BILLING CODE 4710–AD–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

Call for Expert Reviewers To Submit 

Comments on the Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 

Working Group II Contribution to the 

Sixth Assessment Report. 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Call for Expert Reviewers to 

Submit Comments on the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC) Working Group II 

Contribution to the Sixth Assessment 

Report 

SUMMARY: The Department of State, in 

cooperation with the United States 

Global Change Research Program 

(USGCRP), requests expert review of the 

second-order draft of the IPCC Working 

Group II (WGII) contribution to the 

Sixth Assessment Report cycle (AR6), 

including the first draft of the Summary 

for Policymakers (SPM). 

The United Nations Environment 

Programme (UNEP) and the World 

Meteorological Organization (WMO) 

established the IPCC in 1988. As 

reflected in its governing documents, 

the role of the IPCC is to assess on a 

comprehensive, objective, open, and 

transparent basis the scientific, 

technical, and socio-economic 

information relevant to understanding 

the scientific basis of risk of humaninduced climate change, its potential 

impacts, and options for adaptation and 

mitigation. IPCC reports should be 

neutral with respect to policy, although 

they may need to deal objectively with 

scientific, technical, and socioeconomic factors relevant to the 

application of particular policies. The 

principles and procedures for the IPCC 

and its preparation of reports can be 

found at: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/ 

assets/uploads/2018/09/ipccprinciples.pdf and https://www.ipcc.ch/ 

site/assets/uploads/2018/09/ipccprinciples-appendix-a-final.pdf. In 

accordance with these procedures, IPCC 

documents undergo peer review by 

experts and governments. The purpose 

of these reviews is to ensure the reports 

present a comprehensive, objective, and 

balanced view of the subject matter they 

cover. 

As part of the U.S. government 

review—starting December 4, 2020— 

experts wishing to contribute to the U.S. 

government review are encouraged to 

register via the USGCRP Review and 

Comment System (https://

review.globalchange.gov). Instructions 

and the second-order draft will be 

available for download via the system. 

In accordance with IPCC policy, drafts 

of the report are provided for review 

purposes only and are not to be cited or 

distributed. All technical comments 

received that are relevant to the text 

under review will be forwarded to the 

IPCC authors for their consideration. To 

be considered for inclusion in the U.S. 

government submission, comments 

must be received by January 8, 2021. 

Experts may choose to provide 

comments directly through the IPCC’s 

expert review process, which occurs in 

parallel with the U.S. government 

review: https://apps.ipcc.ch/comments/ 

ar6wg1/sod/. To avoid duplication, 

experts are requested to submit 

comments via either the USGCRP or 

IPCC review websites, not both. 

This notice will be published in the 

Federal Register.

Deputy Director, Office of Global Change,
