(2) **Eliminating a breach** — Each non-exempt account within a category shall be reduced by a dollar amount calculated by multiplying the enacted level of sequestrable budgetary resources in that account at that time by the uniform percentage necessary to eliminate a breach within that category. (3) **Military personnel** — If the President uses the authority to exempt any personnel account from sequestration under [section 905(f) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title2-section905/f&num=0&edition=prelim), each account within subfunctional category 051 (other than those military personnel accounts for which the authority provided under [section 905(f) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title2-section905/f&num=0&edition=prelim) has been exercised) shall be further reduced by a dollar amount calculated by multiplying the enacted level of non-exempt budgetary resources in that account at that time by the uniform percentage necessary to offset the total dollar amount by which outlays are not reduced in military personnel accounts by reason of the use of such authority. (4) **Part-year appropriations** — If, on the date specified in paragraph (1), there is in effect an Act making or continuing appropriations for part of a fiscal year for any budget account, then the dollar sequestration calculated for that account under paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be subtracted from— (A) the annualized amount otherwise available by law in that account under that or a subsequent part-year appropriation
