Due to the variability of the credit amount, Reclamation is no longer budgeting for this item beginning in FY 2020. Comment: A commenter asked for the balance of Post-Retirement Benefits (PRB) collections in the accounts for the current and previous marketing periods. Response: While there are not separate accounts for PRB collections, Reclamation and WAPA identified PRB balances for the two marketing periods requested. The PRB balance for the marketing period concluded in FY 2017 totals $30,929,279. As of the end of FY 2018, the PRB balance for the marketing period beginning in FY 2018 totals $1,729,545. Comment: A commenter asked why Reclamation’s PRB budget increased in FY 2020. Response: There are three components of PRB: (1) Civil Service Retirement System and Federal Employee Retirement System costs, (2) Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) costs, and (3) Federal Employee Group Life Insurance costs. PRB budget projections are calculated using a fiveyear average of expenditures. The fiveyear average included in the FY 2020 PRB budget rose primarily due to an increase in FEHB costs in FY 2018. PRB historical expenditures and projections are available on WAPA’s website.
