A prohibition on FWS <br />charging overhead fees on transferred funds included in the <br />Fiscal Year 1998 Department of Interior and Related Agencies <br />Appropriations Bill passed by the Senate was dropped out by <br />the Conference Committee. These overhead fees reduce the <br />amount of funds available for recovery activities and impact <br />the Program's ability to accomplish recovery of the endangered <br />fish species. <br /> <br />4. That the Subcommittee support the continued base funding in <br />Fiscal Year 1999 of $308,000 for the FWS (Fisheries Activity; <br />Hatchery O&M Sub-activity) to operate the endangered fish <br />propagation facilities at the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge <br />in Utah as requested in the Presidents budget proposal. <br />. . <br /> <br />To provide for the continued success of this important, proactive <br />program, we need the help of the Subcommittee again this year to <br />ensure that FWS is given adequate funds and direction on how to <br />allocate its funds for recovery of'the endangered fishes in the <br />Upper Colorado River Basin.
