* The Standards Council of Canada
(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Substance
Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that
program were accredited to conduct
forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the
certification of those accredited
Canadian laboratories will continue
under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance
testing plus periodic on-site inspections
of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories
was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with
the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance
testing and laboratory inspection
processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to
be qualified, HHS will recommend that
DOT certify the laboratory (Federal
Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the
minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal
Register on January 23, 2017 (82 FR
7920). After receiving DOT certification,
the laboratory will be included in the
monthly list of HHS-certified
laboratories and participate in the NLCP
certification maintenance program.

Abstract: The USGS Cooperative Fish
and Wildlife Research Units Program
originated in 1935 to fill a need for
qualified wildlife and fisheries
professionals and provide evidence
based graduate research to inform
resource management. Currently the
program has 40 individual Units in 38
states and formalizes relationships
among a state natural resources
management agency, a host university,
the USGS, the USFWS, and the Wildlife
Management Institute. The program’s
graduate education and research
mission has remained largely
unchanged through its tenure, yet the
issues challenging fish and wildlife
conservation have transformed. This
raises questions about the program’s
support and sustainability into the
future and how best to address
cooperator needs.
Through focused surveys and
interviews, this information collection
will ask participants to evaluate their
communication and relationships with
individuals in the program. The data
will be used to examine the structure,
communication, and socio-technical
connectivity using network analysis and
agent based modeling. This information
collection aims to improve our
understanding of the Cooperative
Research Units Program and how it
meets its partners’ needs.
Title of Collection: Information
collection through surveys and
interviews to improve the Cooperative
Research Units Program mission,
functions, and goals.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:

governments, and businesses which are
