Appendix VII
Counterterrorism Burn Rates

This appendix provides the burn rates of attorney FTEs, in percentage terms, for the prosecutorial area of counterterrorism. For these computations, we compared the number of attorney FTEs allocated to the total number of attorney FTEs utilized (including time recorded in excess of a standard 40 hour work week) within each USAO. For example, in FY 2004, the District of Columbia was allocated 7 attorney FTEs for counterterrorism and utilized a total of 9.8476 attorney FTEs on such matters. This amounted to an overburn of 2.8476 FTEs, which equated to a 40.68 percent overburn.
