designed to disseminate knowledge of

the psychological and neuropsychiatric

sequelae of HIV/AIDS to both traditional

(e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists,

nurses, primary care physicians,

medical students, and social workers)

and non-traditional (e.g., clergy, and

alternative health care workers) firstline providers of mental health services.

The multi-site assessment is designed

to assess the effectiveness of particular

training curricula, document the

integrity of training delivery formats,

and assess the effectiveness of the

various training delivery formats.

Analyses will assist CMHS in

documenting the numbers and types of

traditional and non-traditional mental

health providers accessing training; the

content, nature and types of training

participants receive; and the extent to

which trainees experience knowledge,

skill and attitude gains/changes as a

result of training attendance. The multisite data collection design uses a twotiered data collection and analytic

strategy to collect information on (1) the

organization and delivery of training,

and (2) the impact of training on

participants’ knowledge, skills and

abilities.

Information about the organization

and delivery of training will be

collected from trainers and staff who are

funded by these cooperative agreements

hence there is no respondent burden.

All training participants attending

sessions lasting less than 6 hours will be

asked to complete a brief feedback form

at the end of the training session.

Trainees attending sessions lasting 6

hours or longer will be asked to

complete brief pre-and post-session

feedback questionnaires. A sample of

trainees attending sessions lasting 6

hours or longer will also be asked to

complete a brief follow-up telephone

interview three months after the training

session. CMHS has funded seven

education sites under the Cooperative

Agreement for Mental Health Care

Provider Education in HIV/AIDS

Program II. The annual burden estimates

for this activity are shown below:

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Benefits Sharing Environmental

Assessment, National Park Service

AGENCY: U.S. Department of the Interior,

National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

National Park Service (NPS) concerning

the environmental impacts of

implementing ‘‘benefits-sharing’’

agreements when information derived

from research specimens collected from

units of the National Park System

results in commercial value.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of

the National Environmental Policy Act

of 1969, the National Park Service is

preparing an Environmental Assessment

of potential environmental impacts of

implementing ‘‘benefits-sharing’’

agreements for research projects that use

research specimens lawfully collected

from units of the National Park System.

NPS authorizes the collection of

research specimens from units of the

National Park System for qualified

scientific purposes under its regulations

(36 CFR 1.6 and 2.5). Occasionally, such

research also results in commercial

applications. ‘‘Benefits-sharing’’ refers

to the equitable and efficient exchange

of valuable research results, and in some

cases, economic resources, between

researchers and their institutions or

companies and the NPS. Through the

Federal Technology Transfer Act of

1986 and other statutes. Congress has

attempted to create incentives that

optimize the social, environmental and

economic benefits that can result from

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 122 / Monday, June 25, 2001 / Notices 33713

enhancing cooperative activities

between Federal and private sector

research organizations. In addition, the

National Parks Omnibus Management

Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–391)

specifically authorizes the negotiation of

‘‘equitable, efficient benefits-sharing

arrangements’’ between units of the

National Park System and the research

community.

NPS regulations provide that a park

superintendent may issue a permit to a

qualifying researcher when it

determined that ‘‘public health and

safety, environmental or scenic values,

natural or cultural resources, scientific

research, implementation of

management responsibilities, proper

allocation and use of facilities, or the

avoidance of conflict among visitor use

activities will be adversely impacted’’

(36 CFR 1.6(a)). Through a public

process, this environmental assessment

will examine potential environmental

impacts of various methods of

implementing the provisions of law that

authorizes benefits-sharing agreements

while ensuring the integrity of

resources.

A newsletter and web site have been

prepared with additional information

concerning this assessment. Copies of

that information may be obtained online

at www.nature.nps.gov/benefitsharing or

by contacting: NPS Benefits Sharing

Team, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone

benefitssharing. NPS practice is to make

comments, including the names and

address of respondents, available for

public review during regular business

hours. Individual respondents may

request that NPS withhold their address

from the record, which will be honored

to the extent allowable by law. There

also may be circumstances in which

NPS would withhold from the record a

respondent’s identity, to the extent

allowable by law. If you wish the NPS

to withhold your name and/or address,

you must state this prominently at the

beginning of your comments. NPS will

make all submissions from

organizations and businesses, and from

individuals identifying themselves as

representatives or officials or

organizations or businesses, available

for public inspection in their entirety.

of the assessment, alternatives to be

considered, impacts to be addressed,

and any other relevant related issues

should be submitted on or before
