The Biden Administration is release its FY25 budget request on March 11, 2025. I will be filling in information as I become aware of it. This blog entry will track FY25 appropriations developments for the federal statistical agencies and so will be updated accordingly. (See update log below.)

¹The BTS is funded through the Highway Trust Fund with levels determined by the authorizing committees. Congress is currently working on a transportation bill.
²The FY20, FY21, FY22 request, FY22 "Final", and FY23 Request levels for BLS includes $27 million, $13 M, $28.47M, $28.470M, and $15.4 M respectively, for its relocation. The relocation funds are are not reflected in the table to make the levels comparable with the FY19 and prior year funding levels.
³The NCES budget level includes both statistics and assessment. The levels do not include budget for National Assessment Governing Board. 
⁴The NCHS budget went through budget realignment in FY21. The prior year budgets have been adjusted to make them comparable.
⁵The ORES went through a budget restructuring in FY19 when the Office of Retirement Policy (ORP) was merged into ORES. The FY18 ORP budget was $2.253M.

⁶The BEA budget is combined with the DOC Office of the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, for which we assume the FY24 is $7 million.

Because this blog entry covers everything from the budget request to the final determination of the budget, it can become quite long. To help with that, I'll try to partition the blog entry:

• FY25 Budget Request Highlights
• Specific Agency FY25 request highlights
• Reports on the FY25 Request
• Reports on Congressional Developments
• Update log (and sources)
