Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to merge construction funds into the Salaries and Expenses Account and streamline the DEA's decision unit structure from 10 program activities to 3 to align the DEA's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003-2008).  In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the DEA's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget.  In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions.  Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. 
                           
                           
Program Improvements by Strategic Goal                      
                           
Goal 2: Enforce Federal Laws and Represent the Rights and Interests of the American People 276 138 $48,904
                           
1.  Priority Targeting                      
                           
DEA requests 256 positions (100 agents), 128 workyears, and $34,661,000 to strengthen DEA's efforts towards disrupting or dismantling Priority Targets, including those linked to the Attorney General's Consolidated Priority Organization Target (CPOT) list, which represents the "Most Wanted" drug supply and money laundering organizations believed to be primarily responsible for the Nation's illicit drug supply.  This initiative includes: 244 positions, including 82 support positions to free up the equivalent of 77 agent FTE, to expand investigative capabilities; resources for the Special Operations Division's expenses related to Southwest Border investigations and exotic language linguists; resources to enhance Translation/Transcription Support Systems and investigative equipment, including 3 positions; 9 computer forensic positions to reduce DEA's digital evidence backlog; and additional funding for aviation operations and maintenance.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 1,904 positions, 1,859 workyears, and $351,761,000.      
                           
2.  Concorde                      
                           
DEA requests 10 positions, 5 workyears, and $8,530,000 to provide initial support for the Concorde Project's development cycle as well as upgrade the web infrastructure.  Concorde is DEA's information technology initiative focusing on modernization of DEA's mission-critical legacy system, transforming individual systems and databases into a "one-stop shopping" data source of information capable of performing multiple business functions.  This enhancement will support the development and deployment of several software programs and the necessary hardware infrastructure as well as make the necessary Web infrastructure improvements needed to move DEA into the E-Gov arena.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 6 positions, 6 workyears, and $5,450,000.      
                   
3.  El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) Information System                  
                           
DEA requests 4 positions, 2 workyears, and $4,837,000 to standardize and upgrade the technology infrastructure of the El Paso Intelligence Center's Information System (EIS).  This initiative will provide resources to convert the EIS to a web-based infrastructure to provide secure Internet access to tactical intelligence information for federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 9 positions, 9 workyears, and $5,126,000.      
                           
4.  International Training                          
                           
DEA requests 6 positions (5 agents), 3 workyears , and $876,000 to add one mobile training team for the International Training Program to address a backlog in requests for international training.  DEA is the leader in providing counter-narcotics training and assistance to foreign law enforcement agencies.  This is based on both host nation law enforcement interaction with DEA's overseas offices and the training and expertise of DEA's mobile training teams.  These teams serve several important functions, including educating host country personnel, assisting in developing in-country infrastructures, aiding in institution building, and promoting cooperation between host country law enforcement agencies and DEA. Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 20 positions, 20 workyears, and $6,539,000.      
                           
                           
Program Offsets -188 -125 -$25,024
                           
The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication of effort, and cost savings.  There are four parts to the proposed program offset:  elimination of Riverine program, District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department lab user fee, transfer of the Drug and Chemical Diversion Control Decision Unit to the Diversion Control Fee Account, and Annualization of the 2004 Pay Raise.
      
1.  Riverine Program            
                           
DEA is proposing a decrease of $2,000,000 for elimination of participation in the Riverine program.  The program was initiated in 1997 to assist the Government of Peru in establishing and sustaining viable interdiction and deterrence capability in Peru's waterways.  Program participants include the Department of Defense, the United States Coast Guard, and the Department of State.      
                           
2.  Forensic Service User Fee                  
                           
DEA is proposing a decrease of $3,103,000 through a proposed user fee to be charged to the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) for forensic services.  MPD does not have its own laboratory to analyze drug evidence; therefore, all drug evidence analysis is conducted by DEA's Mid Atlantic Laboratory.  In FY 2002, MPD exhibits accounted for 64 percent of the laboratory's workload.      
                           
3.  Transfer of Drug and Chemical Diversion Control Decision Unit            
                           
DEA is proposing a decrease of 188 positions (5 agents), 125 FTE, and $15,773,000 through a proposed transfer of the Drug and Chemical Diversion Control Unit to the Diversion Control Fee Account.  The amount proposed gives DEA one year from the announcement of the intended plan to publish a new rule and revise the fee structure.      
                           
4.  Annualization of the FY 2004 Pay Raise                  
                           
The President's 2004 budget requested a 2 percent average pay raise for federal workers in 2004.  However, the FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.  The FY 2005 budget request reflects the higher pay raise.  DEA proposes to offset the additional costs through management efficiencies.

The purpose of DEA's Drug Diversion Control Program is to prevent, detect and investigate the diversion of controlled substances from legitimate channels while, at the same time, ensuring that there is an adequate uninterrupted supply of chemicals and pharmaceuticals to meet legitimate needs.  DEA's Drug Diversion Control program was delegated the responsibility for control of diversion, distribution, manufacture, and abuse of legitimate pharmaceuticals.  Pursuant to Public Law 102-395, diversion control registration fees were increased to recover the entire cost of the program, starting in 1994.
