Omnibus Request

Pentagon Comptroller Michael McCord is calling on the service comptrollers and agency heads to submit their fiscal year 2015 omnibus reprogramming requirements by May 15.

"Your submission must identify sources to offset the requested increases," McCord writes in a March 23 memo, adding: "In order to ensure the full consideration of your requests, your explanations for both increases and decreases need to be informative of the programmatic adjustment, concise and net to zero. Thorough justifications will expedite the review of your proposals by this office and the congressional committees. Each requirement must explain the need for additional funding and the impact to the program if funds are not provided. Each source must explain why funds are available and the impact on the program."
