<br />000868 tt <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The scheduled FY 1991 tasks have been achieved by the Work Group. The <br />Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the Fish and wildlife service <br />(Service) committed existing staff and funds to assist in completing <br />the work tasks in FY 1991. However, to meet the schedule and complete <br />the Platte River Management Joint study (Joint study) by the end of FY <br />1993, additional funds and staff will be required by Reclamation and <br />the Service. <br /> <br />In March of 1991, the Work Group identified a total funding need of <br />$350,000 and $400,000 for FY 1992 and 1993, respectively. It was <br />proposed that the funding be included in the service budget with half <br />the funds to be transferred to Reclamation. These funds would allow <br />both agencies in cooperation with other interested entities to <br />complete the Joint Study as scheduled. without this specific funding <br />and additional staff, Reclamation and the Service cannot participate <br />at a level that would achieve the schedule presented to the <br />Coordinating Committee, and the completion of the Joint Study would be <br />delayed indefinitely. The Work Group recommends that the participants <br />in the Joint study work to secure the funding needed to complete the <br />program in FY 1993. <br />
