Administrative Adjustment Period for Type 2 Appropriations

All open type 2 appropriations that have a referenced end date per law will be converted to have an administrative adjustment period in AFIS, similar to how type 1 appropriations operate.  All open type 2 appropriations that do not have a referenced end date per law will continue to operate the same as they are now without an administrative adjustment period.  The addition of the administrative adjustment period for type 2 appropriations provides additional time to pay and/or make corrections and does not provide additional time to obligate or receive goods or services. 

The GAO has analyzed all open type 2 appropriations that have remaining balances and will begin adding an administrative adjustment period to them, if appropriate.  Type 2 appropriations will now be broken out into various types based on the below chart (type 2, 2A, 2B, 2C and 2CA), depending on the wording in the law that established the appropriation.  These various types are being created for the GAO tracking and reporting purposes as well as to allow an administrative adjustment period for the agency. 

The GAO will update all necessary tables in AFIS for the existing open type 2 appropriations, including the BFY19 type 2 appropriations that have already been loaded into  AFIS.  For instructions on loading any remaining BFY19 type 2 appropriations, please refer to the FY19 Appropriation and Allotment Instructions that were revised in June 2018.   These instructions are also available on the GAO website, under AFIS Information.  The GAO anticipates having all applicable open type 2 appropriations converted to having an administrative adjustment period by June 30, 2018.
