AVAILABLE FUNDS

GCMRC budgets are prepared in advance with an estimated 3% CPI inflation factor. Current year budgets are then adjusted with the actual CPI factor. The actual CPI rates have been 

FY03, the cumulative effect is a decrease of $311k in the revised budget request for FY-04.Note: USGS Salary adjustments were made to reflect costs from the most recent salary tables and were redistributed to correspond to the changes in project work. 

Decreases are a result of the USGS assessment. The admin. officer, admin. assistant, staff student assistant and 1/2 of the secretary positions have been transferred to the Southwest B

funded by the assessment. Administrative Support will be provided by the SBSC Administrative Services Group. Note: Total Cost Center assessment for FY-04 is $190,000. Note: USGS special "pass-through" rate is applied on $3m for contracts and agreements.
