 Under the US-Brazil Implementing Arrangement field data collection will end for NASA-funded investigators on December 17,  LBA-ECO Project Office support in 2005  Transition/takedown activities  Support for continued data collection with CNPq licenses LBA-ECO Exit Plan

 From December 17, 2004, until property transfer to Brazil is complete, only teams with a CNPq license and a NASA-funded investigator will be able to use NASA property, infrastructure, and resources for field data collection (unless the Implementing Arrangement is renewed). However, all Phase 2 LBA-ECO teams can continue to use NASA provided resources for takedown/transition/shipping activities in early  Dismantling of scientific sites and offices supported by LBA-ECO that are not otherwise in use by teams with CNPq licenses will continue through  Visas  NASA’s property department will allow us to transfer property to Brazilian institutions, either Permanently or on a long-term loan basis. Assumptions

Field Work in 2005 with CNPq licenses  Investigators collecting field data in Brazil after December 17, 2004 must arrange their own licenses, permitting, funding, and specify what logistical support they require from the Project Office. (Questionnaire)  Property issues and data collection continuity  By mid to late 2005, facilities will either need to be transferred to Brazilian operation, or be decommissioned.

Towers supported / operated by LBA-ECO  Investigators with CNPq licenses must identify any tower or other site where data collection will continue after 12/17/04.  Towers and sites in Santarém that are identified for use under approved CNPq licenses will continue to be maintained and supported by the following:  data techs  vehicles  generator maintenance and fueling  site and tower safety  Timeline
