Answer: In FY 1992, 1993, and proposed 1994 about 99 percent of BPA's direct Fish 



and Wildlife costs were devoted to Council Program measures. No more than 

 about 1 percent of the Fish and >\rildlife direct cosu were spent on measures 

 not called for in the Council's Program. BPA's budget historically has been 

 used to implement the Council's total program annually. 



Though not initially identified by the Council, BPA has implemented certain 

 projects that have benefited implemenution of the overall Program. Program- 

 Rdated, Non-Measure Projects were undertaken in response primarily to 

 support measures already qjproved and in the Program. These projects 

 expanded the scope of effort, provided needed supporting information, or 

 addressed project components not inchided in the original proposals. 



Following are nonprogram measures, budgets, and the rationale for each 

 measure. 



Project TiUc FY92 FY93 FY94 



Resources for the Future $300K $390K $4S0K 



Rationale - These projects were initiated to collect biological data fi-om 

 existing data bases throughout the region and then to determine the cost 

 effectiveness of the various approaches to implementing the work being done 

 within the fish and wildlife program. While the Council does not call for 

 specific measures or projects to be completed within their program, they are 

 on record as saying that program measures should be carried out in a cost- 

 efifective manner. See answer to Question 4 for more detail.
