Sorry, but we western cavers are mostly blissfully ignorant of what is still available under the USFWS ban.
I would like to know what is available before shelling out the registration and airfare to get to Alabama. Any official or pseudo-official response would be appreciated. I assume I will have to spray 409 on all my gear as well?
WNS sucks.

The organizers have spoken to the DNR (Department of Natural Resources?) which does own and manage several caves. They have a plan about what can be done without putting any bats at risk. Ohter caves are privately owned. So the seminar is on. It'll be a good'ne.

Thanks for the update.
I'm really looking forward to the weeklong. I put my name in the hat for the pilot program they are going to have this year.
It looks like fun.

The NCRC website has been down for a couple of days now.
When I attempt to log in I get the following:
