The absence of legislation to reduce the federal budget deficit by at least $1.2 trillion triggered the sequestration process in section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), as amended. Pursuant to the BBEDCA, the President ordered sequestration of budgetary resources across non-exempt federal government accounts on March 1, 2013-five months into fiscal year 2013. In a March 2013 report to Congress, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calculated the overall reduction at $85.3 billion and estimated that the Department of Defense (DOD) would be required to take a 7.8 percent reduction in nonexempt defense discretionary funding, based on the continuing resolution in place at that time. Subsequent to the sequestration order, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 provided DOD with a full appropriation for the remainder of fiscal year 2013.1 As a result, OMB determined the total federal government sequestration reduction for fiscal year 2013 to be approximately $80 billion.
