SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Context: The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is 
mandated under the Global Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 to conduct 
a quadrennial National Climate Assessment (NCA). Under its current, 
updated decadal strategic plan (http://go.usa.gov/x9MCQ), USGCRP is 
building sustained assessment capacity. The sustained assessment 
supports the Nation's ability to understand, anticipate, and respond to 
risks and potential impacts brought about by global environmental 
change. Work on the fourth National Climate Assessment is currently 
underway.
    To provide clarity on the process of developing the Assessment, and 
opportunities for community involvement, the USGCRP will be continually 
providing updates on the status of the Assessment and engagement 
opportunities via http://www.globalchange.gov/nca4. Public notices will 
be posted at http://www.globalchange.gov/notices, and updates on 
Assessment milestones will be posted at http://www.globalchange.gov/news.
