Abstract

The VA will send this brief survey to Veterans and eligible beneficiaries who recently graduated from college. The sampled customers will be contacted through an invitation email. A link will be enclosed so the survey may be completed using an online interface, with customized customer information. The survey itself consists of a handful of questions revolving around a human-centered design, focusing on such elements as trust, emotion, effective, and ease with the services and educational care they received. The information provided will be used by VA to measure how recent graduates who used the GI Bill feel about the institution they attended, and the education they received. This includes quality of classes, in person versus online learning, GI Bill support (or supportiveness of school certifying officials), degree of support for the Veteran community at the institution, and overall experience.

Abstract

The Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) was enacted to preserve paleontological resources for current and future generations because these resources are nonrenewable and are an irreplaceable part of America’s heritage. PRPA requires that implementation be coordinated between the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture and that DOI and USDA issue regulations as appropriate to carry out the law. We (DOI) are proposing regulations to implement the PRPA. The proposed rule would preserve, manage, and protect paleontological resources on BLM, NPS, Reclamation, and FWS lands and ensure that these resources are available for current and future generations to enjoy as part of America’s national heritage. The rule would address the management, collection, and curation of paleontological resources from Federal lands using scientific principles and expertise, including collection in accordance with permits, curation in an approved repository, maintenance of confidentiality of specific locality data, and authorization of penalties for illegal collecting, damaging, otherwise altering or defacing, or sale of paleontological resources. Information collected will allow the DOI bureaus to inventory paleontological resources, implement the permitted collection of fossils from the ground, preserve collected fossils in repositories, track and report the location and condition of paleontological resources, implement the civil penalties provisions with due process considerations, and monitor the results of scientific investigations that involve the use of paleontological resources in both the field and in museum collections.
