The U.S. Department of Agriculture, a member of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, has undertaken research on issues related to climate change and natural resources over the past two decades. USDA recently prepared a major scientific assessment of the effects of climate change on agriculture, land resources, water resources and biodiversity in the U.S. for CCSP.
USDA is now requesting input from the public on its effort to prepare a Strategic Plan for Climate Change Research, Education & Extension. This request was published in the Aug. 6 Federal Register for a 45-day public comment period. Public comments will be considered during the preparation of the Strategic Plan. The final version of the Strategic Plan will be published on USDA's web site. Public comments received in response to this request will be made available upon request.
Comments must be received by Sept. 19 and should be sent to Eleanor Rollings, Special Assistant to the Under Secretary for Research, Education & Extension, USDA, Jamie L. Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, D.C. 20250, e-mail Eleanor.rollings@usda.gov, phone (202) 720-1542.
