Evaluation of Agency’s Budgeting and Cumulative Report
Budget Overview
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is an independent agency that
deals with preserving and documenting both historical and government records. Also, this U.S
based agency ensures that there is increased public access to such documents. However, to
effectively achieve its mandate, the agency relies on allocation from the federal government.
The 2020 fiscal year saw the National Archives and Records Administration request a
budget totalling $358 million to Congress. Such funds were meant to facilitate the actions that
the agency had already started on from the previous year. Also, the funds were to help in
completing the mission for the year. This request saw a slight increase in the agency’s operating
expenses compared to FY 2019 (National Archives and Records Administration, 2019).
The FY 2020 request eliminated the funding for the grant program meant for the National
Historical Publications and Records. The president’s budget saw a request of $345.6 million that
would cater to operating expenses in FY 2020. It should be noted that this request doesn’t
include the funding to repay the National Archive building debt. In order to remove this
payment, the budget was reduced by $29 million.
While excluding the repayment of the debt, the agency’s operating cost was reduced to
, $344 million. The agency was allocated $22 million to support its strategic initiative to stop
accepting paper records. Also, the FY 2020 request provided for the designing and construction
of new mass digitization space. While $4.8 million was allocated to the Office of Inspector
General, $7.5 million was preserved to repair and restore the agency’s buildings (National
Archives and Records Administration, 2019).
The functional classification system involves the ways in which budgetary resources are
grouped. It was established to ensure that all budget authority and outlays of off and on federal
budget entities and tax expenditures are presented according to the national need being
addressed. NARA’s agency operation falls in education, training, employment, and social
services functions. This argument can be demonstrated by the fact that NARA deals with
preserving and providing both government and historical records. Therefore, its no doubt that
this can be viewed as a social service function. Hence, the agency is falling under this functional
classification.
At the same time, NARA deals with the provision of research and general education
materials. It does so by increasing public access to government documents and historical records.
Therefore, it’s no doubt that the agency's operations fall in education, training, employment, and
social services functions. As mentioned earlier, the agency’s role is to provide social services and
education-related services. Thus, it comfortably falls in this functional classification of the
federal budget.
Budget authority involves the responsibility conferred by Congress that empowers the
government agencies to spend the federal funds. In most cases, Congress can specify the criteria
for spending funds allocated to agencies (National Achieves, 2021). A good example of such
specification is that Congress can stipulate that a specific agency must spend the allocated funds
within a specific year, number of years, or any time in the future. On the other hand, outlays
involve the amount of money that flows out of the federal treasury in a given year.
