toward developing a workable central Platte River Habitat
Management Plan. The Work Group has been able to accomplish FY
1991 scheduled tasks, in addition to initiating development of
other tasks. Funding as presently identified cannot accomplish
the schedule presented in Figure 1. with additional staff and
funding, the remaining schedule as presented in Figure 1 for FY
92 and 93 can be achieved. However, some initial slippage will
occur since funding and staff were not in place at the start of
FY 1992.

At most, Reclamation and the Service could each devote a total of
one staff week per month to this effort without specific funding
and additional staff. If funding is not secured, Reclamation and
the Service's involvement in the Joint Study would be at a
reduced level and the completion of the study would be delayed
indefinitely. The Work Group recommends that the participants in
the Joint Study work to secure the funding needed to complete the
program in FY 1993.
