| Appendix III: Budget Functional Codes | ||
|---|---|---|
|
FINANCIAL INFORMATION Account Identification - This 11-digit budget code identifies the account from which a program is funded as expressed in the Appendix to the Federal Budget. For identification code 75-0350-0-1-551, the first two digits represent the Federal agency code, and the third through sixth digits identify the appropriation (or fund) basic account symbol assigned by the Treasury Department. Where two or more accounts with different Treasury basic account symbols are included in a consolidated program, 99 will be the third and fourth digits, the fifth digit will be the fund type and the sixth digit will reflect the sequence of consolidated programs for that fund type within the agency. The seventh digit identifies the timing of transmittal of budget estimates: 0-Regular budget schedules1-Supplemental appropriation 2-Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO 3-Appropriations language to be transmitted later 4-Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO 5-Recission proposal 6-Adjustments to 1996 continuing resolution levels The eighth digit identifies the type of government fund involved: 1-General fund General Fund Appropriation Accounts - Accounts established to record amounts appropriated by law to be expended for the general support of the Government. General Fund Receipt Accounts - Accounts credited with all receipts that are not earmarked by law for a specific purpose. 2-Special fund Special Fund Appropriation Accounts - Accounts established to record appropriated amounts of special fund receipts to be expended for special programs in accordance with specific provisions of law. Special Fund Receipt Accounts - Accounts credited with receipts from specific sources that are earmarked by law for a specific purpose. 3-Public Enterprise Fund Accounts - Funds authorized by Congress to be credited with receipts primarily from the public, that are generated by, and earmarked to finance, a continuing cycle of business-type operations. 4-Intragovernmental Revolving or Management Fund Intra-governmental Fund Accounts - Accounts established to facilitate financing transactions within and between Federal agencies. These funds may be classified as intra-governmental revolving funds or management funds. Intra-governmental Revolving Fund Accounts - Funds authorized by law to carry out a cycle of intra-governmental business-type operations. These funds are credited with offsetting collections from other agencies and accounts. 7-Trust Fund (non-revolving) - Trust funds are established to account for the receipt and expenditure of monies by the Government for carrying out specific purposes and programs in accordance with the terms of a statute that designates the fund as a trust fund (such as the Highway Trust Fund) or for carrying out the stipulations of a trust agreement (such as any of several trust funds for gifts and donations for specific purposes). In a trust non-revolving fund, the receipts designated for the trust fund are in a separate account. 8-Trust Fund (revolving) - In a trust revolving fund, the fund is credited with collections earmarked by law to carry out a cycle of business-type operations. 9-For use when account consolidations cross fund types. The last three digits represent the functional classification (code) used in the latest Federal Budget document, unless noted otherwise by the Office of Management and Budget. In cases where a program is split between two or more sub-functions: (a) if all sub-functions are in the same major function, the code is the same as for the major function; or (b) if two or more major functions are involved the digits '999' are used. Example: 75-1361-0-1-550. Listed below are major functions and sub-functions as used in the budget document to show allocations of budget authority and outlays according to end purposes without regard to agency jurisdiction. The central nature of each major function is identified and defined. Catalog programs are listed following each applicable sub-function (or major function). Note that some sub-functions are not applicable to Catalog programs. | ||
