Subject:  Annual District Workload Questionnaire, January Request

The National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) is once again calling for cost
center analytical workload estimates for Fiscal Year 1996.  The format is the 
same as prior requests.

We are requesting numbers for the entire year.  Please do not include NASQAN
samples that are billed directly to the Headquarters account overseen by the 
Office of Water Quality (OWQ).  OWQ has agreed to provide those as totals to 
NWQL directly.

Please provide the information to the NWQL Administrative Officer, Deborah
Treseder (EDOC: TRESEDER), by January 22, 1996, in the following format
(#(Samples)/$$(Dollars):

                    District Projects             NAWQA         DODEC

Please annotate your responses with additional information that would help NWQL
understand your requirements.  We understand that this is a very uncertain 
time for all Government operations, but please make your best estimates.

The NAWQA and DODEC columns in the table are specifically for projects
associated with those programs.  The first column, District Projects, is for
all other programs, including Co-op Programs, Other Federal Programs, and any
other unspecified programs--except NASQAN.  DODEC refers to the program
administered by John Powell in Technical Support and coordinated by
Dorothy Walker at NWQL.  Analyses are currently conducted by contract to
Enseco, Inc.  Please include all samples for each column associated with NWQL
--both contracted through and analyzed in-house.

NOTE:  We ask that whoever is responsible for coordinating the District
submission work with the NAWQA Study Unit Chiefs and the DODEC Project Chiefs
to gather the best estimates possible.  It is crucial, especially in these 
uncertain times, to have the best numbers we can to assure efficient 
operations for all of our District customers.

The reporting dates for the remainder of the fiscal year are April 19 and
July 19, 1996.
