CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** About 57,600 federal employees work in Hampton Roads. Information provided Tuesday with a story on the federal budget talks was based only on the number of civilian employees employed by the Navy. Correction published Wednesday, November 15, 1995 on page A2. ***************************************************************** WHO'D GO HOME IN HAMPTON ROADS

Active-duty military personnel will stay on the job. About 70 percent of federal civil service workers locally - 21,000 people - are nonessential and expected to be furloughed. All should report for work today; those being furloughed will be notified by their supervisors.

Current paychecks will go out on schedule - military on Wednesday and civilian on Friday.

Who's affected? Some highlights:

MILITARY BASES

NAVY

Norfolk Naval Base: Of 400 civil service employees, 62 percent will be furloughed.

Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base: Furloughed personnel will receive written notification.

Dam Neck Fleet Combat Training Center: Each command will determine which civilian workers are considered nonessential and furloughed.

Oceana Naval Air Station: About 124 of the station's 290 civilian employees are expected to be furloughed.

Portsmouth Naval Medical Center: The hospital will be open for emergency and acute care on a case-by-case basis. Furloughed personnel - an estimated 30 percent of the work force - will receive written notice today. All branch medical centers, including the Sentara-operated clinics, will remain open, and medical care for active-duty members is business as usual. But some hospital clinics may scale back their capacity. If you have a procedure or appointment scheduled for today or Wednesday, call the clinic to check.

AIR FORCE

The First Fighter Wing and Air Combat Command at Langley Air Force Base consider all civilian personnel essential.

ARMY

It was unknown Monday afternoon how many of the 2,200 civilians at Fort Eustis and Fort Story will be furloughed.

COAST GUARD

An estimated 1,037 civilians will be furloughed in Hampton Roads, including the Elizabeth City Air Station and the Yorktown Reserve Training Center.

CIVILIAN AGENCIES

NASA-Langley Research Center: The space agency's huge complex in Hampton will shut down its operations until the budget impasse is resolved, affecting 4,750 workers.

Department of Veterans Affairs, Hampton Medical Center: It will be almost business as usual for the center's 1,185 employees. About 7 percent, deemed nonessential, will be furloughed. Medical services will go on uninterrupted.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Atlantic Marine Center: The 275 employees assigned to the Norfolk office and NOAA's nine ships will stay on the job. Activities are unlikely to be affected unless there is a long government shutdown.

Social services: Local offices, which receive substantial federal funding, expect to be doing business as usual.

SHIPYARDS

Private shipyards: No impact on Navy shipbuilding or repair work at the region's private shipyards is anticipated from a shutdown of less than a week. A longer shutdown would have an effect, however. More than 700 civilian workers at the region's two Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair offices are to be furloughed. Military personnel assigned to the offices in Portsmouth and Newport News will try to keep up with the inspections work, but the loss of civilian support and adminstrative personnel could eventually be felt.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard: Business as usual.
