SUMMARY: The U.S. Geological Survey is announcing the availability of 
funds through the Species at Risk Program (SAR). The basic purpose of 
SAR is to fund short-term research and assessment projects to generate 
information that allows development of conservation agreements, action 
plans, and management alternatives that provide for the protection of 
flora and fauna and their habitats and thereby reduce the need for 
listing species as threatened or endangered.

DATES: Information packages describing requirements for participation 
in this program will be available upon request until October 29, 1999. 
Pre-proposals are due to the address below by November 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Parties interested in this program should request an 
information package from: Species at Risk Program, U.S. Geological 
Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 300, Reston, VA 20192 ATTN: Dr. 
Al Sherk.
