On a related matter, we have been notified that because of budget cuts, the Department of the Interior Office of Aircraft Services(OAS) will be passing fiscal year (FY) 1998 costs for user services to the bureaus. The Water Resources Division(WRD) costs will be billed by this office to the end users. The USGS will pay OAS $287,000 in FY 1998. We have been trying for more than a month to obtain a breakdown by cost center for the WRD. We will share the breakdown of the FY 1998 district and project costs for OAS services as soon as they are available.
