On the one hand, savings were realized as a result of an average monthly vacancy rate of 11.2 per cent and 2.4 per cent for international and local staff respectively; the impact of the devaluation of the local currency on local staff salary and general temporary assistance requirements; and the non-utilization of overtime resources. On the other hand, such savings were offset in part by additional requirements arising from erroneous payroll charges of UNDOF staff on temporary assignment to other duty stations and additional requirements for travel of headquarters staff.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:12pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\"><strong><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t\t<\/span>Operational costs<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><i><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t\t<\/span>Apportionment: $7,457,000; expenditure: $6,671,800; variance: $785,200<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t3.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>The net unutilized balance of $785,200 under this heading resulted from reduced requirements under transport operations ($899,000), communications ($25,700) and supplies and services ($53,900), which were offset in part by additional requirements under premises\/accommodation ($111,200), other equipment ($50,500) and air and surface freight ($31,700).\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><strong><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t\t<\/span>Premises\/accommodation<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><i><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t\t<\/span>Apportionment: $1,293,000; expenditure: $1,404,200; variance: ($111,200)<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t4.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>The net additional requirement of $111,200 resulted from recording charges under the utilities budget line relating to the changeover from UNDOF generators to electricity supplied by the Government of Syria to Camp Faouar at a lower cost and the funding of some unbudgeted construction projects for the improvement of shelters at position 27 and the shelter at Mt.
