Identify mechanisms where by various end users may be identified and provided adequate access to appropriate data and or information. Periodic modifications in the ISMP will reflect changes in project scope and developments in data design. Management strategies may evolve based on recommendations and feedback received from peer review and/or hardware and software demands. Additional Notes: The ISMP can not, by nature, be a static document. It provides a snap shot of the state of the body of YKFP Data collected on the Klickitat basin at a certain point in time along with short and long term strategies for managing that body of data. Interaction with all the data will be ongoing. The plan will evolve as progress is made. Different aspects of the data will take the focus at different points in time.	5/1/2007	4/30/2010	$160,678

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)

Recommendation: Response requested

NPCC comments: The project sponsors should develop a coordinated response addressing the general comments provided under proposal 198811535 - Klickitat Fishery YKFP Design and specific comments provided with each proposal. Comments specific to this proposal: This proposal provides management and administrative support for YKFP activities in the Klickitat Subbasin, and coordination with the 1) Klickitat Watershed Enhancement Project 199705600; 2) Klickitat Design and Construction Projects 198811535 and 198811525; 3) Klickitat Monitoring and Evaluation 199506335; and 4) Klickitat Monitoring and Evaluation 199506325; and 5) Klickitat - Operations and Maintenance Projects 199701335 and 199701325. The proposal primarily describes tasks and responsibilities of personnel charged with financial and accounting responsibilities (payroll, budget tracking) and with key scientific personnel and their administrative duties in a broad brush presentation, rather than a detailed presentation. The rationale and significance to subbasin plans and regional programs is well described and linked into regional activities within the Columbia Gorge and with the Yakima projects, as well as other related Klickitat projects. The objective of this proposal is to provide efficient and effective policy, management and administrative support for all YFKP operations in the Klickitat Subbasin as well as coordination with Yakima Subbasin activities. Funds are requested to cover administrative and operational costs of the management structure. The objectives seem logical and appropriate, and are primarily administrative in nature. The project’s long history is documented here and in the Master Plan. No results (data) are provided, but this is an administrative project. Nonetheless, some evidence of adequate management of data and results would be a benefit.

ISRP FINAL REVIEW (Aug 31, 2006)

Recommendation: Fundable

NPCC comments: The sponsors address the questions from the ISRP specifically identified for this proposal, which provides administrative and management of the collective Klickitat subbasin projects in the Fish and Wildlife Program. They provided additional descriptions of Information System Management Planning, Data and Information Management, Data Acquisition, and Data and Information Dissemination.
