Abstract: The formulation of the budget usually begins approximately 10 months before the President submits his budget to Congress (about 18 months before the start of the fiscal year). During the early stages of the budget’s formulation, federal agencies prepare their budget requests following their own procedures. OMB plays a coordinating role in this process and provides policy guidelines through circulars, bulletins, and other detailed communications. In particular, OMB Circular No. A-11, available on OMB’s Web site at [http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/], contains detailed instructions and schedules for submission of agency budget requests and other material to ensure that budget requests adhere to standardized conventions and formats.
