List of Level 1, Level 2 and Processes
Level 1 Level 1 Description Level 2 Level 2 Description Process Process Description
Distribute and Manage Budget Distribute Budget is the process of establishing legal budgetary limitations within the agency including appropriation warrants, apportionments, continuing resolutions, allocation and allotment of funding. This also includes monitoring of resources and control of validations prior to approval of commitments, obligations, entitlements and expenditures, obtaining permission to reallocate funds outside the organization's execution authority, requesting additional funds for new requirements, budget reallocation and distribution notifications, budget reallocations, budget rescissions and additional funding distributions. This process also includes posting the budgetary transactions to the General Ledger for financial visibility, funds control, and reporting.        
    Execute Apportionment and Allocate Funds This process establishes the budget authority and distribution of funds to appropriate services and agencies as the beginning of the execution process. This process records an agency's budgetary resources and supports the establishment of legal budgetary limitations within the agency, including appropriation warrants, apportionments, reapportionments, transfer allocations, and continuing resolutions. It also supports the establishment of funding to agencies that are not subject to apportionment.    
        Analyze Apportionment In this process, the responsible DoD Comptroller reviews the apportionment request document data, evaluates request alternatives and determines the degree apportionment categories and fiscal amounts requested are properly justified, and fiscally reasonable, in terms of adequately fiscally supporting the operations planned for the appropriation period.
        Analyze Appropriation and General Provisions Enacted appropriations received are reviewed regarding the purpose, scope and limitations of specific "Sections of the Act" as well as the general provisions incorporated. The review entails a determination of the extent the terms, conditions and provisions of the act can be individually or severally applied, including designated transfer limitations and restrictions as well as further distributions to components and agencies involved. These designations are referred to as "spreading the provisions to the components".
        Apply Changes Adjustments deemed required are applied to the apportionment request and a notification of adjustment(s) coordinated or sent to the requesting component(s).
        Create Program and Funding Document A DoD Program and Funding Document (PDF), e.g., DD2276A/DoD1556, is prepared, authorized and distributed to designated recipients of budget authority for the apportionment period. The Document represents the authoritative event for allocating budget authority from the approved apportionment.
        Distribute Program and Funding Document Automatic electronic distribution of the PDF, together with a chronology and accounting for the number and control amounts included in PDF distributions made, is maintained to support tracking of the unallocated and distributed funding and distributions.
        Generate Budgetary Resources Pro Forma Entries Generate the appropriate pro forma entries to record the financial impact of receiving budgetary resources. The pro forma entries will provide the general ledger account updates (debits or credits to proprietary, budgetary, or memorandum accounts).
        Prepare DoD Apportionment Request for Submission Final preparation of the SF 132 Apportionment Request for submission to the OMB requires examination, validation and justification of the provisions of the request. For example, the specific funding categories requested need to be evaluated in terms of the net amount of budget authority to be realized and needed to support operations for the apportionment period.
        Receive Budgetary Resources Receive budgetary resources that will allow DoD the ability to spend federal funds. Budgetary resources includes appropriated and non-appropriated funds.
        Submit Apportionment Request to OMB Finalization of the apportionment request must include reconciliation and agreement of the Request categories to ensure compliance with like provisions authorized within the enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the period. The Request submitted must indicate compliance with both the Appropriation Act and provisions of the NDAA. The authorized apportionment request data are then used to populate the program and budget authority data bases of the designated Components.
        Update Program and Funds Information Both program plans, e.g., POM/PCP data, and the budget authority apportionment request, e.g., SF 132 data, are updated with adjustments made regarding a component's apportionment request.
    Execute Continuing Resolution This process focuses on identifying amounts available and additional authority request for distribution under the Continuing Resolution Act.    
        Calculate Amount Available The CRA period in terms of days anticipated for the CRA period to maintain the expenditure rate projections and amounts.
        Capture Continuing Resolution Act Estimate CRA projections are collected from the Components/Agencies and aggregated for the Department (as well as maintained separately by the Components), in anticipation of a Congressional CRA enactment. The projections are adjusted to comply with OMB CRA guidance and provisions of a CRA as well as after enactment of the Appropriation Act.
        Capture Continuing Resolution Adjusted Amount Additional budget, contract or borrowing authority requested and enacted is represented by the adjusted Continuing Resolution amount received indicating the authorized amounts received by the designated Agency or Department and the fund account balance established for expenditures against the authority received.
        Formalize Continuing Resolution Act Baseline A baseline is established of budget authority anticipated to meet outstanding obligations according to a projected rate of expenditure for a presumed CRA period, The base is used to maintain adjustments to authorized events as they occur and provide expenditure control during a CRA period.
        Formulate Additional Authority Request to OMB Formulation of a request for additional budget authority entails estimating the amounts to be carried forward from prior periods, new funding for meeting steady state operations and justification for additional funding to meet new or updated requirements, at stipulated rates or rates prescribed by authoritative guidance.
        Interpret OMB Bulletin Guidance received from OMB is used to calculate amounts and rates of budget authority required and expenditure limitations A baseline is created for applying adjustments to the CRA projections; The adjustments are coordinated among the Components and the OSD(C) for maintaining projections of budget authority and unliquidated obligational authority, in terms of current year end amounts and carry-forwards and for tracking actual expenditures against the projections during a CRA period.
        Prepare Request for Continuing Resolution Act Estimates Guidance is issued from the OSD? and requests made for expenditure projections under a presumed period of continuing resolution, in accordance with OMB Circular A-11, DoD policies and practices and impending Congressional resolutions. The expenditure projections, unless otherwise authorized, serve as limitations of the rate of expenditure, defined by the actual outstanding and existing obligation vehicles carried forward into the new fiscal year and at rates of the prior fiscal year.
        Review Additional Continuing Resolution Amount Request Additional budget authority sought by the components are forwarded to the OSD(C) for review and evaluation. If approved and Congressional action is required, a request for additional budget, contract or borrowing authority is submitted to the designated Congressional committee for enactment.
    Execute Rescission, Cancellation and Deferrals This process describes the withdrawal and deferral of funds as mandated by the Appropriation Act and Impoundment Act.    
        Determine Re-Apportionment If rescissions and deferrals are not enacted by congress within the time required by law (Impoundment Act), these funds must be released and made available for apportionment.
        Develop Proposed Rescission Language Required data and language necessary for rescission acceptance and approval are applied to finalize the rescission report.
        Develop Proposed Rescission Report A report of rescission actions is prepared and submitted to OMB containing detailed descriptions of proposed amounts to be rescinded, accounts, projects, Government functions/activities involved, description of rescinding action justification, as well as the impact(s) of a rescission on ongoing operations. Other relevant facts regarding the impact and justification of rescinding actions are included.
        Generate Deferral Report A report of deferral actions is prepared and submitted to OMB containing detailed descriptions of proposed amounts to defer; accounts, projects, and Government functions/activities involved; description of deferral justification, as well as the impact(s) of the deferrals. Other relevant facts regarding the impact and justification of deferral actions proposed are included.
        Generate Rescission, Cancellation and Deferral Pro Forma Entries Generating rescission, cancellation and deferral pro forma entries consists of using business information pertaining to the full or partial deferral, reduction (both temporary and permanent), cancellation or recission of authority from enacted legislation captured during operations to determine the appropriate general ledger account updates (debits or credits to proprietary, budgetary, or memorandum accounts).
        Identify Appropriation Line Item Amount In this process, a specific rescission has been identified and the appropriate line item amounts of the specific rescission must be identified.
        Identify Spread In this process, budget projections, appropriated amounts and accounting balances are analyzed and the target appropriations are identified for rescission.
        Interpret Congressional Action An appropriation/apportionment that includes an approved rescission is reviewed and evaluated in terms of the impact on funding operations for the designated and future periods. Alternative actions might be developed to sustain initiatives, ongoing operations or new requirements
        Preposition Withdrawal The withdrawal is systematically pre-positioned to determine the specified date and areas that funding will be withdrawn.
        Review Cancellation of Budgetary Resources OSD reviews and determines any impacts the cancellation will have on Component's budgetary resources via an Impact Statements Update response from Components.
        Review Congressional Action The Comptroller reviews Congressional enactments of deferrals and rescissions for acceptance, denial, or adjustment to determine the extent and scope of follow-up actions that might be required.
        Review Proposed Deferrals Review and evaluate OMB proposals for deferral of appropriated budgetary resources: If deferred, designated budget authority from an appropriation act, for a specified apportionment amount will not be available for obligation until a specified future period.
        Review Rescission Requirements The Comptroller reviews and evaluates proposals for the rescission of budgetary resources from existing or requested budget authorizations; rescinded budget authority is permanently deleted from an appropriation/apportionment or other funding source.
        Track Deferral Accounts An approved deferral action requires tracking of the amount(s) of the budget line-item for the deferral period.
        Withdraw Funds Budget authority rescinded are withdrawn for the associated line item budget amount and generally transferred to a higher level within the budget structure, unless no higher level exists. A PFD document is created to capture the rescission action and reflect the withdrawal and transfer of budget authority.
    Implement Case in Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund This activity implements a specific Letter of Offer and Acceptance document in the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund. Letters of Offer and Acceptance documents (Basic, Amendment, Modification and Lease) are implemented upon acceptance and receipt of a deposit, if required. On an exception basis, DSCA may authorize emergency implementation when the document is in accepted status and prior to receipt of the required deposit. This activity establishes the contract authority for the implemented case and records budgetary resources at the case level.    
        Distribute Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund Case Line The Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund budget authority released to the Implementing Agency for execution of the case implemented in the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund case line. This records the actual distribution of budget authority to the Implementing Agency at case line level.
        Implement Case in Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund This activity implements a specific Letter of Offer and Acceptance document in the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund. Letters of Offer and Acceptance documents (Basic, Amendment, Modification and Lease) are implemented upon acceptance and receipt of a deposit, if required. On an exception basis, DSCA may authorize emergency implementation when the document is in accepted status and prior to receipt of the required deposit. This activity establishes the contract authority for the implemented case and records budgetary resources at the case level.
        Notify Customer Notify customer if the emergency implementation of a case for FMS trust fund has been rejected.
        Receive Accepted FMS Trust Fund Letter of Offer and Acceptance Document The physical receipt of the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund Letter Offer and Acceptance document countersigned by DSCA and signed by the purchaser, if required.
        Receive Request for Emergency Implementation of Case in FMS Trust Fund Case DSCA receives a request to implement a case in accepted status, but prior to receipt of the amount due with acceptance.
    Manage Baseline for Reprogramming This process manages the baseline for reprogramming appropriated funds within a fiscal year. This baseline will be used as the starting point for reprogramming actions such as below threshold reprogramming (BTR), internal reprogramming, or prior approvals.    
        Coordinate with Components The OSD(C) coordinates with stakeholders to ensure that reprogramming baseline information contained within reprogramming baseline report(s) are current, complete and correct.
        Determine Reprogramming Actions Appropriation Act(s) containing reprogramming provisions are reviewed to determine specific actions which might be available for Congressional approval and/or for establishing a base of reprogramming actions (DD1414). DoD approved reprogramming actions are submitted to request prior approval of Congressional committees (DD1415-1) or for internal actions planned (DD1415-3) for tracking using the base. Requests submitted include provisions of special interest to Congressional committees, actions previously permitted/denied, stated restrictions on purpose, scope and use of budget authority. The base provides information needed to track, manage and report reprogramming requests and the status of reprogramming actions during available period(s) of budget authority. Reprogramming action candidates include both 1) redirections of budget authority, at a budget line-item or similar level, from its original purpose/scope to another within an enacted appropriation and/or 2) the reprogramming of budget authority from one appropriation to another.
        Generate Draft Baseline Report Reprogramming provisions tracked using the base, including authorized reprogramming actions, serve to track both the undistributed budget authority requested and/or approved for reprogramming as well as the internal distributions of this authority to the Components. The draft report is reviewed by the components and changes coordinated through the OUSD (C). An audit trail of reprogramming, i.e., transferring budget authority during the period of availability, is maintained, based on Congressional or management parameters and guidance regarding both the originally enacted purpose/scope/use and intended purpose/scope/use of the budget authority. The draft base report information is coordinated among the Components to arrive at decisions for the intended realignment of budget authority among the stakeholders. The draft base report includes guidance/stipulations for the distribution and use of reprogrammed budget authority.
        Generate Draft Rebaseline Report Certain Congressional and/or managerial actions occur, after an initial baseline is established, that impact the base and threshold amounts of the initial base, requiring updates to and rebaselining of original reprogramming bases and associated thresholds. Such actions include adjustments, e.g., deferrals, and funding rescissions. Generation of a rebaseline (report) is then used to track the effect of subsequent reprogramming actions on the budget authority base, reprogramming and the status of activity impacting the threshold limits.
        Incorporate Congressional Feedback Feedback received from reviews of a reprogramming request that includes specific adjustments, restrictions, rejections and/or approvals. Enactment of reprogramming resolutions or legislation can occur with these special provisions. The feedback received is incorporated into the DoD reprogramming base, including enacted reprogramming authorizations with associated threshold amounts. The enacted reprogramming authority serves as a baseline for tracking subsequent reprogramming distributions of budget authority internally and the uses made of the reprogrammed authority within base thresholds.
        Incorporate Feedback Feedback is received from components and incorporated into a reprogramming baseline to reflect an accurate and current view of the status of existing thresholds to properly assess the implications of reprogramming requests, and actions taken.
        Prepare Report for Congressional Review Depending on the appropriation affected by the reprogramming request, the reprogramming package is prepared according to the Appropriation Act guidelines and submitted by USDC to the Congressional Defense committee.
        Publish Base for Programming Once congressional feedback has been incorporated and it is determined that there is a need for a baseline report, the reprogramming baseline report is published by the Comptroller.
    Manage Report of Programs This diagram focuses on the creation and publication of report of programs once a year as of September 30th to document changes to programming levels. The report may also be generated as necessary and used for historical purposes.    
        Analyze Anomalies The draft Report of Programs data is analyzed to determine the reconciling items or discrepancies, including disbursements, deposits, undisbursed expenditure general ledger accounts, and receipt ledger account to determine actions needed for resolution.
        Generate Draft Program Report The DD 1414 request baseline is updated with changes authorized and inserted into the DD1414 under the Congressionally mandated format. Changes include actions from the entire chronology of previous as well as current requests and actions taken throughout the life of appropriation provisions and section of the act authorizations, requests, enactments and resolutions. Additionally, an automated reconciliation of the actions included in the chronology is performed to agree funding requests and balance levels in the Accounting system.
        Generate Reconciled Draft Report In this process, the automated reconciliation against funding levels in the Accounting system have been performed and a draft reconciled report is generated.
        Incorporate Changes A Report of Programs, (DD1416) representing the status of Reprogramming Action requests and actions taken is generated and submitted at least annually to the Congress for review, adjustment, denial, or approval of reprogramming action requests.
        Incorporate Comments The OSD(C) receives and evaluates proposals from the Component and incorporates accepted ones.
        Publish Program Reports A finalized Report of Programs is generated automatically once the data base is updated, considered current and accurate.
        Reconcile Program Information In this process, program information is reconciled and reviewed for anomalies by the Comptroller.
        Review Request for Report of Programs Data is captured and reviewed for the preparation of A Report of Programs, (DD1416) representing the status of Reprogramming Action requests and actions taken is generated and submitted at least annually to the Congress for review, adjustment, denial, or approval of reprogramming action requests.
    Perform Reprogramming and Transfers This process realigns funds from the original Congressional enactment or subsequent distribution of funds to new areas.    
        Assess Congressional Position OUSDC examines comments and determines appropriate actions. Any action requires unanimous Committee approval. Approvals are provided for the entire package or for segments of the package, including line-item approvals.
        Coordinate Reprogramming Requirements with OMB Reprogramming requests submitted to OMB for review; Changes prescribed by OMB are negotiated; Changes are used to update the base submittal.
        Coordinate Transfer Requirements with OMB Receives response from OMB and adjusts documentation as necessary, then shares with Component.
        Develop Response to Congressional Decision Congress disapproval of a reprogramming package requires an evaluation by the responsible Comptroller to determine whether follow up response-action is warranted, or whether no action should be taken and a disposition of the request package decided.
        Prepare Requirements for Submission to Congress Once OMB has approved the reprogramming requirements, the comptroller prepares a reprogramming package (DD1414) for submission to Congress.
        Prepare Requirements for Submission to OMB At various Component levels, funding requirements needed to support ongoing steady state operations, changes to requirements and new initiatives are evaluated, based on budget execution rates, trends, and changes to or misaligned funding allocations. The analysis is aimed at determining the amounts of funding needed for both current and planned programs. The aggregated requirements are assembled and evaluated regarding future needs versus projected funding, and strategies developed for closing gaps. Possible reprogramming action requests are developed for submission to OMB for Congressional review and possible pre-approval (DD1414).
        Prepare Transfer Requirements for Submission to OMB Process and issue budgetary documents (e.g. DD Forms 1414, 1415 & 1416) to adjust the losing and gaining budgetary resources. Documentation is sent to OMB to support the determination of reductions in apportionment.
        Review Reprogramming Requirements Reprogramming requirements are received by the OSD from Components for review and evaluation. In addition, a current, up-to-date Baseline Reprogramming report is used to evaluate proposed reprogramming requirements.
        Review Transfer Requirements OSD reviews and determines impacts that the Transfer Requirement will have on budgetary resources.
        Submit Approved Request to Treasury Once Congress has approved the reprogramming package, the comptroller submits the approved package to the Treasury as notification and recording of approved reprogramming actions.
Manage Financial Assets and Liabilities Manage Financial Assets and Liabilities is the process to demonstrate accountability over assets and liabilities through identification, classification, and valuation from acquisition or inception to disposal or liquidation.        
    Manage Delinquent Debt This process allows DoD to restore delinquent debts to current status or, if unsuccessful, maximize collection on the DoD's accounts. This process provides DoD standard debt collection strategy to promote the resolution of delinquencies as quickly as possible. It also provides the debt collection processes available to assist DoD to collect debts for those customer/debtor accounts that have become delinquent and supplements the debt collection statutes and regulations in addition to DoD policies and procedures.    
        Apply Collection Upon receipt the amount collected should be applied to the associated debt. When applying collections to the outstanding debt balance, collections are applied in the following order of priority: (1) to penalties applied to the outstanding balance, (2) to administrative fees applied to the outstanding balance, (3) interest applied to the outstanding balance, and (4) to the outstanding principal balance.
        Calculate Allowance for Loss on Accounts Receivable An estimate made of receivables that are expected to be uncollectible. This estimate should be recorded as an allowance for loss on that receivable.
        Calculate and Apply Penalty, Administrative Fees and Interest Calculate penalties, administrative charges, and interest fees on overdue receivables.

        Implement Compromise Agreement Upon receipt of documentations and approvals, implement the compromise agreement within the terms and conditions agreed with the debtor.
        Issue Credit Memo Issue credit memo to reflect adjustment to the account.
        Liquidate Outstanding Penalty, Administrative Fees and Interest Balance Apply collection to the outstanding penalty, administrative, and interest charges. Once all associated fees have been liquidated, apply remaining payment to the outstanding principal balance. This reduces the fees and principal balances.
        Liquidate Outstanding Principal Balance Apply funds collected to the balance of administrative fees associated with the outstanding receivable balance.
        Negotiate Payment Agreement This process provides the debtors with notice of, and the opportunity to dispute a debt or develop a payment plan (e.g. Compromise or Installment).
        Notify Legal Function Notify debt to legal for additional collection actions and processing. DoD performs procedures to notify the applicable legal functions (internal or external to the agency, as applicable) and provide applicable facts and documentation.
        Perform Minimum Due Process Check if DoD processes are providing to the debtor their due process (more fully due process of law) in respect all of the legal rights that are owed is according to the law of the land.
        Process Administrative Wage Garnishment This process receives the information from the business community that process the financial and accounting information associated with administrative wage garnishment.
        Process and Document Waiver Request If waiver request has been received, review and obtain appropriate approvals to process the waiver for the delinquent debt. This process allows DoD to process the waive interest, administrative costs, and penalties applied to customer/debtor accounts.
        Re-Calculate Outstanding Penalty, Administrative Fees and Interest Balance Upon liquidation of associated fees, the amounts for the delinquent debts will be re-calculated to determine the updated receivable balances.
        Re-Calculate Outstanding Principal Balance After application of funds collected the amount of outstanding administrative fees is recalculated.
        Receive Debt Close-Out or Remission Information The receipt of the close out and/or remission request allows DoD to cease any further administrative or legal action to collect debts and generate the appropriate accounting transactions to adjust the outstanding accounts receivable balance.
        Receive Write-Off Request DoD determines if the debt is uncollectible. If the debt is identified as uncollectible, the DoD should write-off the debt. If the debt is not identified as uncollectible, the agency evaluates the need for an adjustment. This process allows DoD to review each debt eligible for write-off to determine whether it should be written off and consider or whether it should be classified as currently not collectible or close-out.
        Refer Eligible Debts to Treasury Delinquent account information is referred to the Department of Treasury on accounts having no payments received within 90 days of the date of the initial debt notification letter. The information transmitted to Treasury is in the format specified in the Integrated Agency Interface (IAI) format.

        Review Compromise Agreement If debt compromise has been received, review the agreement for accuracy and obtain appropriate approvals.
        Review Debt in Protest This process allows DoD to provide a customer an opportunity to dispute the debt or the adverse collection action to be taken. At a minimum, the customer should have the opportunity to challenge (1) the existence of all or part of the debt, and/or (2) whether the agency has met the statutory or regulatory prerequisites for using the collection action mentioned in the notice.
        Review Eligible Receivables This process step allows DoD to review eligible receivables prior to identifying debts to be referred to Treasury for further collection.
        Review Installment Agreement Upon receipt of installment agreement, review the documents for accuracy and ensure that appropriate approvals have been received prior to re-scheduling the receivable. This process step allows DoD collect debt over time. Installment plans represent a supplemental debt collection tool available to DoD and should only be offered to customers who present valid evidence of inability to pay claims and are offered to those customers prior to offset or administrative wage garnishment.
        Review Offset Request Review offset request from Treasury or internal DoD function to adjust outstanding delinquent debt balances and information.
        Terminate Collection Actions Terminate collection efforts based on request from Treasury, Department of Justice, or internal DoD function.
        Update Delinquent Debt Balance and Status This is the process to manage and maintain the account information on individual receivables. Activities within this process include aging receivables, calculating interest and recording penalties and administrative charges on overdue debt, pursuing collection of amounts due, liquidating receivables, recording adjustments to receivables, maintaining a proper allowance for uncollectible amounts, and recording write-offs.
    Manage Investments This process involves the management and recording of (including purchase, sale, amortization) securities held for the production of investment revenues, net of premiums and discounts.    
        Manage Investment Balance Record and post actual and accrued interest and expense, according to investment rates, terms, and amortization schedules.
        Purchase or Transfer In Investments Purchase or the transfer in of US Treasury investment securities, including calculating amortization purchase premiums and discounts. A transaction confirmation should be received from Treasury.
        Sell or Transfer Out Investments Sell of the transfer out of U.S. Treasury investment securities. This transaction should trigger an event that will record gain or loss on the disposition of investment.
    Manage Liabilities This process describes recognizing and recording amounts owed to federal or nonfederal entities, including individuals, by the Department of Defense based upon physical performance or implied performance. It includes activities related to managing payables and accruals, recording the events related to the receipt of a request for payment; and recording of the other liabilities and the related asset or expense. This process starts with evaluating liability information (by identifying the liability related to accounts payable, and the liability to be accrued). It ends with generating entries to be posted to General Ledger.    
        Calculate Adjustment to Undelivered Orders Calculate the adjustment to the amount of goods and or services ordered, which have not been actually or constructively received and for which amounts have not been prepaid or advanced. This includes amounts specified in other contracts or agreements such as grants, program subsidies, undisbursed loans and claims, and similar events for which an advance or prepayment has not occurred.
