Notes:

    1 Starting in FY 2006, funding to NOAA’s laboratories is included in the CCSP budget cross-cut. This is a result of the evolution of NOAA’s role in CCSP.
    2 For FY 2008, NOAA made a decision to report activities for the NOAA climate strategic goal, as defined in the NOAA Strategic Plan (2005), to ensure consistent reporting and to provide the most accurate picture of its climate funding to date.
    The climate goal includes both research and operations funding under the following offices: Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, National Marine Fisheries Service, the National Weather Service, and the National Environmental Satellite,
    Data, and Information Service.
    3 Entries given in FY 2006 and FY 2007 for EPA are "enacted" budgetary amounts.
    4 NASA funding levels presented in this table do not reflect full-cost accounting (Corporate General and Administrative and Institutional Investment funding has been removed).
    5 NASA has revised the set of projects it counts as supporting CCSP goals. The funding levels presented here do not include the Ground Network and Research Range assets or Congressional interest items, but include activities not previously
    counted, such as the NPOESS Preparatory Project, portions (33%) of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, as well as portions of the High-End Computing and Scientific Computing projects.
    6 Operational space-based, surface, and in situ observing systems and programs are not included in the CCSP budget cross-cut, but contribute to achieving CCSP goals. Because DOD research activities are conducted for defense-related
    missions, they are not included in the CCSP budget cross-cut; however, related DOD research contributes to CCSP goals.
    7 Due to recent changes in CCSP/CCRI activities and priorities, additional ongoing activities in the Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance program are reported under CCSP and CCRI beginning in FY 2006.
    * Any minor discrepancies within this table and between this table and others are due to rounding.
