Annual refresher training is mandatory. All RPC employees are subject to a thorough background security investigation.

At the Resettlement Support Centers (RSC) overseas, all paper records containing personal information are maintained in secured file cabinets in restricted areas, access to which is limited to authorized personnel only. RSC staff are briefed on the confidentiality of refugee data and instructed regarding proper handling procedures. Access to computerized files is password-protected and under the direct supervision of the system manager. Centralized electronic storage and retrieval assist operational managers at headquarters and overseas to identify and resolve processing delays, plan accurately for refugee arrivals, improve program analysis, and preserve overseas records in case of evacuation or disasters in overseas processing locations. The system manager has the capability of printing audit trails of access from the computer media, thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of computer usage.

Records are retired or destroyed in accordance with the published records schedules of the Department of State as approved by the National Archives and Records Administration.

At the RPC, WRAPS records are maintained offline for an additional 10 years, and then deleted when 15 years old. Statistical data are kept indefinitely.

Hard copies of the results of the DNA relationship testing between individuals in the United States and family members overseas applying for admission based on their familial relationship will be destroyed immediately after relevant information is entered into Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing System database by RPC staff.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The United States and Jordan announced the establishment of the U.S.-Jordan Joint Forum on Environmental Technical Cooperation (Joint Forum) when they signed the U.S.-Jordan Joint Statement on Environmental Technical Cooperation (Joint Statement), on October 24, 2000, along with the U.S.- Jordan FTA. The Joint Forum is to meet regularly and advance environmental protection in Jordan by developing environmental technical cooperation initiatives, which take into account environmental priorities, and which are agreed to by the two governments. In paragraph 4 of the Joint Statement, the countries identify an initial focus of technical cooperation on Jordanian environmental quality issues and the development and effective implementation of Jordanian environmental laws, as defined in Articles 5.4 and 18.2(a) of the U.S.- Jordan FTA.

The Joint Forum has met twice since 2000—in September 2004 and March 2009—and issued two plans for implementing the Joint Statement. The first—a Plan of Action—focused on implementing a strategic vision for Jordan’s Ministry of Environment, established in 2002, to promote sustainable economic growth and development. The plan outlined activities to, among other things, strengthen the Ministry’s capacity for setting, implementing, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards; harness market forces to protect the environment while bringing economic benefits; undertake industrial wastewater treatment and hazardous waste management for a target region; seek out economic benefits of ecotourism; and promote the development of a regional network of environmental lawmakers and enforcement officials.

The second, a Work Program for 2008–2011, identifies long-term goals and specifies activities in four priority areas. The long-term goals are to achieve: (1) Compliance with obligations in Article 5 (Environment) of the U.S.-Jordan FTA; (2) improved protection and conservation of the environment, including natural resources; (3) transparency and meaningful public participation in environmental decision-making; and (4) a culture of environmental protection and compliance with environmental laws through, among other things, the promotion of economic opportunities, voluntary measures to enhance environmental performance, and job creation. The priority areas are: (1) Institutional and policy strengthening; (2) biodiversity conservation and improved management of protected areas; (3) improved private sector environmental performance; and (4) environmental education, transparency, and public participation in environmental decision-making and enforcement.

For the 2012–2013 Work Program, we anticipate building upon the cooperative work initiated under the previous two plans. We are requesting suggestions that may be considered for inclusion in the next Work Program.

Disclaimer: This Public Notice is a request for comments and suggestions, and is not a request for applications. No granting of money is directly associated with this request for suggestions for the Work Program. There is no expectation of resources or funding associated with any comments or suggestions for the Work Program.

Dated: January 31, 2012. George Sibley, Director, Office of Environmental Policy, Department of State.
