SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract: The U.S. Institute is a nonpartisan federal program established by
Congress to provide impartial assistance
to parties in resolving environmental,
natural resource, and public lands
conflicts involving the U.S. government.
The U.S. Institute accomplishes much of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
its work by partnering, contracting with,
or referral to, experienced practitioners.
In addition, the U.S. Institute maintains
the National Roster of Environmental
Conflict Resolution and Collaboration
Professionals (roster). The Application
for the National Roster of Environmental
Conflict Resolution and Collaboration
Professionals (application) compiles
data available from the resumes of
environmental neutrals (mediators,
facilitators, etc.) into a format that is
standardized for efficient and fair
eligibility review, database searches,
and retrievals.
The roster, the application and the
related entry criteria, were developed
collaboratively and with the support of
partner federal agencies including the
Environmental Protection Agency. To
apply for membership of the roster a
professional needs to complete the
application form one time. Once an
application is approved, the roster
member has access to update
information online as needed.
The proposed collection is necessary
for screening new applicants and the
maintenance of the online roster system.
The application is available from the
U.S. Institute’s Web site at https://roster.
ecr.gov/reference/documents/2012
DRAFTRosterApplication.pdf.
