission for publication. The content
of the report is to be developed in accordance with the guide-
lines set forth below.
1. Part A, Significant Accomplishments and Future Plans.
0a. Narrative statement. Significant improvements, and
the
.,_ resulting benefits, should be set forth in a brief narra-
tive description and classified under the broad functional
headings identified in the Exhibit. Improvements involving
mechanization or automation should be included in the func-
tional area most directly related. When such improvements
do not relate to any of the classifications, the agency may
submit a report under the heading "automation." Where an
agency has no significant accomplishments under a particular
functional category, the category should not be used. Suggested
areas of improvement action which may be covered are listed
? below:
--Adoptions of cost-based budgeting practices for
presentation of budget requests.
--Actions taken or planned toward effective use of
responsibility centered cost-based operating budgets
and quantitative measures of planned performance.
Special emphasis should be given to reports that
will permit comparison of actual costs and performance
with approved plans for purposes of promoting efficiency
and cost reduction.

--Synchronization of classifications for programming,
budgeting, accounting, reporting, and control in
order to permit use of an integrated management
system for conduct of agency operations. For
agencies in which program planning and evaluation
systems are emploYed, the reports-may identify, the
progress being made in coordinating that effort with
the financial management improvement program. The'
objectives of such coordination should be to assure
that the financial systems provide an accurate and
reliable basia for associating costs with program
elements and budget classifications, and that the''
data demands of the program structure are satisfied
within the framework of a unified. management system
in the agency.
--Actions taken or planned toward installing effective
accrual accounting practices, and obtaining'Comptroller
General approval of agency accounting systems.
--Progress made toward the accounting and monthly'
reporting of accrued revenues and expenditures
consistent with the guidelines and instructions'
contained in Office of Management and Budget Bulletin
No. 68-10 and Supplement No. 1, thereto; ?the GAO
Manual; and the Treasury Fiscal Requirements Manual.
Agencies which have fully complied with these require-
ments should clearly indicate this achievement..
--Actions
--Actions taken or planned toward improvement of
financial management for grant-in-aid programs,
with particular reference to coordinating and
simplifying financial requirements imposed on
grantees.
--Actions taken or planned to increase the effective-
ness of internal auditing, including strengthening
of systems for following up on audit findings and
prompt reporting of problems to management.
--Arrangements made for improved coordination and
more efficient accomplishment of Federal audit
objectives in'grant-in-aid programs, as called for
in Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-73.
--Application of statistical sampling techniques to
financial operations, with specific identification
of actions taken or planned toward use of such
techniques in the administrative examination of
vouchers.

--Improvements in cash management, covering particularly
the use of letters of credit or other methods of
reducing cash balances held by contractors, States,
international institutions, foreign governments, or
other recipients of grants or contributions.
--Actions taken or planned in the recruitment and
? training of financial personnel in order to permit
development and effective operation of a financial
management system that conforms to requirements and
satisfies the needs of management.
b. Illustrations. Whenever possible, illustrations
demonstrating the nature and significance of the improvement
should accompany the narrative statement (graphs, photographs,
etc.).
c. Future plans. Each narrative statement should include
a description of the agency's future plans for further improve-
ments. These statements should be related to the improvement
being described and should include a realistic target date.
d. Restrictions. Because of the necessity to limit the
size of the annual report, each agency should report on only
those improvements of considerable importance. Agencies should
consult the most recent Joint Program report as to style of
presentation. Questions should be directed to the JFMIP
Executive Searetary on code 103, extension 4518; or 395-4518.
2. Part B, Status Information. This section of the report
identifies the status of agency efforts toward modernization
of accounting systems in relation to the provisions of the
Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950, as amended by
Public Law 84-863. For each agency ?in which those requirements
have not been met, the status tabulation described below will
provide firm target dates that reflect positive plans for full
compliance, and represent a realistic commitment by the agency
to attain the desired objectives within the specified time
period. In this connection, any postponement of target dates?
from those reported in last year's report of status will be
explained under "Remarks" and will include the reasons for the
slippage in schedule and the action being taken to avoid similar
problems with respect to the new target date. Footnotes with-
out target dates and entries such as "Indefinite" or "Not

planned" will not be sufficient. The status tabulatioh in the
Exhibit is to be completed by each agency as of June' 30, 1971.
a. Column (a). This will identify 'the organization,
accounting entity, or both, for which information is submitted.
The tabulation in each agency's submission is to reflect the
stub entries used for the agency in the Appendix of the published
Annual Report of the Joint Financial Management Improvement
Program for Fiscal Year 1970. The entries are to cover both
complete systems and segments of systems. If any adjustments
in the stub entries of the published tabulation are warranted
by reorganization or by other changes, the agency should
contact General Accounting Office representatives to work out
a mutually agreeable stub column for its tabulation.'
For all systems where formal approval of the documenta-
tion of the complete system in operation was obtained from the
Comptroller General prior to October 16, 1969, and the system
has not been scheduled for resubmission, enter the approval
date (month and year) in column (d) along with the notation
"CG" to indicate that the system in operation was approved by
the Comptroller General.
'?For all systems other than those approved prior to
October 16, 1969,'a two-stage submission for approval by the
Comptroller General is required.
b. Columns (b) and (c). Reflect the dates of approval,
if applicable, for each of the present two formal approval '
stages. The notation "CG" should be inserted to indicate
approval.
Specify where applicable, the date each such stage
was submitted to the Comptroller General if it has not been
formally approved or disapproved. The notation "Sub." should
be inserted to indicate'a'formal submission. '
Identify the ageney 'target dates for submission of
the respective stages to the Comptroller General, where
formal submissions have not yet been made. The notation "Tgt."
should be inserted to indicate that the date ista target for
submission.

Where previous submissions have been withdrawn by an
agency or returned as unapproved by the Comptroller General,
new target dates for resubmission of the principles and
standards and system design should be provided. For accounting
systems not legally subject to approval by the Comptroller
General, the entry "Not applicable" will be shown.
c. Column (d). Reflect the status of implementation of
the approved system design. When the agency head has determined
that the system is installed and operating as approved, insert
"In opn." and the date. IF not yet installed or fully operating
as approved, insert the target date (month and year) for com-
pletion of the installation. The notation "Tgt." should be
inserted for identification of the date as a target.
d. Remarks. Provide any necessary explanations of
the tabular entries. Such explanations should be identified,
as appropriate, with the line item in the tabulation. The
tabular entries and the supporting remarks should indicate
clearly the degree to which each organizatiOn has progressed
in developing its financial management system to meet the
requirements of the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of
1950, as amended.

TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Control of year-end buying
1. Purpose. This Bulletin, provides' policy guidance and
general Instructions on year-end buying. Its objective is
to prevent wasteful or extravagant practices' that sometimes.
arise 'during the last .60 days of the fiscal year when the
*availability of unobligated funds happens to be greater
than is necessary 'to carry 'out approved programs.
2. Polity. Government operations must be carried on in
the most effective and edonomical manner possible. Care
will be exercised at all times' in the 'ordering and.purchas-
ing of goods and services, and special attention will be
given at year-end to resist the teMptation to use up avail-
able appropriations unnecessarily.
3. General instrutticins. The following general instruc-
tions will govern the incurrente Of obligations by all
executive departments and agencies for the remainder of
this fiscal year:
a. Obligations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1971 will not exceed obligations for the third quarter; -,1
except where a higher level is fully justified to carry -
out a seasonal requirement or an essential program t rsi
objective.
b. Orders for supplies, materials, and equipment-Tor )
the balance of this fiscal year will be kept to the mini-
mum required to meet approved program needs.
c. Purchases for inventory will be managed so that
inventories are maintained at no higher than normal levels.
Generally, it would be expected that the number of weeks
of inventory supply at the end of the year would not exceed
the average end-of-month inventory for the first three
quarters of the fiscal year.
d. Additional purchase orders and contracts for
goods or services (for delivery extending into the next

fiscal year) may be entered into in cases that provide a
comparative cost advantage to the Government.
e. Employment will be held to the minimum necessary
to accomplish the job, and must be kept within the end-
of-year employment ceilings established for each agency.
4. ITplementation. To assure compliance with these gen-
eral instructions, the head of each department and agency
will be responsible for the prompt issuance of implement-
ing instructions to the contracting officers 'and other
officials authorized to incur obligations.
Exceptions to the instructions in paragraph 3 may be made
only upon determination by the agency head that the need
therefor is fully justified as being in the best interests
of the Government.

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20503
BULLETIN NO. 71-9 April 22, 1971
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Implementation of recommendations of the Joint
Agency Transportation Study
1. Purpose. This Bulletin directs the attention of all
Federal agencies to' the report of the Joint Agency Trans-
portation Study. Copies of the report ate available from
the Federal Supply Service of the .General Services Admin-
istration, Region 3 (Federal Stock Number 7610-181-7322).
The study was conducted under the sponsorship of the Joint
Financial Management Improvement Program. The report
makes recommendations intended to develop better systems
for conducting the Government's transportation business.
This Bulletin highlights the more significant recommenda-
tions of the report, indicates the Federal agency respon-
sible for the implementation of all recommendations, and
sets forth requirements for reporting implementation
progress.
2. Recommendations. The fifty-eight recommendations of
the report are included in Attachment A. Legislative pro-
posals that may be required to implement recommendations
will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
for coordination and advice in accordance with Circular
No. 19, revised, dated June 9, 1964.
Implementation of some of the recommendations in the report
would enable Federal agencies to pay transportatibn bills
more promptly. However, if implementation of a recommenda-
tion would result in payment before due (not an advance
payment), agencies should weigh the potential benefits .
against the additional financing costs to the Government
resulting from such accelerated payments.

3. Responsible agencies. The Office of Management and
Budget is responsible within the executive branch for the
overall implementation of the recommendations of the re-
port. Attachment B indicates the specific Federal agency
responsible for taking necessary action to implement each
recommendation.
4. Selected recommendations. One of the more significant
recommendations of the study, number 33, calls upon Govern-
ment agencies to review their small surface shipments, in-
cluding parcel post, to determine areas where it is more
efficient and economical to use parcel delivery services.
The report uses estimated percentages to Indicate the ex-
tent of savings potentially available to the Government by
increased use of parcel delivery services. These percent-
ages are of necessity, inexact, and, therefore, may not be
suitable for establishing shipment policies in all agencies
in all circumstances. Nevertheless, since potential savings
from increased use of parcel delivery services are so sig-
nificant, agencies should consider this mode of transporta-
tion in determining the optimal mix of transportation
services they should employ.
Another important recommendation of the study, number 7, is
that development of automatic payment procedures be vigor-
ously pursued where "freight-all-kinds" (FAK) rates are em-
ployed. The study indicates that substantial savings are
possible by using this method. General Services Adminis-
tration is studying the possibility of installing such a
system. Other agencies should study FAK and related auto-
matic payment procedures and, where determined to be more
efficient and economical, introduce these procedures into
their own operations.
Recommendation 30 is that no claim should be filed or deduc-
tions made against carriers for loss or damage below a mini-
mum amount. The Comptroller General has agreed that, until
such time as his office, the Department of Defense, and the
General Services Administration can complete a cost study,
this minimum shall be $15. Claims above $15 shall consti-
tute separate actions, as called for in recommendation 29.

Several recommendations suggest that further study should be
undertaken, or indicate that studies are now underway. The
agencies responsible for these studies are requested to re-
port the results of the studies to the Office of Management
and Budget when they are completed. This requirement is in
addition to the reports called for in paragraph 5 below. A
number of the recommendations deal with changes in forms
and changes to procedures for which the General Accounting
Office has responsibility. The General Accounting Office
has agreed to furnish the Office of Management and Budget
with periodic reports on progress in implementing these
recommendations.
5. Reports. Each agency should review Attachment B to de-
termine the recommendations for which they have responsibil-
ity. Each quarter, beginning with the one ending the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 1971, agencies will report to the
Office of Management and Budget on progress made in imple-
menting the applicable recommendations. -Reports will be
made within 30 days of the end of a quarter. Where two or
more agencies are involved in the implementing action, their
replies should be coordinated. Reports should be discontinued
when implementation is complete.
Reports should describe specific actions taken to implement
each recommendation, the extent to which implementation has
been completed, and the estimated deadline for full imple-
mentation. Reports should make reference to all recommen-
dations applicable to the agency. Where implementation
appears impractical in a given situation, or where unusual
delays are anticipated in implementation, special explana-
tion of the circumstances surrounding these situations
should be given.

accordance with the following:

reductions shown on lines A2 and A3.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/07/17: CIA-RDP06M00944R000200050002-9
the letter from the Office of Management and Budget
setting forth the Presidentially approved 1972 budget
allowances, known as the "allowance letter." The September
30, 1971, and June 30, 1972, reports will focus on
actions directed towards reaching the approved obli-
gation level approved for fiscal year 1972. Enter (as
indicated) the fiscal year applicable for each report.
Line l'. ? Enter the amount of the approved obligation level
for public relations activities for the designated fiscal
year as specified in the "allowance letter."

year through the end of the reporting period.

for the last report of a fiscal year.
Line 5. Enter the obligations incurred during the last
month of the reporting period. No entry is required for
the last report of a fiscal year.
Section C. Explanatory narrative.
In cases where the amount of obligations incurred during
the last month of the reporting period (line )35) exceeds
the average rate of monthly obligations available for future
months (line B4), identify the actions planned to make the
necessary reductions to reach the approved level.
In cases where line B3 is a negative number, reasons must
be furnished for exceeding the public relations allowances.
This narrative should also be used to identify and discuss
briefly each significant action (with a dollar measure
of the resulting savings) taken to reach the approved levels
of obligations specified in the "allowance letter." In
particular, agencies should identify specific public re-

BULLETIN NO. 71-5 February 19, 1971
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: 1972 increased pay costs
1. Purpl
io e. This Bulletin provides instructions for sub-
missn o a summary of the estimated 1972 increased pay
costs of:
a. Civilian personnel pay increases effective in.JanuarY
1971,. under Executive 'Order 11576, which was issued-pursuant
to Public Law 91-656, and comparable increases granted by
administrative action; and
? ' b. Military personnel pay increases effective in January
1971, under Executive Order 11577, which was issued-pursuant
to Public Law 90-207..
The information submitted will serve as the agency .request
.for amendments 'to the 1972 Budget for these .additional-pay
costs. Amendments to the 1972 Budget for wage- board-or
other pay increases not related to the Executive orders
specified above will not be requested at this time.
2. Requirements: Eadh agency is requested to submit a sum-
mary of the eiaMated 1972 increased pay costs listed above
by March 5, 1971, in accordance with the instructions pro-
vided in Attachment A. A short narrative'explanation,of
the methods used in computing the increased pay costs should
accompany the summary, along with any change in appropriation
or limitation language, if required. Upon request, agencies
will be required to provide a full analysis and backup of
the summary data submitted.
3. Policy. The following policies will apply:
a. Basis for estimates. The amount of the 1972 pay
increase costs specified above will be computed on the basis
of program levels as contemplated by the costs and.obliga-
tions shown in the 1972 Budget Appendix.
In calculating the amount of the budget amendment to be
requested, consideration should be given to the additional

payments for increased pay costs required to be made to other
agencies or accounts for work being done on a reimbutiale
basis, as well as offsets to increased pay costs derived from
advances and reimbursements from other agencies or accounts.
Appropriations should not be required for revolving and
management funds (inclaing consolidated working funds), since
the increased pay costs for such funds should be completely
covered by increased reimbursements and receipts.
b. Absorption. No, estimate of absorption of these
increased pay costs is required at this time. Present plans
call for the later issuance of further instructions with
regard to absorption of the increased pay costs to be
incurred in 1972 (including increases which, may be put: into
effect during the last half of that fiscal year).
4. Agency justifications of 1972 requests. Each agency will
be notified by the Office of ManagemerinTd Budget as soon
as. practicable of its portion of the budget :amendment Which
the President will transmit to Congress for these pay costs.
After such transmittal, budget justifications for committees
of Congress should be based upon the amended recommendations. 0
Prior to' that time, justifications: and testimony should be
directed toward the unamended amount.

Bulletin No. 71-5
SUMMARY OF 1972 INCREASED PAY COSTS
Each agency is requested to submit a summary of 1972
increased pay costs resulting from the items .specified in
paragraph.l.of.this Bulletin. This summary will be in the
form illustrated by Exhibit 1,..and.wil.1 be accompanied. by the
?narrative.explanation and appropriation language required in
paragraph 2 of this Bulletin. Agency submission of the
requiredsummary will be mode by March 5, 1971, in an original
.and.,tWo.copies..
? ,
For purposes of this summary, allocation accounts (transfer
appropriation accounts) will be reported with the parent
account rather than with the receiving agency. It is there-
fore necessary that each agency receiving an allocation furnish
to the agency responsible for the parent account the data
necessary. to prepare the report. Unless otherwise arranged
between the agencies concerned, the information should be
furnished to the parent agency by February. 26, 1971.
In the case of advances and reimbursements paid into revolving
and management funds (including consolidated working funds)
and appropriation accounts, the associated increase in
advances and reimbursements will be deducted from the increase
in direct pay and related costs in the account of the
receiving agency in arriving at its budget amendment request.
This may be done without the necessity of clearance with the
paying agency. Similarly, the agency making the advance or
reimbursement will add the associated increase to the
increased direct pay and related cost for its account in
arriving at its budget amendment request.
The summary will be prepared on 8" X 10-1/2" paper, as des-
cribed below. Each account affected by the specified pay
increases will be listed and the amount applicable to each
account will be shown, with the total for all listed accounts
provided as indicated in Exhibit 1.
Column 1. List the page number in the 1972 Budget Appendix
on which can be found the account or fund listedin column 2.
Column 2. List under each bureau or organizational unit to
which separate appropriations or funds are available, the
title of each appropriation or fund account (other than
allocations from other agencies) which is affected by the
O specified pay increases. These will include revolving and
management funds (including consolidated working funds) and

trust funds. Account titles will be listed in the order in
which they appear in the budget.
Column 3. Show the amount requested in the 1972 Budget for
the account or fund listed in column 2. This will be the
amount shown in the appropriation language as proposed in
the 1972 Budget Appendix. Where an administrative expenses
limitation is shown in the 1972 Budget Appendix, the amount
of the limitation will be shown in parentheses as a non-add
entry.
Column 4. Identify the proposed 1972 budget amendment for
the account or fund shown in column 2. Additional appropria-
tions required will be the sum of the following:
a. The increased direct pay and related costs to the
account;
b. Plus any increased payments or reimbursements required
to other accounts;
c. Minus any increased payments or reimbursements from
other accounts.
Where an increase in an administrative expenses limitation is
required, the amount of the increase will be shown in paren-
theses as a non-add entry and identified with the symbol,
"(A)". Where a waiver of a limitation .on personal services
is required, the amount shown in this column will be identi-
fied with the symbol "(W)".
Amounts requested and shown in this column should be in round,
thousands, i.e., if the above calculation comes to $34,231, ?
the amount to be shown should be $34,000.
Column 5. Enter the sum of columns 3 and 4.

BULLETIN NO. 71-4, SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 February 5, 1971
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Increased pay costs
1. Purpose. This Supplement amends instructions in
Bulletin No. 71-4 (dated November 16, 1970) and its
Supplement No. 1 (dated November 27, 1970), which required
submission of an analysis of fiscal year 1971 increased pay
costs. Specifically, this Supplement No. 2 requires sub-
mission of information which will serve as the agency request
for 1971 supplemental appropriations for the additional pay
costs identified below.
2. Application. The analysis required under this Supple-
ment No. 2 will cover the costs of:
a. Civilian personnel pay increases effective in
January 1971, under Executive Order 11576, which was issued
pursuant to Public Law 91-656, and comparable increases granted
by administrative action;
b. Military personnel pay increases effective in
January 1971, under Executive Order 11577, which was issued
pursuant to Public Law 90-207; and
c. Wage board pay increases under 5 USC 5341 (c)
(commonly called the Monroney Amendment), effective in
October 1968, as implemented in November 1970 by Civil Service
Commission Bulletin Nos. 532-9 and 532-10.
3. Revirements. Each agency is requested to submit an
analysis of the increased pay costs listed above by February 26,
1971, in an original and two copies, in the format prescribed
in Exhibit 1. This due date must be met so that the necessary
amounts may be included in the iT71 pay supplemental request
to be submitted to the Congress. A short narrative explana-
tion of the methods used in computing the increased pay costs
should accompany the analysis.
4. Basis of estimates. Statutory civilian, military, and
administrative pay system increased pay costs for 1971 will

be calculated on the basis of rates in Executive Orders
11576 and 11577 and comparable rates authorized by
appropriate officials for administrative pay systems.
Estimates of wage board increased pay costs under the
Monroney Amendment will be based upon the best information
available to the agency, with consideration being given
to the following facts and assumptions:
a. In certain wage board areas, lead agencies have
already established pay schedules on the basis of the
Monroney Amendment. In these cases, where amounts for
1969 and 1970 have already been paid, the actual costs will
be reported. Where estimates for 1969, 1970, and-1971.are
necessary, costs will be determined for each fiscal year
by relating the average increase for the area to the number
of agency wage board employees in the area.
b. In areas where Monroney Amendment pay schedules have
not yet been established, agencies will use such informa-
tion as is available as a basis for estimating these increased
pay costs. In many areas, pay adjustments under 5 USC 5341 (c)
are not anticipated. For example, of the areas where the
Department of Defense is the lead agency, it is anticipated
that increases will most likely occur only in the areas listed
in Attachment A (that Attachment also provides instructions
on estimating the increased 1969,.1970, and 1971 pay costs
for those areas). Pay adjustments are also not expected in
large urban areas where the Federal Government is not a
principal employer of blue collar workers.
?
5. Policies on absorption, sueplemental requests, and the
charging of costs. Agencies will absorb the costs of these
increases to the fullest extent possible. Pay supplementals
should be proposed only in cases where the head of the agency
has determined, by personal review, that full absorption
is not possible.
In the case of the Monroney Amendment, wage board cdsts
relating to prior year expired accounts should be absorbed
by restorations of amounts previously lapsed in the account
to which the costs would relate (i.e., the 1969 and 1970
accounts). The absorption will be given effect at the end
of fiscal year 1971, when prior year restorations or with-
drawals are made under 31 USC 701-708.1/ Care should be
1/ For these 1969 and 1970 expired accounts, the amounts
reported in column 5 of the analysis (see paragraph. 6,
below), will be the Monroney Amendment portion of the
net amount reported to Treasury for the restorations
or withdrawals to take place on June 30, 1971.

taken to make provision for other adjustments to obligations
which will affect the amounts available for restoration in
prior year accounts. All other anticipated adjustments
should be given effect before attempting to absorb costs of
the Monroney Amendment.
The 1971 increased pay cost due to the Monroney Amendment
will depend on the extent to which increases already provided
for or anticipated (and included in agency estimates in the
1972 Budget) have accomplished the adjustments required
under 5 USC 5341 (c). 1971 amounts already reported in the
analysis submitted under Bulletin No. 71-4 and Supplement
No. 1 should not be included in the analysis required by this
Supplement No. 2.
To the extent that amounts relating to current as well as
expired accounts cannot be absorbed, a pay supplemental
should be requested. Appropriation language will be
proposed by the Office of Management and Budget in the
1971 pay supplemental which will provide that obligations
for the 1969 and 1970 unabsorbed pay costs under the Monroney
O Amendment may be considered as 1971 obligations. Thus, the
1971 pay supplemental will permit coverage of these unabsorbed
increased pay costs for all three years, and such costs should
? be charged to the account current in 1971.
Provision should be made for the three year costs of the
Monroney Amendment as well as the one year costs of Public
Laws 91-656 and 90-207 within the agency outlay ceilings
established in accordance with Office of Management and
Budget Bulletin No. 71-2, August 14, 1970.
6. Preparation of required analysis. In preparing the
analysis calledor by this Supplement No. 2 (see Exhibit 1),
the instructions in Bulletin No. 71-4 will generally apply
to the information to be provided in each column. Addi-
tional instructions for the analysis are as follows:
a. For each account listed in column 1 which has
Monroney Amendment wage board costs (which were not
covered in the analysis previously furnished under Bulletin
No. 71-4 and its Supplement No. 1), a separate stub entry
will be shown for the additional wage board costs for
fiscal years 1971, 1970 and 1969. For one-year or
expired accounts, the amounts applicable to each year will
be shown in columns 2 through 8. For no-year or unexpired
multiple year accounts, amounts applicable to each year
will be shown in columns 2 through 4, but the amounts will
be shown in the aggregate in columns 5 through 8.

DETERMINATION OF MONRONEY AMENDMENT COSTS
Preliminary studies by the Department of Defense indicate
that of those wage board areas where that Department has been
designated the lead agency for purposes of wage determinations,
only those areas identified below are anticipated to be
affected by the Monroney Amendment.
The first grouping (under "Areas affected") identifies those
wage areas where determinations have already been made .and
where schedules are available. In the columns to the right
of each listed area is shown the number of months in eadh
fiscal year in which the revised wage board pay schedules for
1969, 1970, and 1971 are to be effective for%that area.
The second grouping (under "Areas anticipated to. bp affeeted")
identifies those areas where it is antiCipated that-increases
due to the Monroney Amendment will result from studies which
are not yet made or completed. The anticipated monthly .]
coverage of the 1969,.1970, and 1971 pay tales is shown..
Based upon the experience of the Department of Defense in the
nine areas where revised wage schedules Are currently
available, the average annualized effect of the Monroney
Amendment upon the 1969 pay costs is an increase of $410 per
employee. The similar annualized cost of the Monroney Amend-
ment for the fiscal years 1970 and 1971, respectively, is
$400:1/ These figures may be used as a basis for estimating
such wage board increased costs for the areas shown on the
list. For those areas where the Department of Defense is
not the lead agency, other sources of information will have
to be used for estimating the increased costs attributable
to the Monroney Amendment.
1/ These figures are to determine the.annual.costs of the
Monroney Amendment and are not additive to scales
from one year to the next, 376.,. the estimated increased
cost per employee in the areas shown for fiscal year
1971 is $400, not $1,210.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Legislative Liaison Officers
SUBJECT: OMB Bulletin No. 71-3, instructions
pertaining to environmental impact
statements
Enclosed for your information and use are copies of the
recent OMB Bulletin No. 71-3, which deals with the use
of existing review mechanisms in the preparation and
submission of the environmental impact statements required
under section 102(2)(c) of Public Law 91-190, the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. As you are aware, the
Council on Environmental Aglity has issued interim guide-
lines to the agencies for tMe overall implementation of
this statutory requirement.
I invite your attention, in partidular, to part 2(a) of
Bulletin No. 71-3, wherein the procedures to be followed
with respect to legislation are set forth. As you will
note, our objective is to use the existing legislative
clearance process to the extent possible in the circu-
lation of proposed environmental impact statements.
Any comments or questions you may have concerning these
procedures should be brought to the attention of the
staff of the OMB's Legislative Reference Division.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20509
BULLETIN NO. 71-3 August 31; 1970
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Proposed Federal actions affecting the
environment
1. Purpose. This Bulletin establishes interim procedures
to be followed by Federal agencies in taking or proposing
certain actions coming within the scope of Section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public
Law 91-190). Section 102(2)(C) requires that; in connection
with recommendations or reports on proposals for legis-
lation and other major Federal actions significantly affect-
ing the quality of the human environment, Federal agencies
shall prepare detailed statements concerning aspects of
the environmental impact of the actions. Such statements
are to be prepared after consultation with, and receipt of
comments from, appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies. The Council on Environmental Quality has issued
interim guidelines to agencies for implementation of this
statutory requirement (35 F.R. 7390-7393). The guidelines
provide detailed instructions for the preparation and con-
tent of environmental impact statements. The interim
guidelines also refer to the issuance of these instructions
by the Office of Management and Budget to provide for the
utilization of existing review mechanisms for certain kinds
of actions.
Based on the experience gained from the use of this Bulletin,
Office of Management and Budget directives may be revised
as appropriate.
2. Requirements.
a. Legislation. Each agency is responsible for
identifying those of its legislative proposals, or favorable
reports on bills on which it is the principal agency con-.
cerned, that would require the preparation of the statements
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/07/17: CIA-RDP06M00944R000200050002-9
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/07/17: CIA-RDP06M00944R000200050002-9

and receipt of the comments required under Section 102(2)(c).
When there is doubt as to which is the principal agency con-
'aerned, agencies shall consult with the office of Management
and Budget's Legislative Reference Division.
The proposed Section 102(2)(C) statements and the required
comments shall accompany legislative proposals and reports
when these are sent to the Office of Management and Budget
for clearance. At the same time, copies of this material
shall be furnished directly to the council on Environmental
Quality for its information. As part of the normal clearance
process, the Office of Management and Budget will circulate
the proposed statements along with the proposals or reports
to appropriate Federal agencies, and will consult with the
Council on Environmental Quality. In certain cases, the
clearance process may disclose the need for a Section 102(2)(C)
statement where none has been prepared; in this event, the
Office of Management and Budget staff will request the appro-
priate agency to develop and submit such a statement;
After differences with other agencies over the legislative
proposal or report have been resolved, and after the legis-
lative proposal or report has been cleared by the Office of
Management and Budget, the originating agency shall put the
Section 102(2)(C) statement in final form (including such
comments and views of the appropriate Federal, State, and
local agencies as are pertinent). The final statement and
comments shall accompany the proposal or report to the
Congress as supporting material. Copies of this final
material shall be furnished directly to the Council on
Environmental Quality.
b. Annual budget estimates. For those agencies having
major program actions with significant impact on the human
environment, annual budget estimates shall be accompanied
by a special summary statement explaining generally the en-
vironmental impact expected to result from those activities
and programs. In the case of programs for which it is not
possible to make an assessment of the potential impact on
specific areas of the environment, special summary state-
ments shall include relevant information about general

environmental impact and alternatives, and, to the extent
possible, important environmental problems that may be
caused by proposed actions but which still must be assessed
as plans for programs and activities are further refined.
The special summary statement shall also include, in the
form illustrated in Exhibit 1, the following information
by appropriation or fund account:
. Column A - Action, project, or activity. Identify
the agency actions and individual projects and activities,
and the amounts of funds involved, that are considered
subject to Section 102(2)(C). Where the action is a part
of a larger activity, identify only the project or action
subject to Section 102(2)(C) and the amount involved.
? Column B - Final statement completed. Check the
appropriate category. If there are significant unresolved
issues with other agencies, include a copy of the statement
with the submission to the Office of Management and Budget.
Column C - Statement being prepared. Give the status
(e.g., awaiting signature of the Secretary) and estimated
completion date.
Agencies that prepare Section 102(2)(C) statements for annual
authorizing legislation shall submit the proposed section
102(2)(C) statements in lieu of a special summary statement
required by paragraph 2b above, except that the information
required for the special summary exhibit shall be submitted
along with the proposed section 102(2)(C) statement. Copies
of the special summary statement or proposed Section 102(2)
.(C) statement (accompanied by information for the special
summary exhibit) shall be furnished directly to the Council
on Environmental Quality.
. c. Water resource project reports. Project reports
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to
Executive Orders Nos. 9384 and 10654 often involve proposed
? actions that may require application of the Section 102(2)(C)
procedures.

In such cases, the section: 102(2)(C) statement shall accompany
the project report'when.the latter is referred for comments
to Interested Federal, State, and local agencies. The state-
ment and the comments thereon shall accompany the project
report when submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
for review.
If planning on current projects is so far advanced that con-
forming with standard procedures in connection-with Section
102(2)(C) would cause major problems, the agencies shall
consult with the Natural Resources Programs Division to
determine whether appropriate modifications of the procedures
should be arranged.
All project reports on projects that are considered subject
to Section 102(2)(C) procedures received after adjournment
of the present session of the Congress will be returned to
the proposing agency if the Section 102(2)(C) procedures
have not been completed at the time of submission.
3. Review of Federal actions by State and local governments.
As a part of the preparation of environmental impact state-
ments, Section 102(2)(c) requires agencies to include the
comments and views of the appropriate Federal, State, and
local agencies which are authorized to develop and enforce
environmental standards. The interim guidelines issued by
the Council on Environmental Quality (35 F.R. 7390-7393)
establish the procedures to be followed in obtaining Federal,
State, and local review of proposed actions subject to Section
102(2)(C). In certain cases in obtaining State and Local
review of major Federal actions having impact on a specific
locality, it will be appropriate for agencies to follow the
procedures established in the Office of Management and Budget
Circular No. A-95.
Pursuant to Part I ,of Circular No. A-95, a network of State,
metropolitan and regional (non-metropolitan) clearinghouses
has been established. These clearinghouses serve as review
agencies for proposed Federal and federally supported develop-
ment projects (including the acquisition, use and disposal of

Federal real property) and applications for Federal assist-
ance under a wide variety of Federal programs. These reviews
are concerned with the consistency of proposed projects with
State, regional, and local plans and programs; with consider-
ation of certain other factors,. including development and
conservation of natural resources, protection of areas of
unique natural beauty, historical, or scientific interest;
and with maintenance of high standards of design.
In the case of direct Federal development projects and
projects assisted under programs listed in Attachment D of
Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-95, Federal
agencies will utilize these clearinghouses in obtaining the
views of state and local agencies required under Section
102(2)(c) procedures. In most cases the agency operating
the clearinghouse function will not itself have the environ-
mental responsibilities but will be utilized to obtain the
required information from appropriate state or local agencies.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20509
CI
BULLETIN NO. 71-2 August 14, 1970
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Control of outlays during fiscal year 1971
1. Purpose. This Bulletin provides instructions for control-
ling the outlays of the Federal Government pursuant to Title V
of Public Law 91-305, enacted July 6, 1970. (See Attachment A
for the text of Title V.)
2. Outlay limitation. Title V of Public Law 91-305 imposes
a Government-wide limitation on outlays (expenditures and net
lending) for the fiscal year 1971. This is the so-called
"spending ceiling" imposed by Congress. This limitation allows
adjustments to be made for congressional action or inaction on
the 1971 outlay estimates in the February budget, for other
congressional action, and (to a limited degree) for changes
in those uncontrollable items specified in Section 501(b) of
the statute.
In consideration of the restrictive fiscal policies we must
use for the 1972 Budget, agency heads must be asked to take
all necessary actions to reduce 1971 outlays to the lowest
possible levels consistent with Presidential policies and
legal requirements.
3. Administration of the limitation. To permit the Government
to operate effectively within the Government-wide statutory
limitation, the Office of Management and Budget will furnish
each executive department and agency a tentative ceiling on
outlays for 1971. This ceiling will include amounts for
increased pay costs in 1971 for Federal civilianemployees
under Public Law 91-231, and for military personnel under
Public Law 90-207; but will exclude amounts for (a) any other
effects of congressional action oron the President's
budget requests, (b) the effect on budget outlays of other
actions by the Congress (whether initiated by the President
or the Congress), and (c) the uncontrollable items specified
in Section 501(b) of Public Law 91-305. Beyond the latter
exclusion, the tentative ceiling will cover all appropriations
and funds administered by the department or agency (except
deposit funds). Information on the coverage of the ceiling
assigned to each agency may be obtained from the Office of
Management and Budget through the program division which
reviews the agency budget.

These agency ceilings will be reviewed later in connection
with formulation of the 1972 Budget. At that time they will
be revised to reflect the outlay effects of final congres-
sional action or inaction during the Second Session of the
91st Congress, and to take account of Presidential guidance.
As indicated above, amounts for the uncontrollable items
designated in Section 501(b) of the statute will be handled
separately (and not included in the agency outlay ceilings).
Staff of the Office of Management and Budget will estimate and
reestimate changes in these items as they occur. To facilitate
this process, individual agencies may be asked from time to
time to submit information on those uncontrollable items with
which they are concerned. It is clear, however, that to the
extent that changes in these items on a Government-wide basis
exceed the allowable $4.5 billion specified in Section 501(b)
of Public Law 91-305, offsetting decreases will have to be
made in other more controllable programs.
4. Action by the agency. Each agency will:
a. Upon receipt of the tentative ceiling, prepare and
maintain on a current basis a plan of estimated outlays by
month, based on that outlay ceiling. The plan should be in
sufficient detail to permit a comprehensive analysis of
changes in programs covered by the ceiling. For agency con-
trol purposes, it should also identify separately the
designated items in Section 501(b) of Public Law 91-305.
For the purpose of assuring that the assigned outlay
ceilings are not exceeded, the plan of estimated monthly
outlays in each agency should be maintained in such a way
as to7kermit financial managers to monitor outlays effectively
and to control obligations and commitments for that purpose.
This could include setting monthly outlay targets for
/, responsible subordinate officials or organizations (in
addition to the establishment of allotments of obligating
authority under the agency administrative control of funds
system); and should provide for reports that measure actual
outlays against outlay targets and obligations incurred.
Such financial control practices could enable each agency head
to keep abreast of the trend of agency outlays more effectively,
so that he can adjust obligation allotments and outlay targets
as necessary to remain within his assigned outlay ceiling.
The Office of Management and Budget will request
submission of the current agency outlay plan as required--along
with explanations of deviations from the plan, and the related
actions taken to strengthen agency outlay control practices.

b. Tentatively reduce the assigned outlay ceiling (as
defined in paragraph 3) whenever congressional action on a
program covered by the ceiling results in a reduction from
the amounts included in the assigned ceiling; and tentatively
increase the ceiling (but only after approval of the applicable
apportionment request) when congressional action on such pro-
grams will result in increased outlays over the amounts
included in the assigned ceiling. These tentative changes
will be reviewed during the formulation of the 1972 Budget.
Each agency will provide promptly information on such
changes to the Office of Management and Budget. This will
facilitate reporting to the Congress on the operation of
Title V of Public Law 91-305. The information will be prepared
in accordance with the instructions in Attachment B and in the
format of Exhibit 1.
c. Submit apportionment and reapportionment requests in
accordance with the instructions contained in Circular No. A-34,
and in such amounts as to assure that the agency will keep
within its 1971 outlay ceiling. Amounts that must be withheld
from obligation in order to meet the agency outlay ceiling
will be shown as reserves. When requested by the Office of
Management and Budget, apportionment and reapportionment forms
(:) (Standard Form 132) will also be required for selected trust
funds and other funds which are now exempt from apportionment
under Circular No. A-34.
5. Policies. The following policies will be observed:
a. Agency programs will be managed in such a manner as to
promote maximum utilization of staffing and other resources.
Increases in productivity will be sought in all areas. Activi-
ties which are only marginally effective will be eliminated.
Evaluation of ongoing programs should be maintained on a con-
tinuing basis, and must be of such a nature as to provide agency
management with the ability to discontinue or cut back ineffi-
cient, ineffective, or low priority operations, and to
reallocate the resources to improve other, more effective
activities.
b. For record-keeping purposes, agency outlay ceilings
will include outlays under special foreign currency program
appropriations. However, since these outlays are offset
elsewhere in the budget and do not affect total Government
outlays, the agency plan to stay within its outlay ceiling will
not include reductions in these accounts.

c. Interagency and interfund payments will not be delayed,
nor will collections be speeded up for the purpose of operating
within established ceilings. All such payments and collections
should be made on a normal schedule consistent with usual
practices.
d. Payments of salary or other withholdings into deposit
funds will not be deferred to keep within outlay ceilings.
e. Delays in payments to outside payees will be avoided.
On the other hand, authorized advance payments to grantees and
contractors should be held down to the maximum feasible extent.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING THE "REPORT ON ACTIONS
AFFECTING THE AGENCY OUTLAY CEILINGS UNDER PUBLIC LAW 91-305"
(Exhibit 1)
This report will contain information on the effect of completed
congressional action or inaction on agency outlay ceilings
imposed under the Government-wide statutory limitation for 1971.
Line 1. Enter the amounts called for in each column as
reflected in the tentative 1971 outlay ceiling
received from the Office of Management and Budget.
Line 2. For all programs covered by the agency outlay ceiling,
enter the changes resulting from congressional
inaction or from completed congressional action.
As a general rule the submission of information on
congressional inaction on legislative proposals other
than appropriations will be deferred until the report
that is due after the adjournment of this session of
Congress.
In contrast, each monthly report should reflect the
results of completed congressional action on appropria-
tion items and on other legislation which causes a
change in amount. Specifically, the outlay effect of
the following will be reported after final action by
the Congress:
(1) changes in appropriation bills;
(2) changes in substantive acts which provide
budget authority without subsequent appropriation
action; and
(3) changes in acts which make subsequent
appropriations and outlays mandatory.
The amount shown on line 2a will be the net total of
the effect on outlays and offsetting receipts of all
actions or inactions reported in previous monthly
reports; there will, therefore, be no entries on
this line for the first report.

In the first report, the net total of the changes that
occurred to date will be identified on line 2b. (In
subsequent reports, that line will show changes occurring
since the last report.) In either case, this entry will
be supported by a listing of the appropriation items
in which changes occurred because of completed congres-
sional action. Where the outlay effect of the congres-
sional change is significant, the appropriation item
will be listed separately; the remaining appropriation
items in which there were minor congressional changes
may be grouped under an entry "Other." If this listing
would cause the report to exceed one page, provide the
listing on an attachment. Whenever the rationale for
the estimates or reestimates for items on line 2b would
not be entirely clear from the report itself, attach
a brief explanation.
Line 3. Enter the sum of lines 1 and 2.
NOTE: The column for "Offsetting receipts and intragovernmental
transactions" will exclude loan collections deposited to miscel-
laneous receipts. The latter will be netted in the columns for
"Federal funds" and "Trust funds," as appropriate, in the same
manner as in Part 5 of the 1971 Budget.
Due date. These reports will be prepared in 3 copies, and
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget by September 16,
1970, and by the 16th of each succeeding month. Each report
will cover actions through the 12th of the month for which the
report is made. If no change has taken place, a written report
to that effect will still be required.

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20503
BULLETIN NO. 71-1 July 20, 1970
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT: Excess foreign currencies
1. Excess currencies. The Treasury Department has deter-
mined that our supply of currencies of the following countries
is excess to our normal requirements for fiscal years 1971
and 1972:
Burma Israel Poland
Guinea Morocco Tunisia
India Pakistan U.A.R. (Egypt)
Yugoslavia
During fiscal year 1971, special foreign currency program
appropriations will be available for incurring obligations
payable in these currencies. '
Special Foreign Currency Programs in Israel
The limited availability of excess Israeli currency for
special foreign currency programs requires continued restraint.
Therefore, obligations under these programs may only be made
within ceilings established by the Office of Management and
Budget.
In the interim, controls over obligations incurred under
special foreign currency programs payable in Israeli currency,
which are included in 1970 apportionments, will continue
in effect.
2. Near excess currencies. The supply of local currencies
available for U.S. programs in the following countries is
above our immediate needs, but in no case sufficient to be
declared excess:
Ceylon Indonesia
Ghana Sudan

3. Utilization of excess and near excess foreign currencies.
Full utilization of these currencies in lieu of U.S. dollars
must still be an objective of every agency with transactions
in the respective countries. Consistent with our.interna-
tional agreements, travelers must insure that transportation
and foreign subsistence expenses when going to, through, or
from an excess or near excess currency country are paid in r.
those currencies. Obligation documents for grants or for
regular program expenses in?those countries should specify -1
that payment is to be made in the local currencies.
Agenciesishould encourage non-government organizations, with
which they have sponsorship arrangements, to obtain their
local currency requirements from U.S. Government -- either
through local accommodation exchanges or through the Treasury
Department in Washington, D.C.
A.
Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-20 describes
the policies and procedures for the use of excess and near
excess foreign currencies. Department of State Foreign
Currency Bulletins give further details as to the locations
of accommodation exchangest.many helpful suggestions on -nu-
arranging forisuch travel, and the latest information concern-
ing those countries which limit the use of the currencies
for payment of travel expenses.
