Implementation Of Automatic Adjustment Policy At The Nuclear Power Supervisory Agency (BAPETEN)

Abstract

This research aims to find out how the implementation of the Automatic Adjustment policy is carried out at BAPETEN, which is a non-ministerial institution categorized as a small budget ceiling, but has the task of meeting the 2019-2024 RPJMN target in the context of nuclear power supervision. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through data analysis and data documents from the business intelligence of the Directorate General of Budget of the Ministry of Finance, Work Plan documents on KRISNA and interviews with the BAPETEN Planning Bureau. The results of this study indicate that APBN funding for BAPETEN in the budget document has a very unequal proportion which causes funding flexibility to be very limited in meeting performance targets, especially the target of fostering, licensing, and supervising nuclear power in health, research, education and industrial facilities to realize security and safety guarantees for the use of nuclear power in the community. The process of determining the amount of budget that is given an automatic adjustment block is carried out in a mixture of top down and bottom up. Priority scale is the main consideration when determining activities that will be reduced and goods expenditure is the type of expenditure that is most affected by the cutting policy. The impact of automatic adjustment is that it causes the budget to be increasingly minimal so that the RPJMN target for five years from 2020 to 2024 is never achieved. Policy making requires caution in formulating which ones need to be taken by considering the pros and cons to maintain optimal organizational goals.
