Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: no; New Funding: no
Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

This is a FY 2000 innovative project that is not eligible for FY 2001 funding until completion of the initial work and a final report on that work (NWPPC 2000-6).
Recommendation:
Funding Provided under FY00 contract
Date:
Sep 8, 2000

Comment:

This proposal should not be considered for FY 2001 funding because, as CBFWA's comments state, full project funding was approved under the FY2000 proposal. A contract is in place covering the four years of this project.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:

FY 2004 (10/01/03 to 09/30/04) is the last year of the project. The budget for the final two years of the project was revised by myself and my COTR (David Byrnes) in the fall of 2002 to $40,000 each fiscal year. The accrued budget for the current fiscal year will suffice to cover the remaining projected expenses for the current fiscal year, leaving the balance of $40,000 for the final fiscal year as projected.
