SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.

Institute for Environmental Conflict

Resolution: The U.S. Institute for

Environmental Conflict Resolution is a

federal program established by the U.S.

Congress to assist parties in resolving

environmental, natural resource, and

public lands conflicts. The Institute is

part of the Morris K. Udall Foundation,

an independent federal agency of the

executive branch overseen by a board of

trustees appointed by the President. The

Institute serves as an impartial, nonpartisan institution providing

professional expertise, services, and

resources to all parties involved in such

disputes, regardless of who initiates or

pays for assistance. The Institute helps

parties determine whether collaborative

problem solving is appropriate for

specific environmental conflicts, how

and when to bring all the parties to the

table, and whether a third-party

facilitator or mediator might be helpful

in assisting the parties in their efforts to

reach consensus or to resolve the

conflict. In addition, the Institute

maintains a roster of qualified

facilitators and mediators with

substantial experience in environmental

conflict resolution, the National Roster

of Environmental Dispute Resolution

and Consensus Building Professionals

(Roster of ECR Practitioners), and can

help parties in selecting an appropriate

neutral.

The Roster of ECR Practitioners: The

U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict

Resolution continues to accept

applications for the National Roster of

Environmental Dispute Resolution and

Consensus Building Professionals

(Roster of ECR Practitioners). The roster

includes approximately 155

practitioners with substantial

experience as mediators, facilitators, or

other collaborative process neutral roles,

in environmental cases and processes.

The roster serves as a resource for the

Institute in making referrals and when

sub-contracting with practitioners. It

also serves as a resource for federal

agencies and other stakeholders when

seeking to contract with a practitioner.

A roster search and referral is currently

available by contacting the Institute and

will eventually be available to all on the

web.

Information About and the

Application for the Roster of ECR

Practitioners: The roster application can

be completed and submitted online

from the Institute’s web site:

www.ecr.gov. Complete information

about the Institute, the development and

purpose of the roster, the entry criteria,

and a score sheet are available for your

use and review on the Institute’s web

site. Click the roster link. Please review

the entry criteria, the application’s

glossary definitions, and the

instructions carefully to ensure a

prompt determination.

The Sub-Roster of Transportation

Mediators & Facilitators: The Institute is

33980 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 26, 2001 / Notices

also assembling a roster of qualified

dispute resolution and consensus

building professionals with particular

experience in transportation cases: the

Sub-Roster of Transportation Mediators

& Facilitators (‘‘Transportation Roster’’).

The Institute will draw from members of

the Roster of ECR Practitioners to

assemble the Transportation Roster. The

Transportation Roster is part of an ADR

system designed through an interagency

agreement with the Federal Highway

Administration. The system includes

the development of a guidance

document, a training course, and the

Transportation Roster. Information

about the Transportation Roster and the

appropriate use of neutrals will be

provided to every relevant federal and

state transportation, environmental, and

historical review agency as part of a new

guidance document (Environmental

Streamlining and Conflict Management.)

Transportation roster members will be

available to all of these agencies to help

design collaborative processes and to

resolve interagency disputes that arise

during environmental reviews of

transportation projects. Transportation

Roster members will also be a primary

source of trainers for planned

interagency training on negotiations and

conflict management.

Eligibility for the Transportation

Roster: Environmental conflict

resolution practitioners (mediators,

facilitators, consensus builders, etc.)

must first be members of the National

Roster of Environmental Dispute

Resolution and Consensus Building

Professionals (Roster of ECR

Practitioners) and then submit the

Transportation Roster application

demonstrating that they meet the

Transportation Roster entry criteria.

Entry criteria include experience as a

neutral in transportation cases and/or as

employees of, or consultants to, relevant

agencies.

More Information About, and the

Application for, the Transportation

Roster: More information is available on

the Institute’s website: www.ecr.gov.

Click the roster link. Click the

Transportation Roster link on the right

hand navigation bar. The links on that

page will connect to a packet of

background information, entry criteria

and other requirements, applicable

definitions, instructions and the short

application in a MSWord or

WordPerfect file. Practitioners are

reminded that they must first apply to,

and be a member of, the Roster of ECR

Practitioners.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of

proposed records schedules; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA)

publishes notice at least once monthly

of certain Federal agency requests for

records disposition authority (records

schedules). Once approved by NARA,

records schedules provide mandatory

instructions on what happens to records

when no longer needed for current

Government business. They authorize

the preservation of records of

continuing value in the National

Archives of the United States and the

destruction, after a specified period, of

records lacking administrative, legal,

research, or other value. Notice is

published for records schedules in

which agencies propose to destroy

records not previously authorized for

disposal or reduce the retention period

of records already authorized for

disposal. NARA invites public

comments on such records schedules, as

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before August

10, 2001. Once the appraisal of the

records is completed, NARA will send

a copy of the schedule. NARA staff

usually prepare appraisal

memorandums that contain additional

information concerning the records

covered by a proposed schedule. These,

too, may be requested and will be

provided once the appraisal is

completed. Requesters will be given 30

days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of any

records schedule identified in this

notice, write to the Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA), 8601 Adelphi

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Requests also may be transmitted by

FAX to 301–713–6852 or by e-mail to

records.mgt@nara.gov. Requesters must

cite the control number, which appears

in parentheses after the name of the

agency which submitted the schedule,

and must provide a mailing address.

Those who desire appraisal reports

should so indicate in their request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marie Allen, Director, Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Telephone: (301)713–7110. E-mail:

records.mgt@nara.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

Federal agencies create billions of

records on paper, film, magnetic tape,

and other media. To control this

accumulation, agency records managers

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA’s approval, using

the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for

Records Disposition Authority. These

schedules provide for the timely transfer

into the National Archives of

historically valuable records and

authorize the disposal of all other

records after the agency no longer needs

them to conduct its business. Some

schedules are comprehensive and cover

all the records of an agency or one of its

major subdivisions. Most schedules,

however, cover records of only one

office or program or a few series of

records. Many of these update

previously approved schedules, and

some include records proposed as

permanent.

No Federal records are authorized for

destruction without the approval of the

Archivist of the United States. This

approval is granted only after a

thorough consideration of their

administrative use by the agency of

origin, the rights of the Government and

of private persons directly affected by

the Government’s activities, and

whether or not they have historical or

other value.

Besides identifying the Federal

agencies and any subdivisions

requesting disposition authority, this

public notice lists the organizational

unit(s) accumulating the records or

indicates agency-wide applicability in

the case of schedules that cover records

that may be accumulated throughout an

agency. This notice provides the control

number assigned to each schedule, the

total number of schedule items, and the

number of temporary items (the records

proposed for destruction). It also

includes a brief description of the

temporary records. The records

schedule itself contains a full

description of the records at the file unit

level as well as their disposition. If

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal

memorandum for the schedule, it too
