Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. General Accounting Office, [2000] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)55685979 Subject: Public lands -- United States -- Management. Excerpt: ... separate permits. See table 3 in appendix III for the number of projects in each state and the goals the projects were intended achieve. According to Forest Service and BLMestimates, Service First projects have achieved financial savings of $ 5.4 million from the inception of the initiative in fiscal year 1996 through the first half of fiscal year 2000. Since the agencies did not have data readily available to support the savings claimed, we asked several units we visited to recreate the basis for the savings they claimed. These offices - Prineville and Lakeview, Oregon, and Durango and Grand Junction, Colorado - accounted for about 57 percent of the total savings and had calculations and methodology that appeared reasonable to us. However, because we were not provided with detailed documentation for the remaining projects, we were unable to review how the agencies calculated the dollar savings or whether their methodologies were appropriate. The $ 5.4 million estimate is based on 83 projects that the agencies identified as having savings. Among the projects with the largest reported savings are the following: * The units in Prineville, Oregon, claimed savings of about $ 1 million over 4 years as a result of sharing heavy equipment for road maintenance activities. * A statewide Service First initiative in Colorado eliminated 12 communication facilities, radio repeaters, and other support facilities and saved about $ 600, 000 over 3 years. * In Durango, Colorado, units claimed savings of $ 248, 000 over 4-½ years by combining the responsibilities of the forest supervisor position with the BLM field manager position. Table 1 shows the estimated savings by state. Page 13 GAO-01-50 Service First Initiative
