Publication of Award Announcement for Cooperative Agreement With 
the Student Conservation Association, Inc., for Recruitment and 
Placement of College-Age and Other Qualified Volunteers to 
Headquarters, Centers, and Field Stations of the U.S. Geological Survey 
(USGS)

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, Geological Survey.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The USGS announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2002 
funds for a cooperative agreement to provide recruitment and placement 
of college-age and other qualified volunteers to accomplish resource 
management tasks in the areas of biology, water, soil, air, waste, 
mineral, marine, environmental education, mapping, and geology to 
centers and field stations of the USGS. The purpose of this program is 
to provide opportunities to college-age students and other qualified 
volunteers to obtain experience in support of resource management and 
research tasks for limited periods on USGS projects. Assistance will be 
provided only to the Student Conservation Association, Inc. No other 
applications are solicited. Eligibility is limited to the Student 
Conservation Association, Inc., because no other known organization 
recruits and places volunteers with Federal earth science agencies and 
organizations.
    Other qualified organizations that provide recruitment and 
placement of college-age students and other qualified volunteers are 
invited to provide an affirmative response to this notice. Response 
should consist of an organization chart, a brief history, and 
description of similar volunteer placement activities, including 
locations and contact information, numbers of volunteers placed, 
activities, and projects undertaken. Responses must be in writing but 
may be submitted via e-mail within 2 weeks of publication of this 
notice to the Business Technical Contact listed below.
    No funds will be awarded under this agreement. Funding will be 
awarded through cooperative project awards based upon requests from 
headquarters, science centers and field stations for the placement of 
qualified volunteers. The USGS anticipates awarding this 60-month 
cooperative agreement on or about May 14, 2002.
