Sec. 2009. Annual budget
The Postal Service shall cause to be prepared annually a budget
program which shall be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget,
under such rules and regulations as the President may establish as to
the date of submission, the form and content, the classifications of
data, and the manner in which such budget program shall be prepared and
presented. The budget program shall be a business-type budget, or plan
of operations, with due allowance given to the need for flexibility,
including provision for emergencies and contingencies, in order that the
Postal Service may properly carry out its activities as authorized by
law. The budget program shall contain estimates of the financial
condition and operations of the Postal Service for the current and
ensuing fiscal years and the actual condition and results of operation
for the last completed fiscal year. Such budget program shall include a
statement of financial condition, a statement of income and expense, an
analysis of surplus or deficit, a statement of sources and application
of funds, and such other supplementary statements and information as are
necessary or desirable to make known the financial condition and
operations of the Postal Service. Such statements shall include
estimates of operations by major types of activities, together with
estimates of administrative expenses and estimates of borrowings. The
budget program shall also include separate statements of the amounts
which the Postal Service requests to be appropriated under subsections
(b) and (c) of section 2401 of this title. The President shall include
these amounts, with his recommendations but without revision, in the
budget transmitted to Congress under section 1105 of title 31.
