11 FY 2004 Status (PNW): 61 % of Region implemented 61 % of Region implemented  Coastal Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, CNMI 75 % Funded ($685,000 increase in FY04) 75 % Funded ($685,000 increase in FY04) Consistent field manual for AK, CA, OR, WA Consistent field manual for AK, CA, OR, WA Compilation using NIMS for 2000, 2001, 2002 data completed. Target for 2003 data is June. Compilation using NIMS for 2000, 2001, 2002 data completed. Target for 2003 data is June.

12 PNW Goals for FY 04 Increase efficiency of inventory – Lidar, etc. Increase efficiency of inventory – Lidar, etc. Include P3 Veg in WA & AK Include P3 Veg in WA & AK Load Regional data into NRIS Load Regional data into NRIS Review volume equations & standardize Review volume equations & standardize Continue Riparian pilot work Continue Riparian pilot work Finish OR Mill Survey Finish OR Mill Survey Conduct Utilization Studies Conduct Utilization Studies

13 PNW-FIA FY 04 goals Publish State Reports (OR, WA, Guam, A. Samoa) & NFS reports (Umatilla) Publish State Reports (OR, WA, Guam, A. Samoa) & NFS reports (Umatilla) Publish w/ S&PF I & D report Publish w/ S&PF I & D report Publish Kenai Peninsula results Publish Kenai Peninsula results Publish CA Oak Woodlands, SOD, CA Forest Products Industry Publish CA Oak Woodlands, SOD, CA Forest Products Industry Publish Biscuit Fire Report(s) Publish Biscuit Fire Report(s) Make BioSum into user tool Make BioSum into user tool

14  Continue status quo (implementation in 71% of US, nothing for the rest)? BEYOND 2004: What do we do if we never achieve full funding BEYOND 2004: What do we do if we never achieve full funding?

15 Annual FIA Forever? Implemented Tough Noogies

16  Continue status quo (implementation in 71% of US, nothing for the rest)?  Change some aspect of our approach to cover 100% of US with available resources?  If so, what kinds of changes?  What do we do more or less of? What do we do if we never achieve full funding What do we do if we never achieve full funding?

17 What Might This Entail? Increased efficiencies Increased efficiencies  E.g. 1-person remeasures, others Spatial reductions Spatial reductions  E.g. “Thin the grids” Temporal reductions Temporal reductions  E.g. “Reduce the % per year” Drop Components Drop Components  E.g. give up some P2 or P3 measures

18 Conclusion – National Picture On course to full implementation. On course to full implementation. Have addressed all Farm Bill criteria. Have addressed all Farm Bill criteria. Funding uncertainties will drive reexamination of base federal program. Funding uncertainties will drive reexamination of base federal program.

19 Conclusion – Regional Picture Steady Progress towards full implementation Steady Progress towards full implementation  Interior Ak  Pacific Islands Consistency among PNW states – variables collected and compiled Consistency among PNW states – variables collected and compiled Continued progress in making data available Continued progress in making data available Continued emphasis on analysis & reporting Continued emphasis on analysis & reporting
