The FY2027 President's Budget requests $0.7M for Office of Administrative Law Judges, within FCC's Salaries & Expenses - Commission (Bureaus & Offices) account. That is down 4.1% on the FY2026 figure of $0.7M, which is the enacted appropriation.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of FCC's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
