**Examples/Notes:** All costs associated with updating and submittal of
Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB).

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Includes all costs associated with establishing partnerships, the
inspection and conversion of Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB)
updated by the BLM or another agency, tribal, state or local government,
or private organization (the township coordinates have been collected to
BLM specifications), including operations and maintenance (O&M) by
another agency, government, or organization. Costs include the
converting of Public Land System Coordinate Computation System (PCCS)
collected townships to Geographic Measurement Management (GMM). Costs
include submittal to the GCDB National Home Page. Only annual
accomplishments, not cumulative are reported. Includes consultation
costs associated with Indian Trust lands: Trust programs on Indian lands
(cadastral survey and minerals on Trust lands), assessing the impacts of
public land activities on Indian Trust lands, and the analysis of the
impact of public land activities on off reservation treaty rights. Costs
for producing amended protraction diagrams will also be coded to this
program element.

This workload measure will be reported only after the townships are
collected, GIS validated and submitted to the GCDB National Home Page.
For townships that cannot be posted on the Home Page due to Indian Trust
issues, the townships may be reported if the survey information has been
GIS validated, and is made accessible to the stakeholders.

Amended protraction diagrams: Each amended protraction diagram produced
will count as one unit under this workload measure.

Listed separately in the BM comment field will be the number of
townships updated and submitted to the GCDB National Home Page: 1) in
partnership and 2) with Indian Trust Land.

**Unit of Measure:** Number of Townships

Beginning Fiscal Year 2002, the workload measure will be only those
townships updated through GIS validation and submitted to the GCDB
National Home Page. These Workload Measures include all townships
(regardless of the status of the land or the funding source), except BL
townships. Only annual accomplishments, not cumulative, are reported.

Listed separately in the BM comment field will be the number of
townships updated and submitted to the GCDB National Home Page: 1) in
partnership and 2) with Indian Trust Land.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** Computer systems accessed/used to
collect measurements of performance (Workload Measure). Measurements are
collected at the EOY for Lands and Realty.

**Strategic Plan Mission Goal:** SIO.1.4 - Promote respect for private

**Project Code:** For all funds provided through Central Funding, code
expenses to GCDB. Do not use GCDB when coding costs if funds other than
Central Funding are used. For Amended Protraction Diagrams (CAPD),
National Spatial Data Standard (NSDS), Western Governors\' Cadastral
Project (WCAD). Indian Trust Activities and Programs (TRST) for all
units of output in the MIS. Note, when entering workload measures into
the MIS, if two project codes are in conflict including TRST, use TRST.

Program Element BN

**Inventory Water Resources**

**Examples/Notes:**

-   Data collection that focuses on understanding the condition,
    location and extent of surface and groundwater resources is
    considered inventory.

-   If the driving purpose for a macro-invertebrate inventory is used as
    an indicator of water quality standards or water quality inventory
    related, assign the cost to BN. If the driving purpose for a
    macro-invertebrate inventory is determining aquatic system or and/or
    fisheries habitat condition and/or functionality, the cost should be
    coded to BU or BV. Similarly, other water resources inventory that
    is collected as part of an aquatic, fisheries, or riparian habitat
    inventory should be coded to BU or BV.

-   If the water resources inventory cost is in support of water rights,
    including collection of condition, maintenance needs, and use data
    for developed and undeveloped water sources on public lands, assign
    the cost to EC.

-   If the water resources inventory cost is directly related to the
    field work (including equipment acquisition) that supports instream
    flow work assign the cost to BN. All other non-field Water Resource
    Inventory costs in support of instream flows should be coded to EC
    (e.g. meetings, strategy development, data analysis and
    interpretation).

-   Gaging stations are an inventory of water resources and not
    monitoring. Their costs, including the costs of any associated water
    quality sampling and analyses collected as a part of the station
    operation, will be assigned to BN.

-   Precipitation stations or gages associated with other water
    resources inventory instrumentation and activity should be
    considered a part of water resources inventory and costs assigned to
    BN. However, precipitation and other climate related inventory
    information and costs associated with RAWS/REMS, NADP/NTN and
    IMPROVE installations should be assigned to MI, Air Resource and
    Climatological Monitoring and Evaluation.

-   All water resources inventory that is supporting Abandoned Mine Land
    assessments should be assigned to BH, all water resources inventory
    supporting Hazardous Materials site risk identification and
    assessment should be assigned to BF.

-   Well point data are used as a low cost monitoring technique to
    understand groundwater-surface water interactions. The costs
    associated with well point data should be assigned to MU and not to
    BN.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Number of inventory stations at which water resources inventory takes
place. This includes data collected on the quality and quantity of
surface water and groundwater. Also includes inventory of stream-flow
(discharge), temperatures associated with water thermal regime,
turbidity, sediment, electrical conductivity, pH, precipitation, and
other water quality constituents. This Program Element normally includes
costs associated with measuring stream channel geometry for
classifications purposes, and floodplain inventory. Any exceptions are
noted above in the first section of Examples/Notes.

If the inventory station can be directly associated with a single BLM
use authorization, those costs should be coded to the Program Element
associated with that use authorization (for example, baseline inventory
in a groundwater aquifer that could be affected by a coal lease would be
coded to EL). If the inventory cannot be associated with a single use
authorization, or if the inventory is rooted in multiple-use
authorizations and there is no logical predominant use authorization
that can be determined and used, then use this Program Element, BN.

Cost categories that apply to this Program element are costs associated
with collection, analysis, interpretation of water resources inventory
data including the cost, installation, and maintenance of equipment,
laboratory costs, and publication of data, and data management.

**Unit of Measure:** Number of inventory stations. If a station involves
more than one parameter, report one unit for each parameter. For
Example, if discharge, dissolved oxygen, and temperature are all
measured at a station, three \"stations\" should be counted. Report
accomplishments when the information has been entered into a database or
other electronic storage format.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** No national BLM database exists. If
no BLM database has been developed for your state or unit, use your
State DEQ\'s water quality database, the EPA\'s STORET system or the
Forest Service\'s Water Module of their NRIS (in areas where access to
NRIS has been made available to the BLM).

Program Element BO

**Inventory Soil Resources**

**Examples/Notes:** Soil inventory can be made at four levels of detail,
Orders I, II, III, or IV. Order I is the most intensive level of detail
and is generally charged to the project requiring the work. The BLM
usually carries out soil inventory at the Order III level. All levels
are defined in the National Soils Survey Handbook.

**Program Element Descriptions:** Soils Inventory includes all costs
associated with:

1.  labor in the field and the office

2.  data management support

3.  GIS support

4.  contracts/interagency agreements

5.  equipment purchase/lease

**Unit of Measure:**

Data will be submitted by field offices to the State Office. Each State
Office will submit the Acres Mapped to the WO at the completion of the
field work. Units of accomplishment will be submitted to the WO within
one month of completion of field work with supporting provisional
documentation to be completed within six months. Handbook (Title 430-VI-
NSSH).

Soil inventory protocol will follow standards prescribed in the current
version of the National Soils Handbook.

Program Element BP

**Assess Watersheds**

**Examples/Notes:**

Offices conducting land health assessments on a watershed basis must
code their work to this Program Element, BP, and report units of
accomplishments as acres assessed.

This Program Element is closely related to another Program Element, MJ,
Land Health Evaluations and Determinations. All allotment-based land
health evaluations/determinations must report units of accomplishment
(allotments evaluated) under MJ and charge costs to MJ.

Any land health determination that is not done on a watershed basis
should not code any work or accomplishments to the BP Program Element.

Watershed assessments and re-assessment of watersheds not associated
with land health determinations should also code work and
accomplishments to this Program Element, BP.

Costs associated with development of Water Quality Management Plans,
watershed restoration plans, or watershed activity plans should be coded
to DF, Interdisciplinary Activity Plans.

Example: A watershed based assessment is conducted for all of Watershed
0000000001, which includes Allotments A and B, and a portion of
Allotment C. The evaluation of the rangeland health standards is
completed for the watershed and the determination is signed. The manager
then decides to complete an allotment evaluation on Allotment C, but not
a comprehensive watershed assessment on the portion of Allotment C
outside of Watershed 000000001. The time spent assessing Watershed
0000000001 should already have been coded to Program Element BP, and the
acres of Watershed Assessment (all of Watershed 0000000001) reported in
program element BP. However, the time spent to develop the allotment
evaluation for Allotment C should be coded to program element MJ. The
time spent assembling, assessing and interpreting information for the
Allotment C evaluation should also be coded to program element MJ (data
collection is monitoring or inventory and coded to the appropriate
program element). The time spent developing the Determination document
for the watershed/allotments should also be coded to program element MJ.
3 units of accomplishment (Allotments A,B and C) would be reported in
program element MJ.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

A watershed-based land health evaluation addresses, at a minimum: the
four Fundamentals of Land Health; achievement of land health standards,
conformance of land use activities with guidelines, and whether an
existing management practice is a significant factor for not achieving
standards.

A watershed assessment is an analysis and interpretation of the
physical, ecological, and landscape characteristics of a watershed using
scientific principles to describe conditions as they affect various
resources of concern. It addresses a broader suite of issues and
resources than a watershed-based land health evaluation. A
watershed-based land health evaluation can be a subset of a broader
watershed assessment.

Code to Program Element BP all costs associated with watershed
assessments and watershed-based land health evaluations and
determinations, such as:

1.  Interdisciplinary review of all available data and information to
    evaluate achievement of Land Health Standards and land use plan or
    other management objectives.

2.  Conducting public outreach for the assessment/evaluation.

3.  Display, interpretation and synthesis of information.

4.  Preparing the assessment report and determination document.

5.  GIS support, data management support, contracts/Interagency
    agreements, equipment purchase/lease/rental.

**Unit of Measure:** Acres of public lands assessed. If non-BLM lands
are assessed to the same level as the public lands, you may include
non-BLM acres as units of accomplishment. For BLM participation in
State/Tribal Unified Watershed Assessments, only count BLM acres. Report
units of accomplishment when the assessment document is completed. When
reporting accomplishments in the MIS, record in the comment field the
hydrologic unit code(s) of the watershed that were assessed and the
acres of BLM land assessed.

Program Element BQ

**Complete Ecological Site Inventory**

**Examples/Notes:** BLM Handbook H-1734-7 provides the standards and
guidance for conducting an Ecological Site Inventory on the public
rangelands.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Includes all labor and operational costs associated with conducting
Ecological Site Inventories (ESI), such as: 1) Planning for the
inventory, 2) Labor in the field and the office, 3) GIS support, 4) Data
management support, 5) Contracts/Interagency agreements, and 6)
Equipment purchase/lease/rental.

Ecological Site Inventory is the Bureau of Land Management\'s standard
vegetation inventory procedure. It involves the mapping of ecological
sites, vegetation communities, and the systematic sampling of these
sites to, at a minimum, determine above ground annual production on all
vegetation species. All techniques used are patterned after those
identified in the Natural Resource Conservation Services\' National
Range and Pasture Handbook 1997.

Information collected is used to determine site potential for numerous
land uses, including what are appropriate benchmarks for ecological
condition for that site.

**Unit of Measure:**

Number of Acres completed (inventoried) using the ESI method. To the
nearest 1,000 acres.

Each field office will report the following information to the National
Science & Technology Center: grazing allotment name and number, number
of ESI acres completed, date completed and type of management plan, if
applicable for acres inventoried during the reporting fiscal year.

Each state is responsible for summarizing the field offices ESI
information. Provide state\'s ESI information to national Science and
Technology Center (NSTC) by October 15 to obtain credit for previous
fiscal year work accomplished. The information will be summarized by
NSTC in the annual \"National Rangeland Inventory, Monitoring, and
Evaluation Report.\"

**System Interface/Data Elements:** Data collected will be entered in
the BLM Inventory Data System for storage at the NSTC.

vegetation types including qualitative upland assessment (inventory),
GAP analysis, vegetation cover type inventories not covered more
specifically in other inventories (see below) and other remote sensing
methods collecting general or specific vegetation baseline data.
Includes shrub and grass lands having 10% or less tree canopy cover with
an intent to manage as shrub and grass lands in the future. Forested
areas intended to be converted to rangelands are to be considered shrub
and grass lands, not forestlands, regardless of the amount of existing
canopy cover.

Includes all labor and operating costs associated with accomplishing the
shrub, grassland inventory defined above.

Does not include: Watershed assessments or monitoring, Ecological Site
Inventory (BQ), Forest Vegetation Inventory (BT), Weed Inventory (BS),
Wildlife and Plant Inventory (CB), Rangeland Health Standards (MJ).

**Unit of Measure:** None

**System Interface/Data Elements:**

Program Element BS

**Inventory for Presence of Invasive and / or Noxious Weeds**

**Examples/Notes:** Although recommended, the WEED project code is no
longer necessary for this program element. However, the WEED project
code should be used with any other PE where time and/or work for weeds
is coded. For example for Prevention, Education AA, WEED. When working
in JD and MK, use the project code that is required for the Rangeland
Improvement Project System (RIPS).

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Total number of acres inventoried for the presence of non-native
invasive plants and/or noxious weeds.

All appropriate labor and operational costs associated with weed
treatments. This could include, but is not limited to: employee salary,
travel costs, vehicle costs, purchase of equipment (GPS units, etc.),
contract costs and map costs (GIS, base maps).

**Unit of Measure:**

Weed inventory includes the number of acres systematically checked for
the presence or absence of non-native invasive plants and/or noxious
weeds. Includes information collected by BLM and other cooperators.
Intensity of inventory can range from broad reconnaissance to intensive
site-specific surveys.

Actual inventory results will be reported in the Weed Inventory and

**Inventory Forest/Woodland Vegetation**

**Examples/Notes:** None

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Acres of forest and woodland inventoried by methods that quantify the
spatial distribution, composition, and rates of change for forest
parameters \-- within specified levels of precision \-- for the purpose
of developing management prescriptions. Forested land is defined as land
having 10% or greater tree canopy cover with an intent to manage for
tree canopy cover in the future. Forested areas intended to be converted
to rangelands are not to be considered forested land, regardless of the
amount of existing canopy cover (report this type of inventory under
Workload Measure BR).

Appropriate charges include actual inventory or identified surveys, and
all costs associated with planning, preparing and administering any
inventory or identified survey contracts. Overhead and support costs may
be charged to this program element. While overhead and support costs may
be charged to a program element, they must not be charged to subactivity
5900 (See Instruction Memorandum No. 98-87).

**Unit of Measure:**

Only report acres where inventory protocols, results, and/or analysis
have been documented. Inventories should be statistically sound with
meaningful measures and specified objectives. Acres accomplished should
be considered as the entire population of the acres to which the
sampling system is applied. Acres should be determined using
professionally accepted ground survey or aerial photography
interpretation techniques.

Includes extensive and intensive forest inventories, walk-thru forest
surveys, stand exams, field reconnaissance for insect & disease
occurrences and field plots for determining forest conditions and
treatments. Do not include Forest Inventory and Assessment or Insect and
Disease Surveys conducted by the Forest Service. Inventory for the
primary purposes of wildlife, riparian, fisheries, recreation, range,
and/or fuels management parameters are to be reported elsewhere.

Forest regeneration/stocking surveys are reported in Workload Measure
MB. For purposes of reporting under this Workload Measure, timber sale
cruises are not considered inventories (see Workload Measures HD and
JE).

**System Interface/Data Elements:** Systems currently under development
include MICRO \*STORMS for the O&C and FORVIS (Forest Vegetation
Information System) for the PD.

Program Element BU

**Inventory Lakes/Wetland Areas**

**Examples/Notes:** If the driving purpose for the inventory is
determining aquatic system and/or fisheries habitat conditon and/or
functionality, the cost should be coded to BU. If the driving purpose
for the inventory is to determine water quality conditions (i.e.,
whether stadardsa re beign met), assign the cost to BN.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Number of acres of lakes or wetlands inventoried. This includes data
collection that focuses on understanding the condition and/or
functionality of both fisheries habitat and wetland/shoreline vegetation
resources and presence/absence, abundance, range and/or distribution of
lake/reservoir/wetland species (including Special Status Species) in
order to describe existing baseline conditions. The scale of mapping for
wetlands is generally smaller, and more discrete, than other Bureau
vegetation inventories, and can supplement those efforts. Aquatic
habitat inventories are generally geared toward species of specific
interest, while wetlands inventories tend to focus more on lakeside
vegetation. Reassessment of condition utilizing proper functioning
condition or other methodologies should be reported under MN. Species
population monitoring, where the trend of the species is assessed,
should be coded to MR.

All labor and operating costs associated with documenting habitat
conditions for lake/reservoir aquatic species and lake/reservoir wetland
vegetation.

**Unit of Measure:** Report by acres accomplished. Acres inventoried are
those where information has been physically collected either through
direct field measurement or by means of extrapolation such as through
remote sensing/photo interpretation or statistical inference means and
has resulted in the synthesis, analysis, interpretation and
documentation and reporting of the collected information. For wetlands
inventory, the guidance contained in Technical Reference 1737-11

Program Element BV

**Inventory Streams/Riparian Areas**

**Examples/Notes:** If the driving purpose for a macro-invertebrate
inventory is to determine aquatic system ad/or fisheries habitat
condition and/or functionality, then the activity should be coded to BV.
Similarly, water quality data collection which is part of an aquatic,
fisheries or riparian habitat inventory should be coded to BV. If the
driving purpose for a macroinvertebrate inventory is to determine water
quality conditions, assign the cost to BN.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Number of miles of stream/river habitat or riparian vegetation
inventoried. This includes data collection that focuses on understanding
the condition of both instream aquatic habitat, channel morphology,
hydrology and streambank riparian resources and presence/absence,
abundance, range and/or distribution of riparian-dependent or aquatic
species(including Special Status Species) in order to describe existing
conditions. The scale of mapping is generally smaller, and more
discrete, than other Bureau vegetation inventories, and can supplement
those efforts. Aquatic habitat inventories are generally geared toward
species of specific interest, while riparian inventories tend to focus
more on streamside conditions. Reassessment of condition utilizing
proper functioning condition or other methodologies should be reported
under MO.

All labor and operating costs associated with documenting habitat
condition and species occurrence for aquatic species and streamside
riparian vegetation.

**Unit of Measure:**

Inventory is reported to the nearest whole mile

Report by miles accomplished. Miles inventoried are those where
information has been physically collected either through direct field
measurement or remote sensing/photo interpretation means and has
resulted in the synthesis, analysis, interpretation documentation and
reporting of the collected information. For riparian inventory, the
guidance contained in Technical Reference 1737-9 applies. Typically, the
aquatic inventory and the riparian inventory are distinct inventory
methodologies with one inventory occurring within the water body and the
other adjacent to the water, even along the same stream reach.
Therefore, each inventory method will be reported.

**Manage Public Land Records**

**Examples/Notes:** Creation or update of Serial Register Pages are part
of the case processing workload, and should be coded to the appropriate
program element (e.g., EI, EQ, HN, and others).

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Public Land Records Management includes all costs associated with the
creation, except cadastral survey plats and field notes and maintenance
of the Public Land Tenure Records. All costs required to provide public
access to those records, and the management and docketing of those
records, as well as all costs of posting these records to a web site.

Includes managing cadastral and patent records, ANCSA 17(b) easement
records, master title plats, legal land descriptions, archiving,
scanning and microfilming. Also includes the work associated with the
filing of the Western States duplicate cadastral survey records filed at
Eastern States.

**Unit of Measure:**

Number of patent records, master title and use plats, historical
indices, or tract book records created or updated. Includes ANCSA 17(b)
easement maps and 17(b) easement data base records.

One township plat, one patent record, one Historical Index page, one
Track Book Page, one 17(b) easement map or the data base for one 17(b)
easement equates to one legal land description equates to one record.
Count by record, the number of records created or updated to reflect a
new action. There should be no count for record notations to correct
errors in manual or automated systems. The result would be
double-counting: once for the initial record notation, and a second time
for the correction to make it right. There should be no count for
providing certified copies of records.

    source inventoried and documented is counted as an action taken;
    however, do not \"double-count\" sites that must be revisited to
    collect additional data.

2.  the substantive completion of a filing for a new water right
    application or under State water law, even though the BLM may not
    receive final approval of the water right in the same Fiscal Year.

3.  State applications filed for changes in place/type for existing
    water rights transfers, exchanges or leases.

**Evaluate Recreation Areas**

**Examples/Notes:** The acres within recreation sites or areas evaluated
to determine whether or not specific recreation management objectives
are being met. Recreation management objectives are established in
resource management plans, recreation activity plans, or
interdisciplinary planning documents. Evaluations may be triggered by
specific time periods identified within the planning document, by
reaching established thresholds of a resource or social indicator, or by
a management decision to determine if recreation management objectives
are still valid within any recreation site or area. The evaluations
would relate to objectives concerning physical, social, managerial
settings and/or resource conditions. Evaluations are documented and
recommendations made, resulting either in a continuation or a change in
management prescriptions or practices.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Recreation site/area objectives evaluated for Special and Extensive
Recreation Management Areas, Recreation sites including fee sites, ACECs
(including Natural Areas), caves, Natural and National Historic
Landmarks, National Recreation Areas, and Watchable Wildlife Areas or
Off Highway Vehicle use. Work and costs includes monitoring of
on-the-ground actions, evaluation as to whether the management actions
taken are meeting the planning objectives, and permanent documentation
of findings.

The process for this program element is as follows:

1.  Schedule evaluation in AWP based on management plan or management
    decision.

2.  Identify specific recreation objectives to be evaluated; and

3.  Produce an evaluation report which documents findings.

**Monitor Air Resources/Climatic Conditions**

**Examples/Notes:** A continuous precipitation gauge associated with a
hydrologic streamflow gauge would be a reportable unit under this
Program Element. However, a hydrologic streamflow gauge alone would not
be a reportable unit under this Program Element.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Includes all work associated with air resource and climatological
monitoring and evaluation including planning for, collecting and
evaluating the data. This includes GIS support, equipment, data
management, contracts/interagency agreements and other support.

Monitoring is reported when all scheduled monitoring is completed in the
Fiscal Year. For example, although the station is read quarterly,
reporting will only be completed once when all studies are collected and
documented for the year.

**Unit of Measure:**

Number of locations (stations) collecting air resource data (regardless
of number of individual sensors) to provide air quality or meteorology
data to be used to analyze the effectiveness of management practices
and/or evaluating trends towards meeting land use condition objectives
or any other established standards. Note that non-recording
precipitation storage gauge data collection used to evaluate Allotment
vegetation conditions is to be charged to ML.

The following are examples of stations reportable under this Program
Element:

-   Remote Automatic Weather Station/Remote Environmental Monitoring
    Station (RAWS/REMS) used to support Fire Management pre-suppression
    and suppression actions.

-   Air quality monitoring station operated to understand the condition
    of public lands, regardless of ownership, such as the National Acid
    Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN), Interagency
    Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE), etc.

Program Element MJ

**Evaluate Rangeland Health**

**Examples/Notes:**

1.  This program element has a direct linkage to another program
    element, BP, Watershed Assessment. Offices conducting comprehensive
    rangeland health evaluations on a watershed scale should be coding
    most of their costs to program element BP, and reporting units of
    accomplishments as acres assessed in that element.

2.  The portion of work done on any watershed-based rangeland health
    evaluation/determination that cannot or should not be considered a
    watershed assessment (e.g., the determination) should be coded to
    MJ.

3.  All watershed-based rangeland health evaluations will report at
    least a portion of the work under program element MJ. All
    watershed-based rangeland health evaluations will report units of
    accomplishment (allotments evaluated) under MJ. These same
    evaluations will also report acres assessed under program element
    BP.

4.  Any allotment evaluation that is not conducted on a watershed basis
    should not code any costs or report accomplishments to the BP
    program element. In these instances, all work should be coded to
    program element MJ.

Example: A watershed based assessment is conducted for all of Watershed
0000000001, which includes Allotments A and B, and a portion of
Allotment C. The evaluation of the rangeland health standards is
completed for the watershed and the determination is signed. The manager
then decides to complete an allotment evaluation on Allotment C, but not
a comprehensive watershed assessment on the portion of Allotment C
outside of Watershed 000000001. The time spent assessing Watershed
0000000001 should already have been coded to Program Element BP, and the
acres of Watershed Assessment (all of Watershed 0000000001) reported in
program element BP. However, the time spent to develop the allotment
evaluation for Allotment C should be coded to program element MJ. The
time spent assembling, assessing and interpreting information for the
Allotment C evaluation should also be coded to program element MJ (data
collection is monitoring or inventory and coded to the appropriate
program element). The time spent developing the Determination document
for the watershed/allotments should also be coded to program element MJ.
3 units of accomplishment (Allotments A,B and C) would be reported in
program element MJ.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Land Health Evaluations and determinations include all costs associated
with the reportable unit such as:

1.  Interdisciplinary review of all available data and information to
    evaluate Land Health Standards and achievement of land use plan
    objectives in an allotment.

**Monitor Grazing Allotments**

**Examples/Notes:** NOTE: Monitoring is reported when all scheduled
monitoring, as defined in the allotment monitoring plan, is completed in
the Fiscal Year. For example, if the allotment monitoring plan calls for
3 trend plots to be read, actual use to be collected, utilizations to be
read then report one allotment monitored when all studies are collected
and documented for the year. Or if the schedule only requires doing a
utilization study for the year then report one allotment monitored upon
completion and documentation of the study. For each field office (name
and number), enter allotment name & number, enter acres monitored, enter
date monitoring was completed, and enter type of management plan
(AMP\'s, CRMP\'s, etc.), if it applies.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Grazing Allotments Monitored includes all costs associated with
allotment monitoring such as: planning for the monitoring, data
gathering, labor in the field and the office, GIS support, data
management support, contracts/interagency agreements and equipment
purchase/lease/rental.

Allotment monitoring relates specifically to data collection which is
needed to analyze the effectiveness of management practices, restoration
measures or project/treatments in achieving and/or measuring movement
toward land use objectives and/or rangeland health standards. It
includes any form of reoccurring data collection that will assist in
characterizing the allotment, such as vegetation production,
utilization, use pattern mapping and actual use.

This does not include the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of the
data, or determination of whether rangeland health standards are
achieved (PE=MJ).

**Unit of Measure:** Complete Monitoring Report when all of the various
data collection has occurred on the allotment. Report only once during
the report year regardless of the number of different types of studies
made or the data collected. Each state is responsible for summarizing
the field offices monitoring information. Provide state\'s allotment
monitored information to the National Science and Technology Center by
October 15 to obtain credit for previous fiscal year work accomplished.

**Monitor Species Populations**

**Examples/Notes:** None

**Program Element Descriptions:**

All labor and operating costs associated with documenting population
status and trend.

This work includes the collection, evaluation and reporting of species
population information (including Special Status Species) necessary to
determine if management decisions are being met. Monitoring is different
from inventory in that a specific hypothesis or question is tested
(e.g., are population trends stable, declining or increasing?). For
purposes of consistency, any site established for monitoring species
populations will be considered a population (e.g., 180 bald eagle sites
monitored is a more accurate reflection of the work, rather than
reporting 1 population of bald eagles; 3 smolt traps in a basin to
monitor chinook salmon are count as 3 sites, and hence 3 populations
monitored).

**Unit of Measure:** Report by number of populations monitored.
Populations monitored are those where information has been physically
collected through direct field measurement and has resulted in the
synthesis, analysis, interpretation, documentation and reporting of the
collected information. Information is used to determine if management

**Monitor Fuels Treatment**

**Examples/Notes:** The establishment of plots for monitoring fire
behavior, fuel moisture, and direct effects of the fire treatment, and
immediate post-treatment monitoring of these plots is costed to the
hazardous fuels reduction (PE = JM) and is part of the hazardous fuels
reduction project cost.

**Program Element Descriptions:** Includes work associated with
monitoring and evaluating the short term effects of fuels management
treatments (primarily funded from the 2823 & 2824 subactivities). In
this context, treatment includes chemical, mechanical, vegetation
seeding or revegetation treatments, prescribed fires, wildland fire for
resource benefit or a combination of these treatments. It may also
include the monitoring of weed populations, or other vegetation
populations and evaluating their responses to the fire or treatment.
Monitoring of long-term effects of treatments conducted for the
objective of hazardous fuels reduction can be charged to the 2823
subactivity, while resources programs pay for long-term monitoring of
treatments conducted for other purposes, including the reintroduction of
fire into the ecosystem.

**Unit of Measure:**

The workload is the number of acres monitored and evaluated after
vegetation manipulation treatments with chemicals, mechanically, or with
prescribed, wildland fire for resource benefit during any given fiscal
year.

The Field Office Manager is responsible for reporting the required
information once the monitoring has been accomplished. The results of
monitoring and/or evaluation of the monitoring data is not complete
until documented and stored in appropriate files. Evaluations will
document the treatment\'s success or failure and these results can be
used to improve the effectiveness of fuels management treatment in this
and other field offices.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** The existing national automated
database used to capture the original treatment is the Rangeland
Improvement Project System (RIPS) utilizing the assigned fuels
management project number. The Wildland Fire Management Information
System also captures data associated with the original treatment project
utilizing the same fuels management project number through the
Individual Fire Report Form (DI-1202).

expenditures.

Program Element MU

**Monitor Water Resources**

**Examples/Notes:**

1.  Data collected for testing an hypothesis about the effects of some
    action or treatment are considered monitoring data, and not
    inventory. Costs associated with monitoring stations that evaluate
    progress in achieving hydrology, water quality and soil management
    goals are allocated here. These may include reducing Total Dissolved
    Solids loading, implementation of a state/tribal TMDL or stabilizing
    soils, etc.

2.  Precipitation stations or gages associated with other water
    resources monitoring instrumentation and activities, should be
    considered a part of water resources monitoring (MU). Precipitation
    and other climate related monitoring information and costs
    associated with RAWS/REMS, NADP/NTN and IMPROVE installations should
    be assigned to MI.

3.  Collection of water resource information in support of Abandoned
    Mine Lands, Hazardous Materials Management, or Natural Resource
    Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) monitoring sites should be
    cost-assigned to MG.

4.  Monitoring to determine whether a use authorization stipulation,
    vegetation treatment (JA), or other management prescription was
    correctly implemented is not to be costed to MU, but instead should
    be costed to the appropriate use authorization or treatment Program
    Element.

5.  The costs of surface water gaging stations, including the costs of
    any associated water quality sampling and analyses collected, will
    be assigned to BN.

6.  The costs associated with well point data should be assigned to MU,
    even though they are a technique used in riparian studies.

7.  If the driving purpose for monitoring to detemine compliance with
    water quality standards or water quality inventory, assign the cost
    to MU. If the driving purpose for monitoring is to determine trends
    in aquatic system, riparian or and/or fisheries habitat condition
    and/or functionality, code to MN or MO.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

This includes data collected on the quality and quantity of surface
water and groundwater. Also includes monitoring of flows, water levels,
temperatures, precipitation, turbidity, sediment, pH, or any other water
quality constituents. This Program Element also includes costs
associated with measuring changes in stream channel geometry, and
measuring changes in floodplain characteristics. Source Water Assessment
Monitoring, drinking water sampling and testing, and Sole Source Aquifer
Monitoring stations costs should be assigned here. Exceptions are noted
above in the first section of Examples/Notes.

If the monitoring station can be directly associated with a single BLM
use authorization, those costs should be coded to the Program Element of
that use authorization (for example, implementation monitoring of water
quality for a coal lease would be coded to EL). If the station and its
costs cannot be associated with a single use authorization, or if the
work is rooted in multiple-use authorizations, then use this Program
Element, MU.

Cost categories that apply to this Program Element are costs associated
with collection, analysis, interpretation of water resources monitoring
data, installation, and maintenance of equipment, laboratory costs, and
publication of data, and data management.

**Unit of Measure:** If a station involves more than one parameter,
report one unit for each parameter. For example, if discharge, dissolved
oxygen, and temperature are all measured at a station, three
\"stations\" should be counted. Report accomplishments when the
information has been entered into a database or other electronic storage
format.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** No national BLM database exists. If
no BLM database has been developed for your state or unit, use your
State DEQ\'s water quality database, the EPA\'s STORET system or the
Forest Service\'s Water Module of their NRIS (if available).

**Evaluate Linear Recreation Management Objectives**

**Examples/Notes:** The number of miles of rivers, trails, and byways
evaluated to determine whether or not specific recreation management
objectives are being met. Recreation management objectives are
established in resource management plans, plan amendments, and/or
recreation activity plans. Evaluations may be triggered by specific time
periods identified within the planning document, by reaching established
thresholds of a resource or social indicator, or by a management
decision to determine if recreation management objectives are still
valid within any recreation site or area. The evaluations would relate
to objectives concerning physical, social, managerial settings and/or
resource conditions. Evaluations are documented and recommendations
made, resulting either in a continuation or a change in management
prescriptions or practices.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Rivers (eligible and suitable prior to designation), trails, and/or
byways management objectives that are evaluated in a given year. Costs
can include monitoring data collection, data evaluation, permanent
documentation, and reporting. Work can be reported in absence of a
management plan, if the evaluation is done pursuant to a decision

The process for this program element is as follows:

1.  Schedule evaluation in AWP based on management plan or management
    decision.

2.  Identify specific recreation objectives to be evaluated;

3.  document the evaluation results in a permanent bureau record.

Does not include evaluations for NLCS linear units, designated Wild and
Scenic Rivers and National Scenic and Historic Trails which are charged
to MF. Also excludes recreation areas reported under MA.

**Unit of Measure:** Report miles to the nearest whole mile based on

**Monitor Non-Sec 106 Cultural Properties and Paleontological
Localities**

**Examples/Notes:** None

**Program Element Descriptions:**

Includes all labor and procurement costs related to monitoring cultural
property condition and detecting and deterring looting and vandalism.
Cultural properties monitored through the efforts of non-BLM personnel
(e.g., volunteers, site stewards, cooperators) should be reported, even
though no BLM labor or procurement costs may be attributed to this work.
This program element does not include any labor and procurement costs
related to monitoring approved activities of cultural resource and
paleontological permittees; the latter should be reported under program
element \"FB.\"

The number of individual cultural properties and paleontological
localities monitored by BLM personnel and non-BLM personnel (e.g.,
volunteers, site stewards, etc.) to assess resource condition and detect
and deter looting and vandalism. Only those specific cultural properties
and paleontological localities that have been visually examined through
an on-the-ground visit should be reported. This program element will be
used along with a four-digit \"PALE\" project code to denote
paleontological localities monitored. This program element should not be
used to code labor and operations costs related to monitoring cultural
properties as a condition or outcome of section 106 compliance; that
level of site monitoring should be coded to the appropriate use
authorization program element.

**Unit of Measure:**

Report the number of individual cultural properties and paleontological
localities monitored to the nearest whole number.

The Washington Office will aggregate the numbers from the States
directly from MIS to determine Bureauwide totals. However, the State
Office Cultural Resource Program Leader and/or the Paleontological
Resource Program Leader is responsible for monitoring and verifying
field office inputs throughout the fiscal year. The number of cultural
properties and paleontological localities monitored by volunteers or
cooperators should also be reported as units of accomplishments,
regardless of whether any BLM labor or procurement costs are involved.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** The number of individual cultural
properties monitored is collected as a part of the annual cultural
resource management (CRM) program report in section III.A.1

**Monitor Fire Rehab Treatments**

**Examples/Notes:** Examples include monitoring plots, transects,
photographs, remote sensing, etc. to monitor and/or evaluate different
treatments (untreated, drill, aerial, seeding vs. seedling, etc),
watershed erosion control treatments (straw bale check dams, straw
wattles, or log erosion barriers, etc.) seed mixtures and other
information required to make a decision on whether treatments have met
EFR plan objectives. Monitoring and evaluation are critical in
determining when a burned or rehabilitated area should be opened to
grazing or recreation activities again. The results of the monitoring
studies must be incorporated into an evaluation report that is kept on
file in the Field Office. Monitoring to determine if land uses are
maintaining their values after the protection period is over should be
done but must be charged and reported to the appropriate benefiting
activity.

**Program Element Descriptions:** Includes labor and other costs
associated with the monitoring and evaluation of Emergency Fire
Rehabilitation (2822) subactivity driven projects and actions for up to
three growing seasons after fire control. This includes monitoring plot
establishment, reading of studies, data analysis and preparation of an
evaluation report. Acres monitored are reported each year that studies
are read and when the evaluation report is completed Monitoring and/or
evaluations of weed invasion or control in burned areas conducted with
EFR funds should be reported in Program Element MK (Weed Treatments
Evaluated). Monitoring and/or evaluations of wildfire or rehabilitation
treatments impacts on wildlife populations, recreational activities,
cultural resources, etc must be paid for with the appropriate
subactivity funds.

**Unit of Measure:**

The workload is the number of acres monitored and/or evaluated following
treatment after wildfire.

The Field Office Manager is responsible for reporting the required
information once the monitoring and/or evaluation is accomplished. The
results monitoring and/or evaluation of the monitoring data is not
complete until documented and stored in appropriate files. Evaluations
will document the treatment\'s success or failure and appropriate
professional papers or technical notes should be prepared to disseminate
the results of rehabilitation treatments to benefit others in
rehabilitation efforts.

**System Interface/Data Elements:** The existing national automated
database used to capture the original treatment is the Rangeland

and other employees who develop training and who are located in the
Phoenix Training Center, other centers and state offices, and the
Washington office, and, to a lesser extent, field offices. This
specialized work benefits a wide range of programs in a way that the
work cannot be readily assigned to a direct cost program element. The
work captured by this program element is the overall development and
management of employee training. Work described by this program element
benefits the entire organization in an indirect way, meaning that the
costs of this work cannot be assigned to an output-producing, direct
cost program element, such as EU, Process Land Disposal Cases. Support
work of a similar nature which directly benefits any output-producing
program element should be assigned to the benefitting program element,
or to an appropriate \"P\" code program element (which provides program
support for a mission goal). XM should not be used unless the benefit to
the organization is overarching, or if no appropriate benefitting
program element can be identified.

Program Element XR

**Provide IT Support**

**Examples/Notes:**

This program element is used to capture costs that cannot be captured
through use of other IT-related program elements. This PE should only be
used after a decision that other existing IT PEs do not apply. This work
includes analyses for an organization\'s overall IT budget, advising
management on overall IT issues, or analytical support of IT, or an IT
organizational unit. Natural resource staff (e.g. recreation
specialists, geologists, wildlife biologists, etc.) outside of the
traditional IT job classifications but working on resource specific IT
projects should code their time if working on reports to the appropriate
output producing PE, if maintaining or developing a system should charge
to the appropriate IT PE (XA -XF), or to this PE if XA - XF does not
capture the work accomplished.

Use XR when:

-   The benefit to the organization is overarching;

-   No appropriate IT benefitting program element can be identified;

-   Providing policy and guidance for which no specific IT PE applies;

-   Over-arching workforce supervision (employee relations and training,
    maintaining a qualified workforce), workload accomplishment
    monitoring, performance measurement, evaluations, cost management,
    budget development and preparation work, typing general
    correspondence and reports; preparing travel authorizations and
    vouchers; maintaining time and attendance records, etc.

Don\'t use XR when:

-   The benefit is project specific (use another XA-XF code);

-   An appropriate benefitting IT program element can be identified;

-   Providing project specific guidance or policy;

-   Project management or supervision for a specific project (regardless
    of the existence of an FFS project code);

-   Reporting costs related to data collection, user training, or using
    IT to perform programmatic work such as creation of natural
    resource-specific reports, maps, or GIS products.

For example, if an employee is preparing a budget request for RMIS
operations and maintenance actions, program element XD (IT Operations
and Maintenance) should be used. However, if an employee is preparing a
budget request in support of overall IT within a State/Office, this
program element (XR) should be used.

This PE is part of the DOI indirect cost project. This PE will be
combined with other IT PEs and roll up to DOI 6- Provide IT
Infrastructure.

**Program Element Descriptions:**

This specialized work benefits a wide range of programs in a way that
the work cannot be readily assigned to a direct cost IT program element.
The work captured by this program element is the overall management of
information technology in the BLM. Work described by this program
element it IT related, benefits the entire organization in an indirect
way, and can not be charged to another IT PE (XA-XF). Support for IT
includes labor and incidental operational costs that are direct actions
not covered by another specific program element, or is program
leadership, planning and direction, coordination, or general
administrative support. This program element can be used by all
employees at all levels of the BLM organization (i.e., WO, State, Field
Office, CIOs, other IT specialists, natural resource specialists, etc.).
Please note that non-IT program staff members should use this program
element when working on non-project specific or over-arching IT related
work as described above.
