A7: In addition to the amounts apportioned above, this account received funds pursuant to P.L. 119-37, as amended, as automatically apportioned via OMB Bulletin 26-01, and is receiving obligational authority as automatically apportioned via OMB Circular A-11, section 124.5, during the lapse in appropriations.
