10. Program Series Explained: • From OBM Budget Guidance document for FY 14-15: • The underlying organizational structure for the budget request is the description of an agency by program. • A program series corresponds with a major area of focus for an agency and is made up of one or more programs, each of which has a narrower, more targeted focus on a specific aspect of the agency’s operations. • This structure allows for a more comprehensive budget request by clearly showing what is supported by each program. • Agencies will use Program Budget Requests to convey the request for appropriations within the limitations detailed in the Guidance document.
