Federal Trade Comm discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Federal Trade Comm's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Enforces the antitrust laws through civil litigation against anticompetitive conduct and conducts premerger review of proposed transactions under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act to protect competition for consumers, workers, and businesses.
Extracted from Salaries and Expenses, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
