communities as they engage in climate 

preparedness, adaptation, and resilience 

planning. Building on the work that 

NOAA is already doing to prepare 

communities for increasing climate 

impacts, the input from this RFI will be 

used to create an Action Plan that will 

inform more equitable and inclusive 

design, production, and delivery of 

climate services for users of all 

disciplines and backgrounds. Written 

comments were due by September 21, 

2023. Under the unique circumstances 

of the timing of the publication of the 

Federal Register notice, NOAA has 

decided to extend the public comment 

period by 30 days, to October 21, 2023.

this action, published on July 20, 2023

Written comments and information 

must be received no later than October 

21, 2023. 

NOAA will host additional virtual 

public listening sessions during the 

month of October for participants to 

provide comments. See ADDRESSES
