6 * With the significant expansion of the program, it is anticipated that additional personnel will be required to plan and administer same. One additional person will be needed in FY 1981, if not before that time. A second person will be requested for the FY 1981-1982 time period. NOTES 1. Inasmuch as H.R. 3756 requires that a plan be submitted by the Secretary of Interior by Jan., 1981, and inasmuch as requests for funding are authorized as of Oct. 1, 1980 (prior to the submission of the plan), the possibility exists that the program may need to be expanded in FY 1981 to a greater extent than that indicated. Should that be the case the cost estimates for FY 1982 and years following may need to be advanced by one year. 2. A part of the development of a plan will be consideration of the options available, and their cost, with respect to logistical support of the program (e.g., the need to charter additional ships, construction of on-atoll facilities and possibly runways, aircraft support, etc.) Consequently, greatly expanded logistical/construction requirements have not been factored into the above cost estimates. 3. In order to be consistent with the cost estimates provided last summer to OMB and to the Office of Micronesian Status Negotiations (OMSN), the program categories are limited to medical and environmental studies. These do not coincide easily with OHER program division responsibilities in that the latter category includes the following activities: whole body counting, environmental transport studies of radionuclides,
