Committee is to provide advice on the 

conduct of a study titled ‘‘Analyses of 

the effects of global change on human 

health and welfare and human systems’’

to be conducted as part of the U.S. 

Climate Change Science Program 

(CCSP). This assessment is part of a 

comprehensive set of assessments 

identified in the CCSP’s Strategic Plan. 

HICCAC will advise on the specific 

issues that should be addressed in the 

assessment, appropriate technical 

approaches, the nature of information 

relevant to decision makers, the content 

of the assessment report, and other 

scientific and technical matters that may 

be found to be important to the 

successful completion of the study. EPA 

has determined that this federal 

advisory committee is in the public 

interest and will assist the Agency in 

performing its duties under the Clean 

Water Act, Clean Air Act, and the 

Global Climate Protection Act. The draft 

prospectus for the study is on the CCSP 

Web site at http:// 

www.climatescience.gov/Library/sap/ 

sap4–6/sap4–6prospectus-final.htm. 

Copies of the Committee Charter will 

be filed with the appropriate 

congressional committees and the 

Library of Congress.
