[FRL–9902–05–OP] 

Notice of Availability for Public Review 

and Comment: Draft EPA Climate 

Change Adaptation Implementation 

Plans 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Scientific evidence 

demonstrates that the climate is 

changing at an increasingly rapid rate, 

outside the range to which society has 

adapted in the past. Climate change can 

pose significant challenges to the EPA’s 

ability to fulfill its mission. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency is 

committed to identifying and 

responding to the challenges that a 

changing climate poses to human health 

and the environment. It is essential 

therefore, that the EPA adapt to climate 

change in order to continue fulfilling its 

statutory, regulatory and programmatic 

requirements, chief among these 

protection of human health and the 

environment. Adaptation will involve 

anticipating and planning for changes in 

climate and incorporating 

considerations of climate change into 

many of the Agency’s programs, 

policies, rules and operations to ensure 

they are effective under changing 

climatic conditions. Adaptation also 

necessitates close coordination between 

EPA and its many partners and 

stakeholders. 

In February 2013, EPA published its 

draft Agency Climate Change 

Adaptation Plan (draft Plan) in response 

to the President’s October 2009 

Executive Order (E.O. 13514—‘‘Federal 

Leadership in Environmental, Energy, 

and Economic Performance’’) and the 

March 2011 ‘‘Implementing Instructions 

to all Federal Department and 

Agencies.’’ The Plan is being finalized 

based upon comments received during a 

60-day public review and comment 

period earlier in 2013. EPA’s Program 

and Regional Offices have produced 

draft Climate Change Adaptation 

Implementation Plans 

(‘‘Implementation Plans’’) that provide 

more detail on how they will carry out 

the work called for in the Agency-wide 

Plan. 

Today, EPA announces the 

availability of public review drafts of its 

draft Implementation Plans; one for 

each of its ten Regions and seven 

National Programs. The draft 

Implementation Plans will be available 

for a 60-day public review and comment 

period. 

The public review drafts of EPA’s 

draft Implementation Plans have been 

posted to a public docket and they are 

available on the Agency Web site at this 

URL address: http://epa.gov/

climatechange/impacts-adaptation/fedprograms/EPA-impl-plans.html. The 

Docket for public comment can be 

found on the Federal Government 

Regulations Web site (http://

www.regulations.gov/# !home). It is 

Docket Number EPA–HQ–OA–2013– 

0568. 

DATES: The public should respond to the 

EPA with comment via the public 

docket no later than January 3, 2014. 

Only comments received by the 

deadline will be considered by the 

Agency in finalizing its plan. 

ADDRESSES: If you have questions about 

responding to this notice, please contact 

Gerald Filbin by phone (202–566–2182), 

or by mail (1200 Pennsylvania Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC 20460). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

working to fulfill its mission to protect 

human health and the environment. As 

EPA articulated in its draft Agency 

Climate Change Adaptation Plan, many 

of the goals EPA is working to attain 

(e.g., clean air, safe drinking water) are 

sensitive to changes in weather and 

climate. Until now, EPA has been able 

to assume that climate is relatively 

stable and future climate would mirror 

past climate. However, with climate 

changing at an increasingly rapid rate 

and outside the range to which society 

has adapted in the past, climate change 

is posing new challenges to EPA’s 

ability to fulfill its mission. The 

Agency’s draft Implementation Plans 

provide a road map for the Agency to

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2013 / Notices 65981 

address future changes in climate and to 

incorporate considerations of climate 

change into its mission-driven activities. 

EPA considers public input to be 

essential for the development of these 

draft Implementation Plans. This input 

will also help the Agency strengthen its 

partnerships with states, tribes, local 

communities, and non-governmental 

organizations, many of which have 

already begun to develop and 

implement adaptation measures.
