PSC Recalculates Sequestration Impact


Based on the House passage of the first continuing resolution (CR) for fiscal year 2013, PSC has recalculated the estimated annualized effect of sequestration on both the Defense Department and civilian agencies if sequestration happens on January 2, 2013. Our previous calculations are available here for comparison. 

For DoD, at the major account levels, PSC now estimates that the reduction in each “program, project and activity” will be 10.1 percent.


For the civilian agencies, at the appropriations act level, the reduction would be 8.2 percent.
