1/ An increase of $480K in FY 2007 over amounts provided in SAFETEA-LU is due to an increase in the Revenue Aligned Budget Authority (RABA) estimates.

2/ Direct funding of Air Transportation Statistics is proposed to end in FY 2006, when that activity would be funded through reimbursable funds.
Therefore, only spreads of indirect costs show up in FY 2006 and 2007.
