Abstract: Public Law 117–58, Section 40201, ‘‘Earth Mapping Resources Initiative’’ contained in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act [otherwise known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)] authorizes and accelerates the mapping efforts of the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). Earth MRI is a component of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program and is a national effort to carry out the fundamental resources- and mapping mission of the USGS. The goal of Earth MRI is to modernize the surface- and subsurface geologic mapping of the United States, with a focus on identifying areas that may have the potential to contain mineral resources. The BIL directed the USGS to accelerate efforts to carry out fundamental integrated topographic, geologic, geochemical, and geophysical mapping and provide interpretation of subsurface and above-ground (mine waste) critical-mineral resources data at a funding level of $320,000,000 annually for five years (FY2022– FY2026). The USGS developed a new competitive cooperative agreement program with the State geological surveys to support mine-waste activities authorized and funded by the BIL. State geological surveys apply for funds through an annual competitive agreement process. Individual State projects last for up to two years. BIL Section 40201 stipulates that the USGS may enter into cooperative agreements with State geological surveys to accelerate the efforts of Earth MRI. The BIL requires the USGS to collect information necessary to ensure that cooperative-agreement funds authorized by this legislation are used in accordance with the BIL and Federal assistance requirements under 2 CFR 200. Information collected by Earth MRI as part of the consolidated workplan is described below. The USGS seeks Office of Management and Budget approval to continue to collect this information to manage and monitor cooperative agreement awards to comply with the BIL. E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM 25APN1
