6.0 FUNDING OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

6.1 INTRODUCTION

One of the basic principles of this Implementation Program is
that protection and recovery of the endangered fish species is a
cooperative responsibility. This specifically applies to funding
of the recovery program. The estimated expenditures for the
recovery program are divided into two areas, the funds necessary
to carry out and support research, and the monies required to
implement recovery actions based on the research. The latter
category must depend upon the results of the research and is,
therefore, not discussed herein.

6 .2 ANNUAL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM BUDGET

I--J
L_

The elements described in this document are considered necessary
for the protection and recovery of the endangered fish species.
To date, funding of the research program has been provided by the
Bureaus of Reclamation and Indian Affairs, in addition to in-kind
funding by the state resource agencies of Colorado, Utah, and New
Mexico, and Regions 2 and 6 of the Service. The availability of
funding from governmental sources is subject to the authorization
and appropriation by the federal and state legislative and tribal
governmental bodies. Nothing herein shall be construed as
obligating the Department of the Interior or any other
participant to expend money or as involving the United States in
any contract or other obligation for payment of money in excess
of appropriations authorized by law. The annual budget suggested
to fund the recovery elements described in this document totals
$1,980,000. The estimated distribution of this annual budget is
presented in Table 6-1. The actual distribution of this annual
budget will be developed as a part of the Long Range
Implementation Plan and updated annually as a part of the Annual
Work Plan.
