Political process on Capitol Hill

Authorization A statutory provision that obligates funding for a program or agency. May be effective for one year, a fixed number of years, or an indefinite period. May be for a definite amount of money or for "such sums as may be necessary." The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization and then appropriation.appropriation

Appropriation The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes.

Regulation …is the next phase through which a primary piece of legislation is implemented … through which the administrative agency dictates exactly how to achieve the purposes set out by the primary piece of legislation.
