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
Pays guaranteed pension benefits to retirees and beneficiaries in terminated, underfunded single-employer defined benefit plans that PBGC has taken over as trustee.
Extracted from Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
