Preparation of Fifth U.S. Climate 

Action Report 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States is a Party 

to the United Nations Framework 

Convention on Climate Change 

(UNFCCC). The Convention sets forth 

requirements for UNFCCC Parties to 

provide a national communication that 

lists the steps they are taking to 

implement the Convention. In 

particular, Parties are to provide: An 

inventory of anthropogenic emissions 

by sources and removal by sinks of all 

greenhouse gases not controlled by the 

Montreal Protocol; a detailed 

description of the policies and measures 

adopted to implement their 

commitments under the Convention; 

and estimates of the effects those 

policies and measures will have on 

emissions and sinks. Subsequent 

guidelines further elaborate the 

information that Parties are to submit 

periodically. The United States 

submitted the first U.S. Climate Action 

Report (USCAR) to the UNFCCC 

Secretariat in 1994, the second in 1997, 

the third in 2002, and the fourth in 

2007. The U.S. Government is currently 

preparing its fifth national 

communication, which is due to the 

UNFCCC secretariat on January 1, 2010. 

The purpose of this announcement is to 

notify interested members of the public 

of this process and to solicit 

contributions and input on the issues 

covered in the national communication 

for the purpose of preparing the report. 

The State Department intends to make 

available for public review a draft 

national communication in fall of 2009. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before noon, thirty (30) 

days from the date of publication of this 

notice. 

ADDRESSES: To expedite their receipt, 

comments should be submitted via email to: car5@state.gov. Comments may 

also be submitted in hard copy to, U.S.
