Aimee,
How I translated your correspondence into a note to W&S...
Many thanks for being so responsive!

Tim and all,
A few follow-ups from the Deputy Secretary meeting this afternoon.
I checked, and we do not have any QFR's in arrears. The only ones currently in our hands are from last week's Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee hearing on natural hazards and aren't due for a couple more weeks. (By the way, I just saw this nice summary that the American Institute of Physics did of the hearing, emphasizing the level of support conveyed for the USGS role in the hazards arena.)
I wanted to follow up on the discussion of the infrastructure package. Although the focus at the meeting was on BOR, I did want to make the pitch that USGS has potentially a significant role to play both in terms of investments in our own scientific infrastructure and in the need for resource availability and hazard assessments to inform the larger suite of investments. I think you were at the Senate briefing we did back in March 2017 on how USGS could participate -- I'm attaching the one-pager prepared for that. We have lots more material to share.
Regarding Alaska activities, I wasn't sure what follow-up was needed on Bernhardt's question about! " '
I am looking into getting hold of the 2002 USGS report that is the predecessor to the new literature review of ecological research in ANWR and will circle back on that.
We will work on the requested briefing paper about USGS overhead rates charged on reimbursable agreements, due next Friday 2/16.
We will provide some examples to you of USGS liaisons to large projects
We can discuss some of these action items at Monday's 1pm tag-up call.

Aimee,
Is this doable in the timeframe that Andrea has set? I think the focus is on the ecological studies as she had another about energy ones, which I will also forward.

Another follow up in regards to the information below. By COB Tuesday this week (2/13) can we get a spreadsheet with all studies (partners, timelines, funding, etc) currently being conducted and or in process in the 1002 area? Send to Tim and I so we both have since I am on travel this week.

Some additional follow-up from the meeting with the Deputy Secretary specifically on Alaska matters.
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 wellconnected 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.

Dave-
In regards to the Alaska follow up let's get a meeting set up for later in the week of Feb. 22 or 23 to meet with your Energy team that is working on the assessment. Also I think it would be good to meet in regards to all energy assessments to get an update on status of the projects.
I have cc'ed Michelle to find some time for us and your team to meet.
Thanks. Andrea
