Budget Submission Development and Preparation Guide

The process for preparing the FY 2014 Operating Budget is beginning.

Introduction

There are four major parts associated with the development and preparation of your budget submission:

  1. The Program Mission Summary is the narrative portion of your budget. It describes the unit’s mission, functions, trends, mandates, etc.
  2. The Base or Same Services Level Budget is the part of the budget that provides for the next fiscal year, the amount that is necessary to continue current functions, activities, and services.
  3. Organization Charts that display the major functional and reporting relationships that exist among and between units in an office, and personnel complements.
  4. The Program Efficiency, Abandonment, and Redirection (PEAR) process provides information on how to reduce the budget or realign resources from lower to higher priority programs. Based on the fiscal outlook, this process will be instituted again for the FY 2014 budget. Targets for each office will be distributed as soon as they are determined.

Detailed information and directions for preparing each part of the budget submission are provided in the Full Budget Submission Guide (PDF). Find all budget forms that you will need to complete your submission. One form is not available on the website but will be E-mailed to you.
