Executive Summary
CDER FTEs TO INCREASE BY 23 UNDER AGENCY FY 1998 OPERATING PLAN for a total of 1,310 full-time equivalents, the agency says in its fiscal 1998 operating plan. The plan was submitted to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees the week of Jan. 5. The field staff for the Center for Drug Evaluation & Research will increase slightly, by two FTEs to 784. The field staff increases apparently will come from user fee resources, since funding levels for the field program drop by $1.5 mil. under the plan.
