    (b)(1) The President shall apportion in writing an appropriation 
available to an executive agency (except the Commission) that is 
required to be apportioned under section 1512 of this title. The head of 
each executive agency to which the appropriation is available shall 
submit to the President information required for the apportionment in 
the form and the way and at the time specified by the President. The 
information shall be submitted not later than the later of the 
following:
        (A) 40 days before the beginning of the fiscal year for which 
    the appropriation is available; or
        (B) 15 days after the date of enactment of the law by which the 
    appropriation is made available.

    (2) The President shall notify the head of the executive agency of 
the action taken in apportioning the appropriation under paragraph (1) 
of this subsection not later than the later of the following:
        (A) 20 days before the beginning of the fiscal year for which 
    the appropriation is available; or
        (B) 30 days after the date of enactment of the law by which the 
    appropriation is made available.

    (c) By the first day of each fiscal year, the head of each executive 
department of the United States Government shall apportion among the

appropriated for the entire year for the department. Each amount may be 
changed during the fiscal year only by written direction of the head of 
the department. The direction shall state the reasons for the change.
    (d) An appropriation apportioned under this subchapter may be 
divided and subdivided administratively within the limits of the 
apportionment.

agricultural price support programs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------

    In the section, the word ``apportion'' is substituted for 
``apportionment or reapportionment'' because of section 1512(a)(last 
sentence) of the revised title.
    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the word ``official'' is 
substituted for ``officer'' for consistency in the revised title. The 
words ``judicial branch'' are substituted for ``judiciary'', and the 
words ``District of Columbia government'' are substituted for ``District 
of Columbia'', for consistency.
    In subsection (b), the word ``President'' is substituted for 
``Director of the Office of Management and Budget'', ``Office of 
Management and Budget'', and ``Director'' because sections 101 and 
102(a) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff. July 1, 1970, 84 Stat. 
2085) designated the Bureau of the Budget as the Office of Management 
and Budget and transferred all functions of the Bureau to the President.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``(except the Commission)'' are 
added because the International Trade Commission is covered specifically 
by the source provisions restated in subsection (a).
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``head of the executive agency'' are 
substituted for ``agency'' as being more precise and because of section 
102 of the revised title.
    In subsection (c), the words ``In addition to the apportionment 
required by section 665 of this title'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because of the restatement. The words ``By the first day'' are 
substituted for ``on or before the beginning'', and the words ``of the 
United States Government'' are added, for clarity. The words ``major 
organizational unit'' are substituted for ``office or bureau'' for 
consistency in the revised section. The word ``changed'' is substituted 
for ``increased or diminished'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (e), the words ``initiation and operation'' are 
substituted for ``initiation, operation, and administration'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
