Federal Budgeting…It’s Not Rocket Science
• Rocket science, after all, conforms to the laws of physics and it is predictable
• Our political system is perfectly and purposely designed to neither be efficient nor predictable
• Consider that by 2025 we will have had:– Up to 3 more Presidents with their own vision– 6 election cycles for the House of Representatives– 2 Senate election cycles– 10 more budgets, 10 continuing resolutions, perhaps a few shutdowns, and
possibly 30 reprogramming's to those appropriations• Add in debates on taxes, entitlements, sequestration, deficit reduction to
the normal engineering and science challenges we face every day…budget stability is challenging
• Our federal system is designed not with efficiency in mind but rather with the purpose of protecting liberty and freedom, ensuring no one player holds the key to power.

How A Budget Is Born (1 of 2)
• One person’s requirement is seen by the next level as only a request. It is all a negotiation.
• OCFO distributes top level budget guidance reflecting the Administrator’s priorities and budget levels.– The Administrator can set aside funds in order to provide flexibility for resolving
issues at the end of the process. 1% has been set aside in recent years. • Control Account Managers (CAMs), formulate their individual budget
requests and submit their budget proposals called the “Program Analysis and Alignment (PAA)” report along with the submission of issue papers on gaps, risks, misalignments and initiatives.– CAMs are the HQ Mission Directorates, Education Office and Inspector General
• The Administrator makes his final decisions on NASA’s budget content and allocations to CAMs based on these inputs, including leveraging any set aside to solve “budget” problems.
• Based on this final direction, NASA submits its budget proposal (OMB Submit) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the Executive Office of the President.

• OMB receives the budget proposals from all Federal departments and agencies, and forms the President’s Budget Request (PBR) based on Presidential priorities. This is submitted to Congress.
• The House of Representatives and the Senate each write and pass their own version of the NASA budget along with all others, and eventually come to agreement on funding levels, voting the bills into law.
• The President signs off on the Appropriation Act from Congress• NASA submits an Operating Plan (op plan) on how to spend the
appropriations, given likely differences between the final appropriations and NASA’s request, as well as changes in programmatic needs since NASA developed its budget request. – There are limits on how much money may be moved through operating plans.

Why Change is Needed
• New Commercial Space Market– When NASA was founded (1958)
space operations were government funded; the current space market is only 25% government funded
• Severely Constrained Budget– US debt levels ~$17 trillion– NASA budget is lowest in history; ~2/3
lower funding than Apollo era
• Aging & Costly Infrastructure– Institution is unbalanced with program/
mission requirements– Deferred maintenance levels in
Agency are huge ($2.3B)
• Increasing Civil Service Costs– Comparing 2007 to 2014, labor costs
rose 23.5%,and total budget only increased 8.5%.
• Limited New Opportunities– With SLS/MPCV/GSDO
moving to development, only 1-2% of the budget is invested in missions in formulation through the budget horizon
NASA’s institution was largely developed during a past era with different missions; we must change and provide an institution for current & future mission priorities

• Funding request for CoF typically increases between NASA initial budget guidance and the NASA budget request to OMB due to the Administrator applying a portion of his 1% Fund.
• OMB varies between matching the NASA request in the President’s Budget Request (FY12-13) versus making reductions (FY11 and FY14) to the NASA request.
• Congressional appropriations have cut CoF funding from the President’s Budget Request annually (FY11-FY14).

• OMB has been supportive of our budget request for demolition and has not asked us to reduce that line item. Congress has not specifically reduced the demolition amount from our request but their overall reductions to CoF have forced us to reduce demolition in the initial operating plan to preserve some of the critical repairs within the CoF account.

• CMO Facility Services is vulnerable to reductions in the larger CAS account.• Name change proposed in FY15 budget for CAS to more accurately reflect mission
support investments and provide a more defensible description.– Congress proposed name change to “Safety, Security, and Mission Success”

• ECR funding variation demonstrates competing values year to year given different ECR requirements
What Makes a Successful Budget Request?
• Clear, specific, and realistic results to be obtained from the requested funds.
• Well-developed analysis documenting that the most cost-effective options have been chosen.– Benefit/Cost Analysis is the gold standard.– Net Present Value or Return on Investment a silver
standard.– Simple Payback a distant bronze.
• A solid, documented track-record of delivering on past promises without unexpected cost or schedule growth.– Show specifically what has been accomplished to date.

Communications• Communication is critical to NASA’s success! • Communication is critical for fully-functional distributed and
multidisciplinary teams. • People show complicated charts all the time… And we always say,
“I know you can’t really read this, but here’s what is really important about this chart…” Of course, communication goes way beyond charts. It includes all aspects of content, style and making connections with others. Don’t get into the Wah wah wah wah …
• Communicate your accomplishment and cost benefits.• Congress has rewarded good performance by increasing program
budgets, or by not cutting them. Communicating good performance is valuable!7/22/2014
