"(1) EFFECTS OF SEQUESTRATION. —The effects of sequestration shall be as follows: "(1) Budgetary resources sequestered from any account other than a trust or special fund account shall be permanently cancelled. "(2) Except as otherwise provided, the same percentage sequestration shall apply to EQI programs, projects, and activities within a budget account (with programs, projects, and activities as delineated in the appropriation Act or accompany- ing report for the relevant fiscal year covering that account, or for accounts not included in appropriation Acts, as delineated in the most recently submitted President's budget). "(3) Administrative regulations or similar actions implementing a sequestration shall be made within 120 days of the sequestration order.
