OMB Control Number: 1040-0001

Expiration Date: 06/30/2015

From: Peter Lyttle, Program Coordinator for the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program.

As part of a review of the U.S. Geological Survey EDMAP program, we are contacting past participants in the program to find out how EDMAP helped them in their subsequent studies and employment and their overall satisfaction with their EDMAP experience. Please take a few minutes to give us your candid thoughts and opinions about your experience with EDMAP.

Your responses will be anonymous. No one except the survey administrator will know if you responded, and your name will never be attached to your responses. The only way anyone else can know that a comment comes from you, is if you write something that identifies yourself. The survey administrator is Stephen Gillespie, an economist in the Office of the Director of the USGS.

If you have questions about the EDMAP program, please contact Doug Howard at 703-648-6978 or email [email protected]. If you have questions about the survey, please contact Steve Gillespie at 703-648-5705 or email [email protected].

Thank you for participating in the evaluation of the EDMAP program. We will send the survey results to you as soon as they are available.
