Newly Renovated USGS Web Sites Designed to Better Serve Users:

The USGS Energy and Minerals Resources Program (MRP) Web sites are now quicker,
more intuitive, and more user-friendly after a recent renovation. The
energy site contains an easy-to-find list of scientific activities
organized by commodity, research topic, project topic, and region of
study. The site is available at http://energy.usgs.gov. The updated
minerals Web pages fulfill the FY 2006 portion of the Program Improvement
Plan designed in partnership with OMB following the 2003 PART review of
MRP.

The MRP Web site can be found at http://minerals.usgs.gov.
