BUDGET & APPROPRIATIONS
President's budget request to be released today
ECA Staff | 2/10/2020
The White House will release the FY 2021 budget request today, which will call for a reduction in nondefense spending and a slight increase in defense spending.
ECA expects to see an almost 19% increase in the NNSA budget, and ECA has been told that many sites will see cuts to the environmental cleanup budgets in the President’s request below FY 2020 levels. DOE overall is expected to see an 8% decrease in the President’s request.
ECA will provide a detailed breakdown of the budget request as more information becomes available.
