the budget officer shall prescribe.

3. The budget officer annually shall notify the head of each
administrative unit and authorized agency in writing of (a) the date
fixed by or pursuant to subdivision one of this section on or before
which the estimate of revenues and expenditures or request for an
appropriation, as the case may be, must be submitted, and (b) the form
of, and information to be contained in, such estimate or request. Such
notice shall be given not less than twenty days prior to such date.

4. In the event that the head of an administrative unit fails to
submit an estimate by the date specified by or pursuant to subdivision
one of this section, the budget officer forthwith shall prepare an
estimate for such administrative unit.
