Anyone know how to read a budget request?
http://www.mms.gov/adm/budget.html
The format is vastly different year to year, so I'm not sure how to compare them. But the 2000 budget -- http://www.mms.gov/a...Justification.pdf -- seems to request $610,648,000. The 2008 budget -- http://www.mms.gov/a...Justification.pdf -- seems to request $297,181,000. Like I said, the format is vastly different and I could be misreading it. --

It's complicated.
If one looks at the total bottom-line numbers, it's distorted by royalty payments to the states.
It might make sense to compare the "Regulatory (RO)" numbers between the years, but since the 2000 PDF isn't searchable, it takes too long for the time I've got available. 2008: (p.102 of the PDF) - $56M, 334 FTE (Full-Time Equivalent employees) 2000: (p.13 of the PDF) - $42.5M, 347 FTE request. But it's hard to know whether it's an apples-to-apples comparison without more digging. HTH. Cheers, Scott. |
