SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The USGS NCCWSC will offer
financial support through a cooperative
agreement to organizations that
maintain the physical facility,
professional science researchers and
super-computing capacity to host one of
these regional centers. The purpose of
this Program Announcement is to
identify organizations that are willing to
host a Regional Center, and to determine
if their science and partnership
capabilities are sufficient to serve as a
Host organization. Host organizations
must be able to contribute climate
science capabilities that complement
and enhance USGS and DOI scientific
and computational capacity, and those
of other science partners. Information
from this collection will be used to
evaluate proposals submitted for
consideration by the NCCWSC.

III. Request for Comments
On November 19, 2009, we published
a Federal Register notice (74 FR 59989)
soliciting comments announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. We solicited comments for a
period of 60 days, ending on January 19,
2010. We received one comment
concerning that FEDERAL REGISTER
notice and we responded to the
following comment in a timely manner.
Comment: Fort Collins—where deer
diseases started. Your site is hardly a
favorable site for sound science since
Fort Collins is where they diseased deer.
Many state agencies and colleges are
poor choices for this kind of site since
they have hired people with
preordained minds and closed minds.
They practice junk science. I would
nominate the NJ Div Fish & Game
Division of NJDEP and Rutgers
Agribusiness division, both of which
seem to have hired biased individuals
who don’t even practice scientific
principles or methods. In my opinion,
these divisions seem to hire people with
their minds made up who blacklist
those who have conflicting views. It is
not an open place or site where methods
and processes can be discussed. You
need to be careful in aligning yourself
with the state agencies that ‘‘manage’’
wildlife. They all seem to be stocked by
card carrying members of the gun clubs
who believe in guns and killing. That
kind of closed mind is certainly not
environmental in the least. You need to
be very careful that you are getting the
best science for this kind of project. If
you can’t get the best science, you might
as well not spend the taxpayer dollars
because the taxpayers are already
paying for a lot of inaccurate, unfactual
junk science.
Response: Hello, and thank you for
your comment on Federal Register
document, FR Doc. E9–27780. This
response acknowledges our receipt of
your comment. We would like to assure
you that the USGS mission and goal is
to provide the best unbiased science
that we can. This is the reason we are
