Fast-track approval of Congressional Notifications
Printed page 271 9. Agency for International Development
“This should include eliminating the duplicative Mission and Bureau Resource Requests; speeding up the availability of appropriations by delivering to Congress within 60 days the report required by Section 653(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA); and fast-tracking the approval of Congressional Notifications (CNs) and other pre-obligation requirements.”

Moved the other way. Nothing found fast-tracks Congressional Notifications or other pre-obligation requirements; the FY2026 appropriations act adds requirements instead, subjecting transfers between humanitarian accounts to prior consultation with the Committees on Appropriations not later than seven days before the transfer, and subjecting DFC transfers, support in high-income and advancing-income countries, and Emergency Reserve Fund uses to prior consultation and the regular notification procedures.
