Agency Contact: William Perkle, UMTA Management Systems Office. 426-9537.

The purpose of this system is to provide managers of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) with fiscal and program information on UMTA grants. The system captures and processes extensive project and fiscal data. Examples of data elements maintained are: project name, project number, project description, project address, project status, program code, total cost, net cost, contract execution date, estimated completion date, and accrued versus planned/budgeted expenditures. Some 30 output reports are generated by this system. A program allotment status report provides a summary of obligations and reservations by activity within obligational authority and serves as an allotment ledger within the obligational authority. The output measures report can be summarized at any level of a project budget code to show how many products of a certain type were purchased and how many dollars were spent on a particular transportation mode. A capital grants (12.5 percent limitation) report provides a comparision between the capital projects granted within each state and the 12.5 percent limitation imposed by law. The active project status report is a detailed indication of the status of each active project. A project report history provides a complete history of all reports received from a project. The summary financial plan report is a summary of last year's approved funds, this year's budget and approved funds, and next year's budget.

Administrative Accounting Systems.

Budget Function/Subfunction: Central fiscal operations (803).

Agency Contact: Eugene H. Essner, Office of Audit. 9645323.

The Department has 12 administrative appropriation accounting systems operated independently on a decentralized basis by various Treasury bureaus and offices. The accounting systems comprise the documents, records, reports, and related procedures required to maintain control over costs, disbursements, liabilities and apportionments, allotments and obligations. Each system is designed to meet the individual needs of the bureaus or offices involved. However, all are independently designed to meet certain basic requirements, such as accrual accounting, effective control over the accountability for all funds, production of reliable accounting and related data to be used in preparation and support of the bureau's budget and for report requirements. The systems provide financial reports required by external agencies and provide the necessary reports for Government-wide accounting activities maintained in a separate system by the Bureau of Government Financial Operations. Although several of the systems utilize computers for some aspects of their processes, most systems are maintained on accounting machines.

General Revenue Sharing Reporting System.

Budget Function/Subfunction: Central fiscal operations (803); General Revenue Sharing (851).

Agency Contact: Charles G. Gallagher, Office of Revenue Sharing. 634-5170.

Every entitlement period, recipient governments are required to submit one or both of two reports on their general revenue sharing funds. The Planned Use Report notifies the recipient government of the total funds to be received during an entitlement period and requests information on the anticipated use of the funds. The Actual Use Report requests information on how funds received during the previous fiscal year were spent. Both reports must be returned to the Office of Revenue Sharing in order for the recipient to continue receiving funds. The system issues the reports through a comput. er-controlled printing process. When the forms are returned, the system maintains the status of the reports, records data from the reports, tabulates the data, issues acceptance notices to the governments, and issues replacement reports on request. A microfilm copy of the report is made, and a guide is published to provide the film location of the reports by account number.

General Revenue Sharing Payment System.

Budget Function/Subfunction: Central fiscal operations (803); General Revenue Sharing (851).

Agency Contact: Charles G. Gallagher, Office of Revenue Sharing. 634-5170.

The Payment System organizes the recipients of general revenue sharing funds as 40,000 individual accounts, computing the proper amounts for regularly scheduled quarterly payments as well as for special payments as needed. The basis for determination of amount of the entitlement is the allocation. Changes in the allocation are adjustments to the Payment System which may generate supplemental payments or accounts receivable. Governments no longer desiring to receive general revenue sharing funds may waive the funds. The Payment System changes the status of the recipient, satisfies any outstanding accounts receivable, and redistributes the funds to the proper recipients. From this system, several publications are prepared for distribution to Congress, state governments, and requesting recipients. Also produced from the Payment System is a history of all transactions of all recipients by state. This history is provided on microfiche to requesting state audit groups.

General Revenue Sharing Allocation System.

Budget Function/Subfunction: Central fiscal operations (803); General Revenue Sharing (851).

Agency Contact: Charles G. Gallagher, Office of Revenue Sharing. 634-5170.

The Allocation System determines the amount of general revenue sharing funds to which the governmental units are entitled. Certain data elements concerning each recipient are supplied (primarily by the Bureau of Census) to the Allocation System. A special formula for apportioning the funds was detailed in the Congressional Act establishing General Revenue Sharing. At the end of an entitlement period, based on the latest data available, the allocation for each recipient is recalculated for that period. If there is a difference between the amount paid for the period and the final allocation, that amount is handled by the Payment System as an adjustment to the next entitlement period. As the current entitlement period is being recalculated, the next period is calculated to determine the initial allocation. This is the only time during the period that allocations are calculated for all recipients. If extreme changes are made in the data elements during the period, reallocations can be made on an individual state basis.

Agency Contact: Charles G. Gallagher, Office of Revenue Sharing. 634-5170.

This book has been prepared by the Office of Revenue Sharing to provide a complete list of the initial data for all the states and local governments eligible for general revenue sharing during the sixth entitlement

period, July 1, 1975 to June 30, 1976. The book contains data on each of more than 39,000 jurisdictions. Allocations of shared revenues are made according to a formula set forth in the law which uses data collected by the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Internal Revenue Service. For local governments, four types of data are used: population, per capita income, adjusted taxes, and intergovernmental transfers. For states, seven types of data are used: population, urbanized population, income, state individual income tax collections, Federal individual income tax liabilities, state and local taxes, and the general tax effort factor.

General Revenue Sharing, Sixth Period Entitlements. Office of Revenue Sharing, Dept. of the Treasury. April 22, 1975. 440 pp.

Budget Function/Subfunction: General Revenue Sharing (851); Central fiscal operations (803).

Agency Contact: Charles G. Gallagher, Office of Revenue Sharing. 634-5170.

This document describes the revenue sharing allocation and adjustment process and tells how the final adjustments for entitlement periods are developed. It contains a listing of recipient governments showing for each the final entitlement and the amount of payment made against that entitlement. It also includes appendices showing recipient governments who have received payments that exceed their entitlements and require special adjustments; a revenue sharing summary; a listing by state of the number of governments paid to date; and a listing of the amounts paid to date by state. The amounts to be distributed to each unit of govern

ment are determined by applying to a set of formulas descriptive data pertaining to each unit. Payments to eligible units are made quarterly, based upon the units allocation for an entitlement period. To determine the amount to be allocated to each state for the period, $5.3 billion are allocated among the states according to the three factor (Senate) formula as well as the five factor (House) formula. The greater amount for each state is selected, and is compared with the sum of the amounts similarly determined for all states. The state is then allocated the resulting proportion of the appropriation for the entitlement period.

Personal Income Tax Simulation Model.

Budget Function/Subfunction: Central fiscal operations (803).

Agency Contact: Michael Bird, Economist, Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation. 225-6801.

The Treasury has developed a simulation of the individual income tax. The essential characteristics of this simulation are the representation of a large number of micro-components (taxpaying units) by a probability sample and the use of high speed computing equipment for each manipulation of the sample required by alternative tax functions and parameters. The probability sample allows the simulation results to be weighted to represent the universe of taxpayers. The Treasury's simulation of the individual income tax is accomplished by means of a simulation model. This model consists of three major components: a data file of individual income tax returns, a set of input parameters, and a computer program. The first component of the model, the data file, represents individuals who filed for the calendar year 1970 and is a stratified random sample of 95,316 income tax returns selected from the larger sample of over 276,000 returns used to prepare the tabulations published in the Statistics of Income. Each computation in the simulation is based on these data and is weighted to yield results that are representative of the population filing returns in the year the sample was selected. The second component, the set of input parameters, contains rate schedules, values for the percentage standard and minimum standard deduction, variable floors and ceilings for deductions, parameters involved in the treatment of capital gains, dividends, exemptions, and many others. Some of these parameters are defined in present law, others are not. In this respect, the parameter set is not a reflection of a specific income tax but rather a generalized structure such that the present law is a proper subset. The last component in the tax model is the computer program, which consists of three sets of instructions. The first set of instructions reads all of the tax parameters and employs them to define the tax functions contained in the second set of instructions. The second set of instructions sequentially reads the data file of income tax returns and calculates a series of output values for each return. These values are aggregated and retained for the third set of instructions which prints the values in a tabular form.
