Indirect rate increased about 4%. The change in the estimated FY2001 budget represents a 3% inflationary increase across the budget, an increase in the number of management staff and associated salaries assigned to this budget and the inclusion of PIT tags in the budget total.
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
The increases within budget are due to Pit Tag purchase and additional support staff
