Can you tell me how you plan to finish the Chief's Report by December 2015, as promised, without Federal funding in the fiscal year 2015 Work Plan?

I would really like to thank everybody for being here today. I very much appreciate your interest in this subject.

I am very disappointed at that action. So hopefully, we can reverse it. We'll see.

I would like to thank the bureau for working very hard to maximize water supplies in California under the most difficult circumstances.

I look forward to working with you, and I think getting those feasibility studies done, as I said, it has been 10 years.

Well, will it be 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, or 6 years? It has been 10 years so far.

So, the Department of Interior that has the expedited conveyance process, where they can look at State and local governments, if this is going to be transitioned into other public uses, seems to be a faster process.

I want to know how that is going at this point, and if any additional legislation is needed to help expedite the process and to make sure that is a consistent process?

And I want to say what I know has already been said as well, thank you for the work that you do.

It costs more. I understand that.

The request for funding for this next year's a little over 10 percent increase in funding, obviously exceeds the budget caps.

Question Submitted by Senator James Lankford

Incredibly valuable.

What has the NRC done, if anything, to prevent such an abuse in the future?

Do you have the manpower already to be able to handle that increase?

I would like to have every opportunity that we can to have peer-reviewed data that is available to people, and they can actually interact with that data.

It is not just a list of them. It is the actual process of divesting.

We have had a tough time letting go of different facilities and things.
