Homeland Security Department: FY2012 Appropriations
Summary
This report describes the FY20 12 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). The Administration requested a total appropriation (mandatory and discretionary) of
$45,015 million in budget authority for FY2012. This amounts to a $1,610 million, or a 3.7%o,
increase from the $43,405 million enacted for FY20 11 through the continuing resolution (P L.
112-10). Total budget authority, including appropriations, fee revenues, and trust funds in the
Administration's budget request for DHS for FY20 12 amounts to $57,079 million as compared to
$55,783 million enacted for FY2O11.
Net requested appropriations for maj or agencies within DHS were as follows: Customs and
Border Protection (CBP), $10,372 million; Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), $5,494
million; Transportation Security Administration (TSA), $5,514 million; Coast Guard, $8,677
million; Secret Service, $1,699 million; National Protection & Programs Directorate, $1,268
million; Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), $6,789 million (later amended
by a supplemental request to $11,389 million); Science and Technology, $1,176 million; and the
Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, $332 million.
On September 30, 2011, the President signed into law a short-term continuing resolution (CR) to
continue funding for government operations through October 4, 2011, and then a second CR that
ran through November 18, 2011. Both resolutions funded operations at the FY20 11 rate, less
1.50300 in order to accommodate the budget caps implemented by the Budget Control Act (P.L.
112-25). The resolutions included $2.65 billion to replenish the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF)
which had been depleted through the response to multiple significant events in FY20 11. The
short-term CR was passed as an amendment replacing the text of H.R. 2017, the Homeland
Security Appropriations bill. This procedure interrupted the process for creating a stand-alone
Homeland Security Appropriations bill to send to the President. Three other short term continuing
resolutions were needed to keep the government operating until the FY20 12 appropriations work
was completed.
On December 23, 2011, the President signed into law P.L. 112-74, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, FY20 12. Division D of the bill was designated the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2012. That same day, he signed into law P.L. 112-77, the Disaster
Relief Appropriations Act, 2012. The two Acts provide gross budget authority of $47,698 million
for DHS for FY20 12. Together, they provide $46,000 million in net budget authority, $39,600 in
the base appropriations bill and $6,400 million in the disaster relief supplemental. Excluding the
supplemental funding for disaster relief, this represents a $3,976 million decrease as compared to
the President's budget request for DHS, and a $2,066 million decrease from the level provided in
FY2O11 under PL. 112-10.Congressional Research Service
