Reason for change in estimated budget

Fish and Wildlife enforcement projects in FY 1999 and FY 2000 were delayed or unfunded as per pending NPPC action. This project was not funded during the Councils' 1999 "decision period". Recent decisions by the Council have resulted in continuation of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement projects. This project previously projected FY 2001 funding needs based on 3 FTE. Since that time, 1 FTE has been secured through non-BPA cost share sources. The current proposed budget has decreased due to a reduced need for only 2 FTE.

Reason for change in scope

Scope same as that in years previously funded.

Comment:

This project did not submit a proposal in FY 2000 due to confusion on the NWPPC policy towards conservation enforcement projects. Therefore, this project was not funded in FY 2000 and will pursue funding through the within year budget modification process for FY 2000. It is expected that through that process, the same standards and requirements created for the existing two conservation enforcement projects can be established for this project.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
