NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Only those agencies and subdivisions that had outlays in variables represented by this table appear in the table. In FY 2000, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reclassified the International Space Station (ISS) as a physical asset, reclassified ISS Research as equipment, and transferred funding for the program from R&D to R&D plant. The Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) initially existed under the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but in the 2005 DHS reorganization, TSL was moved from TSA to the Science and Technology Directorate. In FY 2006, NASA reclassified as operational costs funding for Space Operations, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, and the James Webb Space Telescope that previously had been reported as R&D plant. See technical table A-2 for additional notes associated with the agencies listed in this table.
