<br />The participants and their designated responsibilities for each <br /> <br />subactivity are listed in'Tab1e 1 (also refer to Figure 2). <br /> <br />1472 <br /> <br />Section V--Work Schedules and Funding Plans <br />A. Schedule of Activities <br /> <br />Table 2 displays the schedule proposed for accomplishing all the <br /> <br />activities described in Section III of this memorandum of agreement. <br /> <br />B. Funding Plans <br />Table 3 summarizes the budgeted expenditures for each fiscal year <br />by object classification. The total estimated budget for the three fiscal <br />years is $196,000. <br /> <br />The Missouri River Basin Commission retains the authority to control <br /> <br />the expenditure of all monies made available from WRC. <br />MRBC staff will provide as much technical assistance to the states <br />as is practicable in order to obtain the state inputs for the regional <br /> <br />assessment. Extensive travel will be required to achieve this in the <br /> <br />vast Missouri region. Most of the burden of travel will be placed <br />upon MRBC staff rather than upon federa1- and state-agency participants <br /> <br />in order to maximize the actual study time available to regional assessment <br /> <br />participants and to make the best use of limited assessment funds. <br />An additional $86,000 will be requested by the Missouri River Basin <br />Commission to conduct the specific problem analysis activities in the <br />Missouri Region. The additional funding will be used by the Missouri <br />River Basin 'Commission to articulate the indispensable state/regional <br />viewpoint concerning water and related problems and issues and to display <br />and describe this viewpoint in a nationally consistent format. To obtain <br /> <br />viewpoint and also to have maximum value to users, the states must have <br />a major role in the assessment efforts. It should be noted that the <br />states must commit substantial manpower and funds to an assessment mandated <br />at the federal level, for which no state appropriations have been programmed, <br /> <br />-12- <br />
