toward the development of an ongoing, sustainable national assessment 
of global change impacts and adaptation and mitigation strategies for 
the Nation. Within the scope of its mission, the committee's specific

the subjects of:
    1. The National Climate Assessment Interim Strategy, the NCA Draft 
Outline, and Federal Activities.
    2. Engagement Strategy and Requests for Information.
    3. Scenarios and Regional Summaries.
    4. Peer Review, Data Management and Development of a NCA Portal.
    STATUS: The meeting will be open to public participation at a 
location to be determined with a 10-minute public comment period from

verbal presentation will be limited to a total time of two minutes. 
Written comments should be received in the NCADAC DFO's office by May 
16, 2011 to provide sufficient time for NCADAC review. Written comments 
received by the NCADAC DFO after May 16, 2011, will be distributed to 
the NCADAC, but may not be reviewed prior to the meeting date.
