Budget Components. AIDCP expenditures can be grouped into two general classifications: costs related to the On-board Ob- server Program, and costs associated with other functions under the Agreement. The IATTC contributes an annual amount equivalent to 30% of the observer program costs, since this is the level of coverage that the IATTC had in place on large1 purse-seine vessels to monitor the dolphin fishery prior to the AIDCP. Table 1 illustrates AIDCP expenses and revenue during 2009-2013, broken down by the two expenditure types (Observer program and Other costs). The IATTC funds 30% of the former and none of the latter. Observer costs are further broken down into direct observer costs (salaries, benefits, travel, training, etc.) and a portion of the costs associated with maintaining field offices, which provide critical functions in obtaining information to the AIDCP, as well as the work of IATTC scientific/technical staff in support of the Agreement. The category of Direct costs, Observer compensation and benefits includes all wages, bonuses, insur- ance, and related employer taxes. Observer travel includes airfare, meals and taxis while observers are on duty status. Supplies and equipment includes data forms, equipment, and related equipment mainte- xxxxx. Training includes training materials and venue, and travel, room and board for participants, in- cluding IATTC instructors. The costs of observer training can fluctuate considerably. In order to maintain an observer pool large enough to meet requests for observers in a timely manner, regular scheduled courses are held; however, if a shortage of observers arises and a training course must be scheduled on a short notice, the costs are then much higher. Several IATTC staff members support the AIDCP in varying capacities. They monitor observer place- ments, gather, process, and analyze observer data, and prepare reports for the Parties based upon the in- formation that is compiled; they also guide field office personnel in proper execution of policies, proce- dures, and resolutions established by the Parties. A portion of the personnel costs, based on the staff’s estimate of the time dedicated to these functions, is incorporated into the budget as IATTC HQ staff (scientific/technical or administrative), as is a portion of each field office’s operating costs.
