CIM is down $206 million, however much of this is due to shifts to redefine IRR.

5. National CIM EOY Balances As Percent of Total Budget Authority
(CMFC+CMII+CMLG+CMRD+CMTL)
*FY06 & FY07 does not include CMLG
Washington Office, latest update May 17, 2012

6. Percent of National CIM Carryover by BLI
(FY07 & FY06 do not include CMLG)
FY FY 2011
Largest share of CIM carryover is from major projects (CMFC)
How to deal with carryover – often needed for COR, change orders, etc. even if construction funds obligated

12. National CMFC (Facilities)
and Cost Pool 9
FY FY 2013
$1,000’s
2006 – first year for CP09 (split out FA&O facility maintenance); could not find rec main/MPL/OTT split
OTT – includes cost pools, WO salary/projects, tech (CIO), etc.
Where seeing major reductions – recreation maintenance and MPL
CMFC – WO currently working on allocation criteria – more transparent for FY13
FY12 with major cut – trying to be more strategic
FY12 – allocations were based on past allocations (R/S/A %s of total)
Some ideas related to CMFC – some would require legislative approval which would make FY14 the earliest we could possibly implement
Increase threshold for major project (currently $250,000)
Request more flexibility for reprogramming at R/S/A or Chief level (currently only Chief can
approve a change of a MPL less than 10% of total project and <$1,000,000)
change definition of minor construction to include major maintenance such as roof
replacement
Allow project funds to pay for single purpose facility construction/maintenance – crew quarters
for fire
Include NEPA costs in Planning & Design
Clarify / be consistent with how display and account for cost pools for MPL
Developing alternatives – plan to send back out to R/S/As for feedback, hope to implement in FY13 (however, FY13 MPL already “set” – published as part of FY13 BJ)

22. RAR Moved to WorkPlan in FY2013
Enter Accomplishments Quarterly
Enter accomplishments in individual Plans
Core BLIs include CMRD, CMLG, CMII, HTER,ERBA, CFLR, NFRR, etc.
Use OTHR BLI for Cooperator Work
Integrated Accomplishments
Enter in Timber Sale or Stewardship Workplans
Washington Office, March 1-3, 2011

23. GARP – Geospatial Accomplishment Reporting Program
Phase 1 includes Road Decommissioning (Both System and Unauthorized Roads) and AOP.
We will likely have to move toward mandating use of the Road Maintenance Planning Module (RMP) in the next few years.
System Road Decommissioning is relatively easy – if we use RMP.
Unauthorized roads are not required to be entered into Infra, nor placed on the GIS coverage.
Watershed folks are tracking this in the Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) system.
We need to work with watershed folks so we’re not duplicating effort.
They may already be putting these in GIS.
Consider allowing them to enter the tabular data in Infra.
Washington Office, March 1-3, 2011

24. New Road Use Permit & Application Form
Need for a permit to allow for:
Use of a Road, Trail or Area not designated for use on an MVUM or closed by order. Fire closure, mineral use, etc
Oversize or overweight vehicles.
Non-Federal Commercial Use
Maintain or plow snow on an NFSR
Permit Application Forms
FS Application For a Permit for Use of Roads, Trails and Areas Restricted by Regulation or Order (Base Application)
FS a Commercial Use Attachment
FS b Oversize Vehicle Attachment. State or local forms can also be used.
Permit Forms
FS Non-Federal Commercial Road Use Permit.
Maintaining or Plowing snow on an NFSR
FS Permit for Use of Roads, Trails and Areas Restricted by Regulation or Order.
All other uses.
OMB requires count of Forms completed.
Hoping e-forms will do this for us.
May need to require Regions to send us numbers starting next year.
Washington Office, March 1-3, 2011

25. New Random Sample Methodology
For the last few years we have reporting DM on just Passenger Car Roads
Sean Puckett with the Volpe Center helped develop a new methodology for this.
Only Sample Passenger Car Roads.
340 segments
Stratified by Region based on proportion of PC system in that region.
