This section prohibits a federal agency from reducing its total workforce by more than 5% during a fiscal year until 210 days after submitting to the Comptroller General of the United States and Congress a report analyzing the anticipated financial and mission-related impacts of the reduction. The report must include (1) estimated net financial impacts, including pay and benefits of affected employees, administrative implementation costs, and any contracting costs to replace functions; (2) descriptions of affected job functions, offices, and services (with details for any office facing over a 5% reduction), current performance data, and projected effects on agency performance, service timeliness, and customer experience; and (3) the methodological basis for the agency's conclusions. Not later than 180 days after receiving an agency report, the Comptroller General must submit to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and relevant jurisdictional committees a report assessing the agency report's completeness and the credibility of its financial and mission-related estimates, and must publish that report on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) website.
