    paragraph_quote: 14.1 INTRODUCTION Congress appropriates program funds to the
      Agency for loan guarantees for each fiscal year (FY) basis (October 1 through
      September 30). If Congress has not approved appropriated funds at the beginning
      of a fiscal year, the program may continue to be authorized and delivered under
      a Continuing Resolution until appropriated funds for the fiscal year are approved
      by Congress. While the Agency operates under a Continuing Resolution, the Budget
      Office receives funds that are allotted to the program according to the duration
      of the Continuing Resolution. Throughout this period, funds are allotted based
      on a percentage of the total days for which the Continuing Resolution remains
      in effect. The denominator used in this calculation can be either the amount
      of funds obligated in the previous year or the program level authorized in the
      Continuing Resolution. This chapter describes the funding priority process and
      Agency actions when funds are limited. It also outlines the Agency procedure
      to request funds from the National Office reserve.
