Rescissions Proposals Pursuant to the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974

Pursuant to section 1014(d) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, enclosed for publication in the Federal Register is a special message from the President reflecting the proposals for rescission under section 1012 of that Act that were transmitted to the Congress for consideration on September 25, 2026. In total, these proposals would rescind $810 million in budget authority. These proposed rescissions affect programs of the Department of Commerce, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, and Justice, as well as for International Assistance Programs. If enacted, these rescissions would decrease Federal outlays in the affected accounts by the same amount; this would have a commensurate effect on the Federal budget deficit and the national economy, and would result in less borrowing by the Federal Government.
