Our Alaska Regional Director, Aimee Devaris, has confirmed that we have shared the earlier 2002 literature review with BLM and FWS contacts in Alaska. Here is the link to share with the Deputy Secretary (we'd be happy to provide in hard copy as well): Douglas, D.C., Reynolds, P.E., and Rhode, E.B., 2002, Arctic Refuge coastal plain terrestrial wildlife research summaries, USGS Biological Science Report 2002-0001, 76 p. https://alaska.usas.aov/products/pubs/2Q02/2Q02-USGS-BRD-BSR-2002-0001.pdf Along these lines, Aimee just heard that FWS is putting some previously unpublished reports from the refuge on the web, so that would be material we did not include in our literature review, but Aimee has asked to get a listing of them. Deputy Secretary Bernhardt also asked about USGS liaisons to large projects, and in particular whether that might prove useful for the ANWR permitting process. Aimee reports that we already have John Pearce from our USGS Alaska Science Center in that role. Early on, Aimee and her FWS and BLM regional director counterparts saw the need to assign a liaison/POC for each of our Bureaus to ensure good coordination and communication at the "working level." John's counterpart for BLM is Nicole Hayes (their ANWR project manager), and for FWS it is Wendy Loya (who oversees the Arctic LCC). For energy assessments, Dave Houseknecht is the USGS lead, and as you know, he is a well-connected resource for all involved. I also relayed the Dep Sec's question about should the question be raised again.) (All this is probably just hip-pocket material for you Hope all that helps! Aimee is happy to brief any time.
