Roles, Strategies, and Program Budgeting within the Operations and Maintenance, Navy Appropriation Account

Abstract

This thesis is an analysis of the budgetary roles and strategies used in the Department of the Navy by Major Claimants, Office of the Comptroller of the Navy (NAVCOMPT). Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Office of Management and Budget. The database is a report generated by NAVCOMPT, 'Department of the Navy; Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N); Review of the FY1987 Budget. The analysis of the data supplied by NAVCOMPT suggests a plethora of findings on DON budgetary behavior. These include: claimants which request more funds receive more funds; changes in a claimant's budget request by NAVCOMPT are not final; NAVCOMPT frequently restores funds it has cut; NAVCOMPT is just as likely to add to a budget request as to subtract from the request; the OSD/OMB review has a definite cutting bias; the best predictor of a claimant's budget this year is last year's budget; and claimants do not maintain their proportional share of incremental budget changes. Keywords: PPB5 (Planning Programming and Budgeting System).
