In addition to the direct appropriation, much of the funding for earthquake activities at NBS has in the past come from other agencies, such as FEMA.

Text: CRS-28 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF MINES «MINERALS AND MATERIALS RESEARCH, INFORMATION, AND ANALYSIS In the Minerals Information and Analysis Directorate, salaries represent about 91 percent of the budget. Because this directorate is currently operating under its personnel ceiling, they think that they may be able to accommodate the FY86 budget reduction with savings from unfilled positions. In addition, a limited saving can be achieved from equipment deferral and in reducing travel and office expenses.A A strong effort will be made to avoid a reduction in products and services, but it is still too early to determine whether or not such a reduction will be necessary this fiscal year. However, at this time, it would appear that reductions in products and services will be necessary if further cuts are to be made for FY87. How this will be accomplished is not yet certain. Reductions in Force (RIFs) will be avoided as long as possible. Minerals and materials research activities are conducted under the Minerals Research Directorate. All questions concerning the impact of the Deficit Control Act on program activities in this area were referred to theBudget Office. Salaries represent appro<;:;’oiy 73 percent of the smile: in this area. Some budgeted salaries for unfiii»i positions can be usei to offset part of the reauired reduction. A strong effort will be made to minimize the impact on research output. No Rlfs are anticipated in FY86. individual research elements are small and no decisions have yet been made as to apportioning the impact down
