Capital Improvement and Maintenance   FY 2011 Enacted FY 2012 Enacted Program Changes FY 2013 President's Budget Percent of Program Change Capital Improvement & Maintenance Total $472,644 $394,089 ($47,710) $346,379 -12% Total Full-Time Equivalents 2,858 2,591 (270) 2,321 10% Facilities $135,000 $75,664 $23,799 $99,463 31% Roads $195,195 $182,525 ($24,707) $157,818 -14% Trails $88,381 $81,851 $134 $81,985 -0% Deferred Maintenance & Infrastructure Improvement $9,158 $9,121 ($2,008) $7,113 -22% Legacy Roads & Trails $44,910 $44,928 ($44,928) $0 -100% CIM is down $206 million, however much of this is due to shifts to redefine IRR.

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

Percent of National CIM Carryover by BLI (FY07 & FY06 do not include CMLG) FY 2006 - 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 Washington Office, latest update May 17, 2012

National CMFC (Facilities) and Cost Pool 9 FY 2003 - FY 2013 $1,000’s 2006 – first year for CP09 (split out FA&O facility maintenance); could not find rec main/MPL/OTT split 2003-2005 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) Washington Office, latest update May 18, 2012

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

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-7700-40 Application For a Permit for Use of Roads, Trails and Areas Restricted by Regulation or Order (Base Application) FS-7700-40a Commercial Use Attachment FS-7700-40b Oversize Vehicle Attachment. State or local forms can also be used. Permit Forms FS-7700-41 Non-Federal Commercial Road Use Permit. Maintaining or Plowing snow on an NFSR FS-7700-48 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

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. Washington Office, March 1-3, 2011
