The Water Discipline cost centers will soon be receiving an allocation 
for Title VIII Funding.  This funding has been apportioned to us by OMB.   

The funding was appropriated as no year funding.  Title VIII funding for 
the Water Discipline is to be used for enhancement to streamgaging network 
and data delivery systems.  Attached is a list of the cost centers 
receiving this special funding. 

As with all funding that is appropriated with special terms, conditions, 
or special accounting requirements, this funding must be tracked in a 
separate Federal Financial System (FFS) fund code; in this case, SIRX8. 
The Program Element is 42100. 

This separate fund code requires that dedicated account numbers be 
established for the recording and tracking of obligations.   
The account number chosen to be used for all cost centers is 70900. Please 
establish this in your Administrative Information System (AIS) and 
transfer to Headquarters.  The account will then be setup in FFS. 

Because a separate funding code is being used for this money, 
cost center overhead cannot be applied or assessed via either AIS or FFS. 
The funding should be recorded in AIS with overhead types 1 and 2 equal 
to N.  Your common services assessment must be collected via a 
standard voucher debiting the 70900 account and crediting the 88800 
account number.  The completed standard voucher (SV) must be sent to 
Kelly Bradley for approval because it is a transfer between funds.   

Please document the method used to calculate the amount of the 
assessment.  The due date for completion and forwarding of the 
overhead SV to Headquarters is Friday, August 24, 2001. 

Surplus funding in the SIRX8 fund code cannot be used to balance 
the cost center and the 70900 account numbers cannot be overspent.   
Carryover amounts must be reported to Kelly Bradley via email 
kbradley@usgs.gov, no later than August 24, 2001. 

Please contact Kelly Bradley if you have questions related to accounting 
for this funding.
