1/JPATS permanent positions reflected here are for illustrative purposes only; they are funded from program revenues and are not included in the USMS total positions.

2/Reflects the transfer of $27,935,000 for prisoner movements to the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT). This funding consists of $22,685,000 for anticipated costs for JPATS air transportation, and $5,250,000 anticipated costs for non-JPATS transportation.

Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2007 budget proposes to merge Construction Appropriation funds into the Salaries and Expenses Appropriation and streamline the USMS decision unit structure from 9 decision units to 5 decision units. This alignment more closely reflects the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003-2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect USMS outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions.
