III. Project Summary: Wyoming's Program Management project: 1) provides staff
assistance to the Implementation, Management and Biology Committees and to
the Service in implementing the Recovery Implementation Program;
2) provides appropriate participation by the State of Wyoming on technical
committees and subcommittees: and 3) provides management and coordination
between Wyoming and other participating entities.

IV, Study Schedule: Fiscal Year 1994 was the initial year that budgetary
constraints forced the State of Wyoming to submit a scope of work to get
credit for our involvement and participation in the Recovery
Implementation Program (rather than just contributing funds for specific
Recovery Program project (s) as we had done in the past). Wyomi ng will
continue to annually submit a scope of work to receive credit for our
parti ci pat i on in the Recovery Program, hence thi s Program Management
project will continue over the life of the Recovery Program.
