FY 2001 forecast from 2000$103,253
% change from forecast42.4%
Reason for change in estimated budget

The difference in estimated budget is due to actual anticipated expenses utilizing the four different categories listed in the proposal format. The original forecasted amount ( $103,253 ) was intended for Operations and Maintenance expenses only.

Reason for change in scope

The change in scope is due to adding funds for Planning and Design, Construction and Implementation and Monitoring and Evaluation phases. In my FY 2000 forecast I had only submitted for Operations and Maintenance funding.
