Budget Authority is the federal governmentâs legal authority to spend a given amount of money for a certain purpose, according to laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.
The requested budget authority was an increase of $50.7 million more than the FY 2008 funding â about a three percent increase. In June 2008, Congress gave the agency an emergency appropriation of $150 million for FY 2008 and another $150 million.
