funds were used than estimated for the following reasons:

requirements
2) more man hours on NIS work than anticipated (as a
result of slow up in AM projects with only an average of
$300 per pay period on AMS work, as opposed to an estimated
$770)
3) absence in previous estimates of other obligations,
such as purchase of supplies, etc.
