Please correct. <br />46 -We don't understand the reference to footnote 2 in the table. Please clarify. <br />(WAPA) -It is unclear iftbe internet and web bullets on page 120 are related to E1 whicb <br /> is sbown as unfunded. How is El different? <br /> 04/05 budget nwnbers in the table and narrative have been corrected so that they <br />GCMRC's match, <br />Response to Somewhere along the line footnotes were converted from nwnbers to asterisk, <br />Comment However, this one was not converted, It has been corrected. <br />#46 EI is an overview of the Infonnation Office, Bullets on page 120 (in E2) are a more <br /> detailed description of this overview, EI and E2 refer to the same activity. <br />47 Line 138, what happened with this line item? Was the computer bought? <br />(WAPA) <br />GCMRC's This line item refers to computer support (not a specific computer) needed to service <br />Response to additional staff and equipment related to experimental flows, This cost is re- <br />Comment occuning and has been folded into the systems administration budget in 06, <br />#47 <br /> Admin Support <br />48 F1, USGS local network shows under system administration also. Is this a <br />(WAPA) double count? Make sure the table and numbers all match. Justification for <br />costs is identical for the OS work plan, but tbere are significant changes. Please <br /> provide a more detailed i ustification. <br /> Much of the difference between FY05 and FY06 can be attributed to the burden rate <br /> of 15%. In FY05, the gross request was $638,600 and burden has to be subtracted <br /> from that amount. In FY06, the gross amount is $726,570 that, with burden <br /> subtracted, equals $631,800 -less than what the FY05 planned budget called for <br /> with no burden deducted. <br />GCMRC's The GCMRC Systems Administration budget includes the network charges directly <br />Response to <br />Comment associated with the GCMRC system, The costs in the Administrative Operations <br />#48 budget are for the Flagstaff Science Center system expenses with which GCMRC <br />must integrate, These charges include telecommunications as well as IT and total <br /> approximately $153,000, In FY06 the costs of vehicle leasing and maintenance are <br /> increased to represent a more accurate number (approximately $56,500; and facilities <br /> and maintenance costs are reduced to a minimum estimate of $75,000, I attempted <br /> to reduce the administrative costs as much as possible to provide more funding for <br /> science activities, <br />49 Line 146 {Program Planning & Management)--We found that several oeus <br />(BAnG) could not identify all GCMRC program managers. Would you please identify <br />them for the TWG in your budeet presentation this year. <br />GCMRC's GCMRC Proeram Manaeers are: Physical and Modeling Science Programs, <br />Response to BioSciences Program, SocioCultural Program, Infonnation Program and Logistics <br />Comment Support Program (five total), <br />#49 <br /> <br />Document Reference: FY06 Master Draft AMP Budgel- BOR 0CMRC 02/17/05 II :05 AM <br />
