Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
District of Columbia Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, approved December 29, 2022 (P.L.
117-328), the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to
reprogram Fiscal Year 2023 Special Purpose Revenue funds budget authority in the amount of
$290,000 within the Public Service Commission (PSC). Budget authority is needed to cover costs
associated with online advertising and outreach efforts, audio/visual enhancements at the agency’s
headquarters, additional Information Technology (IT) needs, and leasing costs for the agency’s
automotive fleet.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from PSC has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of PSC of more than $500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority from the Utility Regulation program, Accounts
701100C (Continuing Full Time) and 701400C (Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel), to the
Agency Management program, Accounts 713100C (Other Services and Charges), 717100C
(Purchases Equipment and Machinery), and 717200C (Rentals Equipment and Other). Budget
authority is available because of vacancy savings.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on PSC’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.

Public Service Commission (DH0) 11:42:33 -04'00'
SUBJECT: Reprogramming Request – Public Service Commission (DH0) - FY 2023
DATE: June 7, 2023
Amount of the proposed reprogramming:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) requests a reprogramming of $290,000.00
within the Special Purpose Revenue budget (Fund 1060129) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023.
Why are the funds needed?
The Commission requests a reprogramming of $290,000.00 within the Special Purpose
Revenue fund to align the budget with the revised spending plans for FY 2023. The
reprogrammed funds will be used for: (1) on-line advertisement of the agency initiatives;
(2) audio / visual enhancements at agency headquarters and additional IT hardware needs;
(3) sufficient funds to cover FY23 costs of leasing the agency’s automotive fleet.
Is this reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Page 1
The funds will be reprogrammed from Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time),
701400C (Fringe Benefits) to Account Groups 713100C (Other Services and Charges),
717100C (Purchases Equipment & Machinery), and 717200C (Rentals Equipment &
Other).
Why are the funds available?
The personnel services funds for the reprogramming are available due to salary lapse
from 15 FTE positions that have been vacant on and off during the fiscal year. The non-
personnel services funds for the reprogramming are available due to change in priorities
and to support the agency’s revised spending plans.
What hardships will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this reprogramming is not approved, the Commission will not be able to cover the costs
of items that are critical to achieving program goals and objectives. As the agency has
sufficient resources for the reprogramming, postponing the actions to the subsequent fiscal
year does not present a viable choice.
What programs, services, or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action and
the impact on the program or agency?
Approval of this reprogramming will not adversely impact or delay any programs, services,
or purchases within the Commission’s FY 2023 budget.
If you have any questions, please contact me, Gurmeet Scoggins, at (202) 626-5133 or
Abukar Abdirahman, Budget Director for the Economic Development and Regulation
Cluster, at (202) 442-9541
