I have located links to the 2001 and 2002 Endangered Species
Expenditure Reports, and, in the meantime, also found the FY 2003
reports. I found 2001 via a standard Google search (noted in Search
Strategy, below), then manipulated the URLs to discover further data
in the T.E.S.S. database.
T.E.S.S. - Threatened and Endangered Species System
http://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/TESSWebpage
I haven't located links specifically to this data in the Department's
Endangered Species website. I imagine budget constraints are probably
responsible. I would speculate that the errors are more likely to be
in the online reporting than in compliance with regulations.
Fiscal Year 2004 ends in October. The Expenditure Reports will
probably be available in early 2005.
In the 1998-2000 Reports that you already have, Appendix B contains an
explanation of the Reporting procedures and guidelines.
"Section 18 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S. 1531
etseq.) reads, in part, as follows "...Fish and Wildlife Service,
shall submit to the Congress an annual report covering the
preceding fiscal year which shall contain:
(1) an accounting on a species-by-species basis of all reasonably
identifiable Federal Expenditures made primarily for the conservation
of endangered and threatened species pursuant to this Act; and
(2) an accounting on a species-by-species basis for all reasonably
identifiable expenditures made primarily for the conservation of
endangered and threatened species pursuant to this Act by States
receiving grants under section 6."
The Conference report for the 1988 amendments made some of the
following points concerning the new section 18 of the Act:
-- [The reporting} provision should not become unduly burdensome or
result in diversion of funds from the operation of the program.
-- The Secretary of the Interior is to make a good faith effort to
develop and obtain data but is not to undertake extensive or
extraordinary measures.
-- Generalized dollar estimates will suffice..."
