An unfunded priorities report follows the President's budget
What the document says“the Under Secretary for Management of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report on the unfunded priorities, for the Department of Homeland Security and separately for each departmental component, for which discretionary funding would be classified as budget function 050.”
Section 530(a). Within 10 days of the President's budget going to Congress, the Under Secretary for Management must report the department's unfunded priorities, for the department as a whole and for each component, in budget function 050. Subsection (b) requires each priority to carry a description, its objectives, account information and the added positions it would fund. Subsection (c) defines an unfunded priority as a requirement not funded in that budget which is needed for an operational or contingency plan and would have been recommended had more money been available.
What the document actually says“the Under Secretary for Management of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report on the unfunded priorities, for the Department of Homeland Security and separately for each departmental component, for which discretionary funding would be classified as budget function 050.”
After the President's budget goes up, a top manager must file a report. It lists needs the budget did not fund.
The list covers the whole department and each part. Each item shows what it would buy and what it would cost. The report is due within 10 days.
