Capital Budget Rider Appropriations (APS 026)

Agency Requirements

Introduction

Agencies are required to:

• Complete the Capital Budget Allocation Schedule.
• Profile Program Cost Accounts (PCAs) in USAS.
• Transfer amounts representing capital budget from direct appropriations.

Complete Capital Budget Schedules

Each July, agencies are required to complete the Capital Budget Allocation Schedule. For the schedule and a sample of a completed schedule, see Establishing Appropriations by Method of Finance, Rider, Capital Budget and Transfer Schedules (FPP A.020).

Establish Profile PCAs in USAS

Agencies must establish profile PCAs. The PCA indicates the direct strategy program code from where the capital budget is originally appropriated in the GAA.

Multiple PCAs may be established for each capital budget appropriation if combinations of direct strategies, program codes and funding sources are needed.

For more information and guidance on profiling PCAs, read about the Program Cost Account (26) profile in USAS Coding Instructions (FPP Q.010).

Establish Original Budget

Agencies are required to establish original capital budget balances by transferring amounts from their direct appropriations into the newly established capital budget appropriations for the upcoming appropriation year. These original budget transfers are due at the same time as other appropriation budgets.

Process Payments

Agencies are required to record capital budget expenditures in the appropriate capital budget appropriations. Additional information on processing payments can be found in eXpendit.

Committed Budgets

To establish a capital budget appropriation with a committed budget, use T-codes 012 and 018. Enter the committed budget transfer in USAS using the coding blocks in the table below.

CAPPS agencies tracking the below appropriation numbers in CAPPS can send the transaction through CAPPS or make the USAS transaction directly into USAS. If the transaction is entered directly into USAS, then create a budget journal in CAPPS.

Collected Budgets

To fund a collected budget:

• Move cash/revenue from the direct appropriation(s) if available.
• Deposit cash/revenue directly into the capital budget appropriation.

To establish a capital budget appropriation with a collected budget, add T-codes 015 and 021.

Note: Cash must also be transferred or deposited directly to provide funding.
