Reason for change in estimated budget

Projected indirect rate was less than anticipated.

Reason for change in scope

The scope of this project will remain the same as in FY 2000 with the exception that one additional task will be added to the FY 2001 proposal. We propose radio tagging adult Hood River stock hatchery winter steelhead to determine if adults escaping to the Hood River subbasin narrowly home to the hatchery smolt release site or distribute themselves throughout the range of the indigenous population.

Comment:

The projected indirect rate was less than anticipated.

The scope of this project will remain the same as in FY 2000 with the exception that one additional task will be added to the FY 2001 proposal. Radio tagging adult Hood River stock hatchery winter steelhead has been proposed to determine if adults escaping to the Hood River subbasin narrowly home to the hatchery smolt release site or distribute themselves throughout the range of the indigenous population. This task was performed in 1994-96 with wild fish and in 1999 with hatchery fish to establish the baseline data. Tagging has been planned, but was not specifically proposed in FY 2000. The CEOR SRT does not feel that this is a change in scope for this project.

Comment:

Spending cap of 409000. 02 that showed up in 03 was paid out of current contract. Tried to pick up some of these costs through other savings. Should be right on pace for accruals. Could be 02 costs spilling over into 03. Could have spent 300K for FY03 and some of 02 that got billed into here. Might have to add 60K for FY03 to cover. Work in 04 and 05 would stay consistent and on track.
