SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

20, 2023, NOAA announced its Request 

for Information on Equitable Delivery of 

Climate Services to gather feedback on 

how to enhance the Agency’s delivery of 

climate services and ensure that this 

delivery is equitable and accounting for 

the needs and priorities of a diverse set 

of user communities. During this time, 

NOAA hosted listening sessions for 

interested parties to provide comments 

in real time. NOAA received feedback 

from multiple sources on the 

challenging timing of listening sessions 

and the bulk of the comment period 

taking place during the summer months, 

which made it harder for a broad swath 

of respondents to provide substantive 

comments. In response to this feedback 

and to ensure increased access and 

ability to respond to the RFI, NOAA has 

decided to extend the comment period 

by 30 days, to October 21, 2023, and 

hold two additional public listening 

sessions during this time. NOAA does 

not anticipate that the comment period 

extension will delay the intended 

Action Plan release. NOAA refers the 

reader to the July 20, 2023 Federal 

Register notice (88 FR 46773) for 

background information concerning the 

Request for Information on Equitable 

Delivery of Climate Services. For
