The management fee given to the LLC parent companies comes out of the Lab operating (overhead) budget, which was not increased from when UC ran the labs. <br /><br />Their fee is taken directly and solely from the lab's hide.<br /><br />So yes, the entity managing the Labs gets a whole lot more fee money, but there was no additional financial cost to NNSA or the government. <br /><br />The other trick NNSA did - if the LLC doesn't get the full management fee, due to a low performance score... guess what, it doesn't stay with the Lab, NNSA gets it. So either way, the Lab operating budget looses the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-84363376909755518622012-08-11T22:24:08.064-07:002012-08-11T22:24:08.064-07:00I marvel how the fishes live in the sea.

Is that why NNSA has increased the fee they are paying to the Lab LLCs by 100-times. That certainly is "less expensive"? Maybe I'm missing something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
