1-15 B. Task Number - This should be taken directly from the Narrative Outline. Include only the lowest "stepped down" tasks. As an example, in the following segment: 2.0 Protect existing populations of X plant 2.1 Build enclosures to prevent deer browsing at three population sites 2.2 Remove competing vegetation once annually The step 2.0 would not appear in the Implementation Schedule, but 2.1 and 2.2 would. C. Task DescriDtion - This may be taken verbatim from the Narrative Outline, or slightly modified for the sake of brevity. , D. Duration - Indicate whether the task is "ongoing," whether it needs to be "continuous," and the estimated number of years that will be required for its completion. E. ResDonsible Party - Indicate each FWS Region and program that will be actively involved and/or commit funds to the task. If more than one Region or organization is involved, use an asterisk to identify the lead entity. The Service need not be included if it has no financial involvement in a particular task. All other organizations involved and/or committing funds to the task should also be listed, based on coordinated decisions regarding recovery implementation task responsibilities. F. Cost Estimates - Though ideal to designate each Fiscal Year specifically, beginning with the FY subsequent to that in which the plan is approved, setting up hypothetical "FY 1, 2, 3" format is often necessary. Avoiding the hypothetical format, if at all possible, emphasizes the importance of funding and implementing tasks in a given year. Service costs should be identified separately from those of others and should include all major Service costs associated with management of the species. Although this breakdown requires additional effort and coordination with other agencies, it increases the value of the implementation schedule for Service budgeting, as well as providing an estimate, of the overall cost of the species' recovery. Costs should align with the respective entity in the Responsible Party columns. Dollars should be shown in thousands. Other agencies will also benefit by being able to show in their own budget submittals that their funds are identified in an approved recovery plan and are therefore part of the overall coordinated recovery effort for that species. ~ },- ,.., G. Comments and Notes - Other relevant information may be included here, such as required person-hours, whether this task is specified in state-level recovery plans, or other documents. This column may be left blank so that users or reviewers may make appropriate notes next to various tasks. OS/25/90
