Lower than projected costs Stringent controls Unbudgeted system wide electronic data processing upgrades Lower unit costs available from stock

(Based on analysis of actual payroll data, vacancy, common staff costs, ICSC recommendations)

Tests at Kent on a 2 MV microparticle accelerator have established impact plasma yields, design data, and data rates, thus enabling optimization of costs and data handling.

More complex data retrieval and processing requirements could result in ground segment costs of up to 50 per cent of total programme costs.

Following are two actual examples of how investment costs were calculated from the pilot exercise data

Category 2 qualitative data relating to (inter alia) environmental policies, procedures and progress other environmental costs

Data are sought for three major resource costs categories for each of fourteen different force groups.

The increase will also cover the Office's share of centrally provided data processing infrastructure services and support costs.

The increase will also cover the Office's share of centrally provided data processing infrastructure services and support costs.

Category 1 financially quantified data relating to environmental liabilities and provisions exceptional environmental costs green levies and taxes

(c) Separate data entry at the ICSC secretariat would not be necessary, resulting in savings in staff costs.

Expenditure data provide important information to verify rates and standard costs as well as input for projecting expenditure patterns.

It is necessary to select indicators for which data are already available or can be obtained at reasonable costs.

More complex data retrieval and processing requirements could result in ground segment costs accounting for up to 50 per cent.

(iii) Maintenance, updating and operation of computerized budget information system and management of data structure, data input and system control monitoring of actual staff costs and inflation trends and creation of standard salary costs and establishment of budget costing parameters and maintenance of vacancy statistics and certifying officers' panels.

These activities will reduce costs for acquiring remotely sensed data and increase the consistency of the resultant maps of these resources.

(f) Acknowledging that performance management incurs costs, appropriate funds will be allocated for training, data collection, recording and related information systems

However, the 1999 cost estimates include the amount of 776,700 under non recurrent costs for data processing equipment and transport operations.

As to the issue of data compilation, the experts emphasized the need to maximize the use of information existing in administrative data sources with the aim of reducing costs and the respondents' burden.

This would cover the costs of staff and the provision of other support such as training, electronic data processing equipment and travel.

25.25 The amount of 35,196,800 provides for international posts, general temporary assistance and resources for centrally provided data processing infrastructure services and support costs.

In these cases, the Office collected data on the organizations use of reimbursable services and applied standard unit staff costs to calculate the charge.

With respect to other types of costs, such as removal of unexploded ordnance or the humanitarian costs associated with accidents due to ERW, the discussion showed that there was insufficient data for arriving at meaningful assessments and conclusions.

Provision is made to cover costs of technical and other types of training, such as electronic data processing training, and repair of office equipment ( 10,000).

The field assets control system will provide commodity managers with life cycle costs and item residual value data that will be useful in determining disposal policies.

Further, definitions of the costs of the AIJ component and other reporting items, such as the lifetime of the activity and technical data, are not consistent.

As the development of the system advances, however, information sources will have to be refined in order to generate new data on costs, activities and outputs.

(h) Collect and analyse energy cost and consumption data for its premises, in order to facilitate comparisons and to identify wastage and excessive costs (para. 86)
