12. Total Federal Funding FY 2010 Enacted FY 2011 Estimate FY 2011 CR Bill HR-1 Change from FY 2010 R&D Appropriation $66.939 $61.939-$5.000 S&PF Appropriation $5.035 -$0 Total Federal Funding for FIA $71.974 $66.974-$5.000

13. The R&D Appropriation total in HR-1 is exactly the same as the FY 2011 President’s Budget $2 million was for intensification of FIA plots on/adjacent to Experimental Forests. We intend to implement this reduction and stop EF&R plot intensification for 2011. $3 million remaining reduction will require immediate program adjustments the next 6 months. We intend to alter field work, because half of our program cost is data collection.

14. Maintain inventory activity in all 50 States? Publish 10 more 5-year State Reports Prepare upgrade to Field Manual 6.0 Continue TPO national redesign Prepare final draft of Forest Atlas Continue online tool development Continue emphasis on safety and efficiency Continue FIA Strategic Plan revision

15. Total Federal Funding FY 2010 Enacted FY 2011 Estimate FY 2012 President’s Budget Change from FY 2011 R&D Appropriation $66.939 $61.939-$5.000 S&PF Appropriation $5.035 $0-$5.035 Total Federal Funding for FIA $71.974 $61.939-$10.035

16. Maintain a consistent national program - all 50 states Continue with an annualized inventory Manage FY 2011 activities towards the future funding outlined in the FY 2012 President’s Budget. Examples:  Critically evaluate what data and analyses we can no longer afford at a reduced funding level  Terminate external research & applications linked to them  Use “lite” versions of P3 on the P2 sub-panels (e.g., soils, down woody materials and vegetation)  Delete other P3 measures (e.g., crowns, lichens, ozone)  Reduce the number of plots measured each year
