Labor 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 Labor's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Provides traditional financial assistance to insolvent multiemployer pension plans so they can pay PBGC-guaranteed benefits and reasonable administrative expenses.
Extracted from Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
