**This year, all Scientists Emeriti MUST fill out the online version of
the USGS Individual Volunteer Services Agreement Form 9-2080. We
apologize that this is different from last year, but the process is
mandated by the Bureau.**

**How to find Form 9-2080**

-   Form 9-2080 is only on the USGS Intranet.

-   <https://gsvaresa08.er.usgs.gov/WebForms/9-2080.nsf/9-2080?OpenForm>

-   You MUST use your Lotus Notes Internet password to have access to
    the form. This is NOT your regular Lotus Notes password. If you
    don\'t know your internet password, you can either call the Help
    Desk at X4357 (this works for all USGS locations) or email them at
    GS Help Desk (from inside the USGS) or GS_Help_Desk@usgs.gov (for
    those of you outside the USGS facilities).

-   If you do not have access to the USGS Intranet, contact your
    Administrative Officer, and have him/her enter the data for you.
    They can send you a blank version of the 9-2080 form, which you can
    fill out by hand and send back to them.

    distinguished careers with the USGS and who are now less involved in
    USGS science activities. These SE are assigned to an organizational
    unit based upon their geographic location and receive some limited
    resources, such as access to a phone, email, and the internet.

-   **All other Scientists Emeriti must include additional items in
    Section 4. If you need more than 10 lines, select "Cont. Page" from
    top left of page.**

1.  Address (including room number) where you conduct your Scientist
    Emeritus activities.

7.  Discuss what you accomplished during Fiscal Year 2007.  This
    information MUST be provided annually after you have completed your
