The initial requirements for this activity are funded within existing resources. ' ( ) * + , - . / 0p 1 2 35y'Program Changes7Expert Witnesses........................................................................................................................................................................z9Additional expert witness funding is sought to continue paying escalating witness fees throughout the witness userw:community. Of specific note are extraordinary expenses generated by the WINSTAR and tobacco cases in the Civil~;Division, the mega-CERCLA defensive contribution cases in the Environment Division, and several large cases in the Tax~<Division. Unlike previous years, the requested enhancement for 2001 does not reflect offsetting reductions from prior{=years. Rather, the requested enhancement reflects the gross amount of budget authority needed to fully fund annual>obligations posted by the expert witness user components. Because of the recent effort to eliminate non-valid prior year{?obligations from the books (as forced by the Department's clean audit program), projected prior year de-obligations+@are not expected to be significant. ABVictim Compensation Fund........................................................................................................................................................................ CDAdditional funding is sought for this activity to make a technical adjustment in the budget presentation. Specifically,zEthe requested enhancement of $1 million will eliminate the negative balance currently shown, resulting in a "zero"!Fbalance for the activity. GHPrivate Counsel........................................................................................................................................................................ I}JAdditional funding is needed to address the increase in demand for private counsel services, which is a direct result}Kof an increase in the number of people called to provide testimony or to deliver depositions in judicial proceedings,yLIndependent Counsel investigations and congressional inquiries. For example, in Cobell vs. Babbitt, six separateyMlaw firms were needed to represent the relevant parties. Similarly, multiple counsel are often needed in matters&Ninvolving more than one party. OPAnother reason for the need for additional private counsel funding is the increase in hourly rates paid to outside counsel.}QThe previous rate of $99 per hour was significantly below prevailing market rates for such services, thereby impeding}Rthe Department's ability to reimburse outside counsel. The newly revised rate for senior attorneys is $125 per hour. S Yp Z\y'Program Changes ]^Alternative Dispute Resolution.....................................................................................................................................................................u`An additional $1 million is needed to provide sufficient funding to make ADR services available where needed.xaADR processes such as mediation and arbitration offer the opportunity to settle pending civil cases in ways thatbcan be more efficient than unassisted negotiations and litigation, and on terms that are more beneficial to all parties.dTotal program changes, Fees and Expenses of Witnesses................................................................................................ ~x p p h p                 !
