FY 2008 Rollout Products
We are kicking off the FY 2008 Budget Rollout. This web page will serve as the location to find the latest files and guidance for responding to requests for this information. Based upon the popularity of our products last year, we will be updating the information from last year using the same formats. Please note specific guidance in each of the sections below. Only submissions that follow the provided format will be accepted.
The FY 2008 Rollout Schedule can be found by clicking here and a listing of assignments and contacts can be found by clicking here.
FY 2008 Blue Book and Budget-in-Brief
Guidance
Be sure to review each chapter for which you/your LO provides input. We would like each LO to review their section(s) and make appropriate changes to their narratives. Please update your section(s) to include the FY 2008 Budget Summary in the same tone and style as FY 2007. Include significant program changes, including decreases, which are valued at $500 thousand and above (based upon the OMB submission). The tone of the narratives will be uniform (just like last year). Please make only changes to the narratives and numbers (do not change any formats). Please note that we will be including FTEs in our resource displays. Therefore, you may be asked to provide this information as well.
LOs are to download each chapter that they provide information for and send only their updated information and associated “action” pictures to Julie Hite. If an “action” picture is not applicable than another picture is acceptable. The pictures used in the FY08 OMB Presentations would be a good starting point. Please note that the lead- in to your line office discussion should include a new lead-in picture.
