| Based on an estimated shortfall projection, the Civil Division is requesting discretionary resources to augment the mandatory funds that are authorized in P.L. 107-107. The total discretionary resource level for FY 2005 represents a program increase of $72,000,000. | |||||||||||||

| Congress enacted a mandatory appropriation to fund the expenses of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Trust Fund in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002 (P.L. 107-107). That Act capped the maximum appropriation for FY 2002 through FY 2011. The amount authorized for the Trust Fund in FY 2004 was $107,000,000 and FY 2005 is capped at $65,000,000. The Department anticipates that the 2005 mandatory appropriation will not support the number of claims expected to be filed. Based on this estimated shortfall projection, the Civil Division is requesting $72,000,000 in discretionary resources to augment the authorized mandatory amounts. The total discretionary resource level for FY 2005 represents a program increase of $72,000,000. | |||||||||||||
