0002590HickmanThis action involves an Interagency transfer from NSF to the USGS of funds to cover expenses associated with an Environmental Assessment (EA), drilling permits and lease costs for the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD). SAFOD is part of the Earthscope Phase 1 Initiative that is included in the MRE Request in NSF's FY 2001 Budget now before Congress SAFOD involves drilling a 4 km deep hole penetrating the San Andreas Fault. Such an undertaking involves considerable advance planning, obtaining permits, leasing land, etc. The project involves about 100 scientists from the U.S and abroad and will be conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Department of Energy (DoE) and foreign institutions. The specific items for which funding is being requested from NSF are:1) $10,000 to extend the lease option on the SAFOD site for another year. The USGS paid the lease option last year, so it is appropriate that NSF pay the lease option in FY 2001.2) $20,000 for the NSF share of the EA and associated drilling permits. This represents half the total; the USGS will pay the other half.***

0002590希克曼这一行动涉及到从国家科学基金会向美国地质勘探局的跨部门转移资金，以支付与环境评估（EA）、钻探许可证和圣安德烈亚斯断层深度观测站（SAFOD）租赁费用有关的费用。 SAFOD是Earthscope第一阶段计划的一部分，该计划包括在NSF 2001财政年度预算中的MRE请求中，目前已提交国会。 该项目涉及来自美国和国外的约100名科学家，将与美国地质调查局（USGS），能源部（DoE）和外国机构合作进行。 要求NSF提供资金的具体项目是：1）10 000美元，将SAFOD场地的租赁选择权再延长一年。 美国地质勘探局去年支付了租赁选择权，因此NSF在2001财年支付租赁选择权是合适的。2）20,000美元用于NSF在EA和相关钻井许可证中的份额。 这是总数的一半; USGS将支付另一半。
