Remote access to the Department’s information systems is configured in compliance with OMB Circular A–130 multifactor authentication requirements and includes a time-out function. All Department of State employees and contractors with authorized access to records maintained in this system of records have undergone a thorough background security investigation. Access to the Department of State, its annexes, and posts abroad is controlled by security guards and admission is limited to those individuals possessing a valid identification card or individuals under proper escort. Access to computerized files is passwordprotected and under the direct supervision of the system manager. The system manager has the capability of printing audit trails of access from the computer media, thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of computer usage. When it is determined that a user no longer needs access, the user account is disabled. The safeguards in the following paragraphs apply only to records that are maintained in government-certified cloud systems. All cloud systems that provide IT services and process Department of State information must be specifically authorized by the Department of State Authorizing Official and Senior Agency Official for Privacy. Information that conforms with Department-specific definitions for Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) low, moderate, or high categorization are permissible for cloud usage and must specifically be authorized by the Department’s Cloud Program Management Office and the Department of State Authorizing Official. Specific security measures and safeguards will depend on the FISMA categorization of the information in a given cloud system. In accordance with Department policy, systems that process more sensitive information will require more stringent controls and review by Department cybersecurity experts prior to approval. Prior to operation, all Cloud systems must comply with applicable security measures that are outlined in FISMA, FedRAMP, OMB regulations, National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Special Publications (SP) and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Department of State policies and standards.

of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and options for 
adaptation and mitigation. IPCC reports should be neutral with respect 
to policy, although they may need to deal objectively with scientific, 
technical, and socio-economic factors relevant to the application of 
particular policies. The principles and procedures for the IPCC and its 
preparation of reports can be found at: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/09/ipcc-principles.pdf and https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/09/ipcc-principles-appendix-a-final.pdf. In

integrate materials contained within the Assessment Reports and Special 
Reports'' and ``should be written in a non-technical style suitable for 
policymakers and address a broad range of policy-relevant but policy-
neutral questions approved by the Panel''. AR6 SYR content is based on 
the three Working Group contributions to the AR6 and the three Special
