SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abstract: The U.S. Institute is a federal program established by Congress to assist parties in resolving environmental, natural resource, and public lands conflicts. The U.S. Institute serves as an impartial, non-partisan institution, and accomplishes much of its work by partnering, contracting with, or referral to, experienced practitioners. In addition, the U.S. Institute maintains the National Roster of Environmental Dispute Resolution and Consensus Building Professionals (roster). The Application for the National Roster of Environmental Dispute Resolution and Consensus Building 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 the Environmental Protection Agency. A professional needs to complete the application form one time. Once an application is approved, the roster member has access to update information online. The proposed collection is necessary to support ongoing maintenance of the roster and a continuous, open application process. The application and supplementary information are available from the U.S. Institute’s Web site. From https:// www.ecr.gov/Resources/Roster/ Roster.aspx, choose righthand navigation bar link to: ‘‘Roster Application: Info and Log In’’. Burden Statement: Burden for potentially affected public: environmental dispute resolution and consensus building professionals (new respondents); existing roster members (for updating). Proposed Frequency of Response: One initial, with voluntary updates approximately once per year. Annual Number of Respondents: 30 (new response); 125 (update). Time per Respondent: 2.5 hours (new response); 15 minutes (update). Total Annual Hours Burden: 106 (new response and update combined). Annual Cost Burden: $3,359 (new response); $1,399 (update). Total Annual Cost Burden: $4,758 (new response and update combined); labor costs exclusively; no capital or start-up costs.

Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation, and Federal Register Liaison Officer. [FR Doc.
