<br />VI. How is this study contributing to recovery? <br /> <br />Program management funds are not used to support a specific study or project. These <br />funds are used to insure sound management and supervision of Recovery <br />Implementation Program studies funded or conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />Funds reserved for Program Management are allocated to administer funding <br />agreements and participate and serve on the various technical committees, <br />Management funds are vital to insuring that Reclamation's contributions to the <br />program are properly administered and that funds are transferred to the Program <br />participants in a timely and efficient manner, These activities are not direct recovery <br />oriented actions but are essential for administration of programs to achieve Recovery <br />Program goals, <br /> <br />vn. FY 93 Tasks and Deliverables: <br /> <br />A. Administration of six cooperative agreements, These included agreements <br />with the States of Colorado and Utah, the Larval Fish Laboratory (Colorado <br />State University), University of California (UCLA), Arizona State University <br />(ASU) and Eastern Washington University. <br />B, Administration of two interagency acquisitions, These included agreements <br />with Region 2 and Region 6 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, <br />C.
