Decision Concerning the Possible Violation of the Antideficiency Act by the Obligation of Funds in Excess of the Designated Apportionment and Prior to Receiving a Signed Reapportionment from the Office of Management and Budget

By letter dated April 15, 1993, the Director of the Office of Administration for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) asked for GAO's opinion on whether the NLRB violated the Antideficiency Act by obligating funds in excess of the designated apportionment and prior to receiving a signed reapportionment from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

We conclude that a technical violation of the Antideficiency Act occurred.
