The Department of the Interior’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
policy encourages the use of a broad spectrum of processes available to
assist in effectively preventing, managing and resolving conflicts.
The program is designed to assist with disputes that may arise in four
areas: workplace, programmatic, procurement, and regulatory.
The Department’s
Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution (CADR) http://www.doi.gov/cadr/,
202-327-5383, can provide information on the ADR program.
Programmatic, Procurement, and Regulatory ADR
The Division of Policy and Directives Management (PDM) serves as the
Bureau Dispute Resolution Specialist and serves as the Service representative
on the Interior Dispute Resolution Council. PDM acts as a Service liaison
with the Department of the Interior CADR staff and ensures that Service
programs and initiatives are in compliance with Departmental guidelines.
PDM serves as the primary point of contact within the Service in all ADR
areas except for workplace, and will assist Service personnel with process
design, selection of neutrals, referrals and convening of cases/projects
as requested.
