If a continued authorization of the enactment of new budget authority for a program has been adopted by the Senate or the House of Representatives, and has not become law as of the date on which the authorization in effect expires (unless the failure to become law has been due to a rejection of a proposed authorization by the other House), there is authorized to be enacted for the program— for the first fiscal year following the expiration of the previous authorization, 80 percent of the amount appropriated to carry out the program in the previous fiscal year; and for the second fiscal year following such expiration, 60 percent of the amount appropriated to carry out the program in the previous fiscal year.
If at any time following the expiration of an authorization of the enactment of new budget authority for a program a new authorization for the program is provided by law, then the new authorization shall replace the authorization provided in subsection (a). If a program for which an authorization of the enactment of new budget authority has previously been made is repealed, subsection
(a)shall not apply to the program. For any program for which no new budget authority is authorized to be enacted for a fiscal year (including an authorization under subsection (a)), the head of the agency carrying out the program shall develop and implement a plan to provide for— the transfer or other disposition of the records, property, and personnel affected by the termination of the program; the transfer of such unexpended balances of appropriations, and of other funds, available for use in connection with the program; and terminating the activities under the program.
