William J Dircks, Acting Executive Director for Operations

Subject:

FY 1980 MID-YEAR RESOURCE REVIEW To inform the Commission of the current status of Resources

Purpose:

and the projected end-of-year position.

Discussion:

The attachment ccmprises a detailed FY 1980 Mid-Year Resource Review conducted by the Office of the Controller.

In addition, to date, two major FY 1980 resource review efforts have taken The first was in January, relating to the reprogramming pl ace.

of $3 millior. in FY 1979 unabligated carryover funds.* The second effort relates to the reorientation of resources to accomplish tasks in the TMI Action Plan.

A letter requesting Congressional approval of specific reprogramming will be forth-caning the week of June 9,1980.

The following are the highlights of that Mid-Year Review:

(1) Assuming enactment of the House Appropriations Ccmmittee version of the FY 1980 Supplementals, (Programmatic and Pay), 63% of total funds projected to be available by the end of FY 1980 have been obligated as of mid-year compared to last year's 60%.

Assuming enactment of the FY 1980 Supplemental and Congres-(2) sional approval of TMI Action Plan reprogramming, by early 1

July, the unabligated balance at year-end shculd be in the neighborhood of 1% - 2% of budget authority or 54 - 58 i

million.

This is ccmparable to last year's 1.7% or $5.6 million.

(3)

If relief is granted on the hiring freeze, it is l

estimated that the year-end strength of full-time permanent enployment will range frcm 3,000 to 3,050.

This is compared to an authorized strength of 3,066 (assuming the HAC supplemental mark prevails) and is an increase of 309 to 359 positions frca last year's level of 2,691 positions at year-end.

(4)

Costing of obligations has been incurring at a faster rate than in previous years.

For example, program support costs incurred against FY 1980 obligations at mid-year were 38% of obligations compared to last year's 36%.

Costs incurred against the prior year obligations at mid-year were at 68% of the beginning uncosted balance compared to 65% last, year.

(5) As a result of the FY 1980 Mid-Year Resource Review, we currently estimate that approximately $3.8 million can be made available for reallocation to high-priority agency requirements.

This compares with tentatively identified new requirements of approximately $3.0 million (Nuclear Data Link - $1.8 million, NRC interim relocation - $0.8 million and acceleration of resident inspector program -

$0.4 million).

Other options for reprogramming would be to fund unapproved portions of the FY 1980. Supplemental request (e.g., Waste Management, Research), or additional TMI Action Action Plan work.

In summary, no financial plan changes are being recommended at this time pending several decisions, the most significant of which 1s final Congressional action on NRC's FY 1980 Supplemental.

(See pages 6-10 of the detailed Mid-Year Review for the Agency Summary).

Coordination:

The Program Offices, ADM, MPA and other affected offices have coo-dinated on this review.
