Section 10
SEC. 10. Submission of budget estimates by departments and agencies.—Each head of department or agency shall submit his request for appropriations to the Budget Commissioner on or before a date he shall determine and in accordance with such regulations as he may issue in conformity with the general requirements of this Act. Budget estimates for all operating departments and agencies shall be divided into two primary categories— the current operating expenditures and the capital outlays —prescribed on the basis of major functions, activities, and projects, so arranged as to show the general character and relative importance of the work to be accomplished or the services to be rendered, and the principal elements of costs involved. To this end, budget estimates shall be supported by: Personnel schedules showing in summary form the proposed employment of personnel grouped by salary grades, without regard to job-title or designations, except for key positions. Brief narrative description of the nature of the work to be performed and explanation of the significance and scope of each program by activity, service, end-product or benefit, the unit cost involved, and whatever changes in emphasis there may be over previous years, together with a comparable progress report of the work accomplished and under way.
