established. The purpose of the Technical Integration Team is to consolidate findings of RIP sponsored studies within the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program, other relevant RIP sponsored studies, and relevant studies outside the RIP for the purpose of making flow recommendations to the Service. The Technical Coordination Team will also provide internal review and guidance for studies being conducted under the auspices of the Five Year Flaming ,~ Gorge Research Program. Thhis team will be composed of one representative from Reciamation, one representative from the Service, and one representative from each agency with management responsibilities in the Green River below FGD: In addition, other individuals from the private or academic sector with recognized expertise may be appointed to the team by the lead agencies. The Technical Integration Team during FY 1995 wiN be composed of Mr. Robert Williams (Service), Mr. Lany Crist (Reclamation), Mr. Leo Lentsch (UDWR} and Dr. Rober Muth (LFL}. To ensure coordination among studies, an annual meeting will be held of the Flaming Gorge Research Team and other interested parties. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss proposed studies, review any reports compiled by the Technical Coordination Team, and assess how well the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program is meeting its objectives. ~, 3.0.5. DELIVERABLES The following items will be provided to the Biology Committee of the RIP over the duration of the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program. 1. Yearly progress reports as required by the RIP, for each individual study, prepared by the lead agency. 2. Final reports for individual completed project, prepared by the lead agency. 3. By December 31, 1995, an interim report on Flaming Gorge will be compiled by ~,,, the Service and Reclamation, assisted by the Technical Coordination Tearn. This report will synthesize results of all studies conducted to date and assess overall progress of the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program. 4. A final report, written by the Service and Reclamation, assisted by the Technical Coordination Team, to be completed after the 5 years of research. The final report will address the goals and objectives of the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program. This report will also recommend any needed refinement of Flaming Gorge operations based on the results of the research conducted 4.0. PROGRAM STUDIES Table 2 shows studies conducted under the Five Year Flaming Gorge Research Program, 1990-1995, organized by species, life event, and season (drift-net and nursery-habitat sampling was started in 1990; studies listed include those proposed for FY 1995); refer to Table 1 for associated null hypotheses. Several studies relate to more than one hypothesis and are designed to provide data having broad application among species, ichthyofaunal assemblages, and physical and other biological parameters.
