Services to laboratories and bases ($75,000) 

 will consist of tests, maintenance, calibration, 

 and coordination of information exchange among 

 instrument users in the Bureau and elsewhere. 

 Approximately 49% or $440,000 will be spent 

 for direct procurement of instruments. 



Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife 



FY 1965 — Reported in Research Budget 

 FY 1966 — Reported in Research Budget 

 FY 1967 -$25 ,000 



BSF&W has procured nets, bathythermographs, 

 high speed plankton samplers, infrared ther- 

 mometers and sonar equipment for research into 

 the environments which maintain sport fisheries. 

 During the last fiscal year the Bureau purchased 

 an atomic spectrophotometer and supporting 

 equipment for the determination of pesticides in 

 the marine en\ironment. Additional airborne 

 infrared thermometers, plankton samplers, 

 bathythermographs and analvtical equipment 

 will be purchased for use in investigation of the 

 factors affecting the location and natiual history 

 of fishes. 



Geological Survey 



FY 1965-1127,000 

 FY 1965-1138,000 

 FY 1967-$138.000 



The Geological Sin\ey will continue to develop 

 and procure instruments for studying geologic 

 resources on and beneath the ocean floor, and 

 for determining the effects of fresh water and 

 sediment discharge from the land on the marine 

 environment. In its West Coast program, emphasis 

 will be placed on purchase of precision na\iga- 

 tion ecjuipment and geophysical instruments for 

 installation on \essels. They will be used in 

 logging drill holes in the ocean floor. Dexelop- 

 ment of improved analytic devices for use in 

 studies on the composition of marine sediments, 

 rocks, and minerals will continue. In studies of 

 marine geological and hydrological conditions 

 and processes emphasis will be placed on the 

 development of instrimientation for meastning 

 the dischaige of fresh-water from land through 

 the ocean floor and for determining com])osition 

 of sediments in situ. 



Bureau of Mines 



(Funds reported under Ocean Engineering) 



The instrumentation program of Mines assists 

 in the development of ocean floor mining systems, 



and of exploratory tools for resource develop- 

 ment. The FY 1967 effort will be focused on the 

 de\elopment of tools and equipment to delineate 

 and e\aluate continental shelf mineral reserves, 

 especially shoreline deposits. Primary emphasis 

 will be on the de\elopment of a neutron activated 

 device for semi-quantitative anahsis of sea bottom 

 materials in situ. Other efforts will be directed to 

 the e\aluation of presenth a\ailable flow rate 

 meters and ]jipeline pulp densit)' measuring 

 de\ices for use in a marine en\ironment. 



DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION 

 AND WELFARE 



Federal Water Pollution Control Administration 



FY 1965-$ 0^= 



FY 1966 -$41 7,000* 

 FY 1967 -$300.000* 



The FY 1967 instrumentation expenditures are 

 to be used largely by the Hudson-Champlain and 

 Metropolitan Coastal Comprehensixe Water Pol- 

 lution Control Project. Instruments will be ac- 

 quired to study water moxement, water qualit\, 

 and marine biology in estuarine and nearshore 

 areas. 



NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 



($400,000 Reported under Research) 



In the past year the following three grants 

 were included for instrimient development: A 

 deep ocean device was designed to obtain pimched 



'^Federal Water Pollution Control Administration pi-oi;rarTis for 

 FY 1965-1966 are presented separately from Public Health Service 

 for i^rogram comparison purposes. PHS expendituies were $45,000 

 in FY 1965 and again in FY 1966. Expenditures for instnniients in 

 FY 1967 were $0 for PHS. Howe\er, water pollution control acti\ities 

 were- removed from Public Health Service December 31, 1965, and 

 placed under a ne\\l\' established Administration. FWPC.A's first 

 se}3arate budget was prepared for FY 1967.
