Announcement of Public Briefing on Development of a Database of 
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated With Fossil Fuel Extraction From 
Federal Lands

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: USGS will conduct a public briefing on its work to develop a 
publicly accessible database on the greenhouse gas emissions associated 
with extraction of fossil fuels from federal lands.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Friday, December 2, 2016 from 9 a.m. 
to 11 a.m. ET.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the USGS Auditorium (1C111), 
USGS National Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, VA 20192.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robin O'Malley, Climate and Land 
Use Change Mission Area, U.S. Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley 
Drive, Mail Stop 516, Reston, VA 20192, [email protected], (703) 648-
4086.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In January 2015, Interior Secretary Jewell 
requested that the U.S. Geological Survey ``establish and maintain a 
public database to account for the annual carbon emissions from fossil 
fuels developed on federal lands.'' This meeting will provide a 
briefing on the basic methods, data sources, and likely format and 
content of project output. Results and data will not be presented; 
these will be contained in reports that undergo full USGS peer review 
and are expected in mid-2017. Note: In addition to carbon dioxide 
(CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, the USGS 
project team was also able to obtain data for nitrous oxide 
(N2O) emissions.
    Meeting Agenda: The objective of this meeting is to provide the 
public with a basic understanding of the methods being employed in this 
project and to

ask questions. There will be several presentations followed by a 
question and answer period. Members of the public will be asked to 
state questions succinctly; written materials may be provided after the 
meeting (see contact information above) to expand upon any questions or 
comments.
    The meeting location is open to the public and is wheel-chair 
accessible. Please contact USGS (see above) if additional assistive/
interpretive or other services are required. We will do our best to 
meet any such needs. Public parking is available without charge in the 
USGS Visitor Lot.
