NCEH/ATSDR Budget

Funding Process Overview

Congress funds the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) through the annual appropriations process.

• The House and Senate Committees on Appropriations write spending bills and reports that specify funding levels for most federal agencies and discretionary programs.
• Each chamber of Congress must pass identical spending bills and send it to the president for signature.
• Assuming Congress passes a spending bill and the President approves it, funding is available for the fiscal year beginning on October 1.

In years when Congress is unable to pass a new spending bill, funding for NCEH and ATSDR may be extended via continuing resolutions that may last anywhere from a few days or up to the full fiscal year. These continuing resolutions often, but not always, fund agencies at the funding level from the previous fiscal year.
