Sec. 458aaa-12. Budget request


(a) Requirement of annual budget request

                           (1) In general

        The President shall identify in the annual budget request 
    submitted to Congress under section 1105 of title 31 all funds 
    necessary to fully fund all funding agreements authorized under this 
    part, including funds specifically identified to fund tribal base 
    budgets. All funds so appropriated shall be apportioned to the 
    Indian Health Service. Such funds shall be provided to the Office of 
    Tribal Self-Governance which shall be responsible for distribution 
    of all funds provided under section 458aaa-4 of this title.

                      (2) Rule of construction

        Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize the 
    Indian Health Service to reduce the amount of funds that a self-
    governance tribe is otherwise entitled to receive under its funding 
    agreement or other applicable law, whether or not such funds are 
    apportioned to the Office of Tribal Self-Governance under this 
    section.

(b) Present funding; shortfalls

    In such budget request, the President shall identify the level of 
need presently funded and any shortfall in funding (including direct 
program and contract support costs) for each Indian tribe, either 
directly by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, under self-
determination contracts, or under compacts and funding agreements 
authorized under this part.
