Overview of Operation and Maintenance Budget Accounts

Abstract

This paper describes recent trends in O&M spending, both in the aggregate and disaggregated by service and type of activity. In addition, the paper touches on the link between O&M and readiness and offers a projection of future O&M costs under the assumption of constant operating levels. This study represents the initial phase of CBO's analysis of readiness and O&M spending. The final version of the study will attempt to define what parts of the O&M appropriation most affect readiness and will make projections of requirements for O&M under assumptions other than constant operating levels. The paper was prepared at the request of Senator Lawton Chiles, Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Budget Committee. ln keeping with CBO's mandate to provide objective and impartial analysis, this paper makes no recommendations.
