Last week, House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut) sent a "Dear Colleague" letter outlining the process and schedule for Representatives to submit appropriations requests for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget. These may be traditional requests or Community Project Funding requests (aka “earmarks”). Members may submit requests from April 4th through the end of April, with each subcommittee posting its own deadlines. Total earmark funding will again be limited to no more than 1% of all discretionary funding, but House members may submit up to 15 requests for FY 2023, compared to 10 requests for FY 2022. The process for requesting Community Project Funding in the House is described here. The Senate has not yet announced its procedures for the FY 2023 funding cycle. The Biden Administration is set to release its FY 2023 budget request on March 28th.
