“We have barely finished our ‘lessons learned’ from the last shutdown,” Eric Blake, a scientist and union steward at the National Hurricane Center, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said Monday. “Pretty hard to implement that quickly across the agency.”

Julie Roberts, director of communications for NOAA, didn’t respond to a request for comment about what, if anything, the agency plans to do differently during the next shutdown.

At the Federal Emergency Management Agency, there has likewise been no time to plan for the next shutdown, according to Steve Reaves, president of the American Federal of Government Employees Local 4060, which represents about 5,000 dues-paying FEMA workers.

“They’ve spent the majority of this time that we’ve been back from the furlough recovering from the furlough,” Reaves said in a phone interview Monday. “The first week, we were just getting passwords reset and checking voicemail.”

Meanwhile, more than 300 of his members only got their first post-shutdown paycheck on Saturday, Reaves said. “Morale is probably at an all-time low. It’s terrible.”

The agency didn’t immediately respond to a request to comment.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which was criticized during the last shutdown for allowing rental assistance contracts with private landlords to expire, plans to update its shutdown plan, according to Brian Sullivan, a spokesman -- but not until later this week.

Sullivan said nobody from HUD was available to discuss what, if anything, the department plans to do differently this time.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is still working to reschedule all of the cases that were put on hold during the last shutdown, according to its website. Key decisions in Qualcomm Corp.’s patent-royalty battle with Apple Inc. were supposed to be issued in late January and mid-February, but are now scheduled to be released in March and July, respectively. Other disputes that were pushed back included ones over Caterpillar Inc. road-milling machines and Sony Corp. storage devices.

The National Science Foundation “is working to update its contingency plans and implementing many of the lessons learned from the recent lapse in appropriations,” Sarah Bates, an agency spokeswoman, said by email. She didn’t say what those lessons where.
