¹ FY 2005 targets were based on FY 2004 consolidated appropriations bill, which included an annual level for MEP of $39.6 million (which, less rescissions, netted $38.7 million). Due to the funding cycle of MEP centers, the MEP system was able (on a one-time basis) to manage the funding decrease in FY 2004 with minimal impact to actual Center funding levels. The MEP system would not be able to sustain the current number of centers in the event of future funding cuts of a similar nature. (back)

¹ Actuals for this performance outcome lagged at least six months. Therefore, beginning with the FY 2005 PAR, NIST shifted to a format in which they report actuals one year later (i.e., FY 2004 actuals are reflected in the FY 2005 PAR). This data lag, coupled with the timeline for producing the PAR, precludes the reporting of actual FY 2007 data. These data reported in the current year PAR, are an estimate based on three-quarters of actual client reported impacts and one-quarter estimated client impacts. (back)
