Apppropriations acts generally make budget authority (or BA)1 available for use (or obligation) at the start of the fiscal year covered by the act. For example, the FY2010 appropriations acts generally made budget authority available on October 1, 2009.2 Sometimes appropriations bills provide a different date for specified budget authority within the act to become first available so that the funding cycle does not coincide with the fiscal year generally covered by the act. There are three types of this kind of budget authority: advance appropriations, forward funding, and advance funding.
