Invitation to Comment on Draft ProspectusPublic Comment Period: Dear Colleague - You are invited to provide comments on the prospectus for a Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) Synthesis and Assessment Product: This is one of the 21 synthesis and assessment products being prepared by the CCSP. The Climate Change Science Program coordinates and directs U.S. research efforts in the areas of climate and global change. The Program completed and released a Strategic Plan in July 2003 to guide its activities. More information about the CCSP can be found in the Strategic Plan for the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. The Strategic Plan commits the program to prepare synthesis and assessment products to support informed discussion and decision making regarding climate variability and change. The first set of products is described in the strategic plan. The program has also released guidelines for the synthesis and assessment products. These guidelines establish a broadly standardized methodology for product development that will facilitate involvement of the research community and the public in ensuring that the products are focused in a useful fashion and meet the highest standards of scientific excellence. The guidelines also encourage transparency by ensuring that public information about the status of the products will be provided through the Federal Register, on the CCSP website, and through other means. The personnel who are guiding preparation of these products are listed in each prospectus along with their contact information. These individuals are leaders in their respective fields, and I wish to publicly acknowledge their efforts in this work. To begin the review of this product, follow the appropriate link to access the instructions and the prospectus. We appreciate your participation and constructive comments. Sincerely, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Affairs, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration See also the Federal Register notice of 21 June 2006. |
