United States Climate Change Science
Program
Request expert review of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) ‘‘Special Report on
Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage’’
(SRCCS).
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In addition to periodic
assessments of the science, impacts, and
socio-economic aspects of climate
change, the IPCC provides, on request,
advice to the Conference of the Parties
to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) and its bodies. The Seventh
Conference of the Parties (COP) of the
UNFCCC expressed interest in carbon
capture and storage by inviting the IPCC
to prepare a Technical Paper on
geological carbon storage technologies.
The IPCC noted that a Technical Paper,
which is limited in its scope to
summarizing existing IPCC reports,

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 25, 2005 / Notices
would be difficult to produce using the
very limited material covered in the
IPCC Third Assessment Report. At its
20th session (February 2003), the IPCC
decided to prepare a Special Report
(which, like a full assessment report,
covers all available literature) and
approved an outline and schedule.
Working Group III is overseeing
preparation of this Special Report,
which is being written by a team of over
100 authors under established IPCC
rules and procedures.
The IPCC Secretariat has informed the
U.S. Department of State that the
second-order SRCCS draft is available
for expert and Government review. The
Climate Change Science Program Office
(CCSPO) is coordinating the solicitation
of comments by U.S. experts and
stakeholders to inform development of
an integrated set of U.S. Government
comments on the report. Instructions on
how to format comments are available at
https://www.climatescience.gov/Library/
ipcc/srccs-review.htm, as is the
document itself. Comments must be sent
to CCSPO by 23 February 2005 to be
considered for inclusion in the U.S.
Government collation.
TIME AND DATE: Properly formatted
comments should be sent to CCSPO at
srccs-USGreview@climatescience.gov by
COB Wednesday, 23 February 2005.
Include report acronym and reviewer
surname in e-mail subject title to
facilitate processing.
