framework of areas that are vital to the
welfare of individual States.
The NCGMP EDMAP program
allocates funds to colleges and
universities in the United States and
Puerto Rico through an annual
competitive cooperative agreement
process. Every Federal dollar awarded is
matched with university funds. Geology
professors, who are skilled in geologic
mapping, request EDMAP funding to
support undergraduate and graduate
students at their college or university in
a one-year mentored geologic mapping
project that focuses on a specific
geographic area.
Only State Geological Surveys are
eligible to apply to the STATEMAP
component of the NCGMP pursuant to
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148). Since many State
Geological Surveys are organized under
a state university system, such
universities may submit a proposal on
behalf of the State Geological Survey.
Each fall, the program announcements
are posted to the Grants.gov website and
respondents are required to submit
applications (comprising Standard Form
424, 424A, 424B, Proposal Summary
Sheet, the Proposal, and Budget Sheets.
Additionally, EDMAP proposals must
include a Negotiated Rate Agreement
and a Support letter from a State
Geologist or USGS Project Chief).
Since 1996, more than $5 million
from the NCGMP has supported
geologic mapping efforts of more than
1,200 students working with more than
260 professors at 161 universities in 44
states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. Funds for graduate projects
are limited to $17,500 and
undergraduate project funds limited to
$10,000. These funds are used to cover
field expenses and student salaries, but
not faculty salaries or tuition. The
authority for both programs is listed in
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148).
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.
Title of Collection: National
Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
(NCGMP–EDMAP and STATEMAP).
OMB Control Number: 1028–0088.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
