The steps in the process outlined in PROCESS
may be affected by a change in administrations, as it happened for FY 2002,
which started on October 1, 2001, and ended on September 30, 2002.
 | FY 2002 involved a "transition budget"
prepared in the fall, with the full budget left to the new
President. (Click for a summary of process changes.)
 | Note the very tight deadlines this presents: The
statutory submission date for the budget is the first Monday in February (February 5,
2001). The "transition budget" (without the new Administration's
initiatives or policies) is released January 12, 2001.
|
|
| FY 2002 budget preparation was also affected by OMB's request to agencies
to "... submit an integrated Annual Performance Plan with goals based on
current services levels..." (Bulletin No. 00-04 of June 6,
2000.)
