John Filson, U.S. Geological Survey, July 20, 2002

ANSS funding for FY2003 is likely to be at the same level as FY2002 - $3.9 M. Regional requests should not exceed the scale of the previous year.

1. Instrumentation:

• Ground (strong motion)- . Continue focus on urban regions. Consideration should be given to the integration of existing NSMP stations into regional
  network operations. Specify number of instruments.
• Structures - consideration should be given to the instrumentation of suitable structures within the region. Recommendations can be made on the types
  of structures to be instrumented elsewhere.

2. System level expenditures:

• Regional requests for infrastructure support can be made.
• Should be on a functional basis.
• May include centralized developments
• National backbone stations.
  

3. Operations and maintenance:

• Critical ANSS O&M issues may be raised.
• Should be on a functional basis.

4. Development - Any regional cooperative opportunities should be identified along with ANSS support needed.
