SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) issued a document that appeared in the Federal Register on March 2, 2023, concerning a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Greenhouse Gas Monitoring & Measurement Interagency Working Group (GHG IWG), established by the Office of Science & Technology Policy, White House Climate Policy Office, and Office of Management and Budget. The deadline for submitting comments is being extended from April 4, 2023, to April 19, 2023. The GHG IWG seeks to receive input from the public on the draft Federal Strategy to I. Background The Greenhouse Gas Monitoring & Measurement Interagency Working Group (GHG IWG) was established by the Office of Science & Technology Policy, White House Climate Policy Office, and Office of Management and Budget in 2022 to enhance coordination on existing capabilities and opportunities for enhancing measurement and quantification of GHG emissions and removals. In addition to the White House offices mentioned above, the GHG IWG includes the following United States (U.S.) federal agencies listed in alphabetical order: Department of Agriculture (USDA), participants that have not historically requested meetings; • efforts to ensure access for meeting requestors that have not historically requested such meetings; • discouraging meeting requests that are duplicative of earlier meetings with OIRA regarding the same regulatory action (at the same stage of the regulatory process) by the same meeting requestors; • encouraging groups that would like to present similar views on a regulatory action to submit joint meeting requests wherever possible; and the • disclosure of additional information about E.O. 12866 meetings that may be helpful to OIRA, to agencies, and to the general public, such as providing information about E.O. 12866 meeting requests in an open, machine-readable and accessible format. OMB is seeking comments on its proposed 12866 Meetings Guidance regarding reforms under consideration by June 6, 2023.

The draft GHGMIS Strategy developed by the GHG IWG outlines a framework for an integrated U.S. GHG monitoring & information system, near-term strategies to advance the system, and areas of interest for demonstration projects. The GHG IWG is seeking public comments on the draft GHGMIS Strategy in recognition of the significant expertise on this topic that exists outside of government and the growing interest by companies, nongovernmental organizations, and local and state agencies in generating or using GHG emissions data. A copy of the draft GHGMIS Strategy is posted as a PDF file on the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System’s (NSPIRES) landing page for this RFI at https://go.nasa.gov/ USGGMIDraftFederalStrategy. II. Discussion of Questions The RFI requests information on the following themes: 1. Does the draft GHGMIS Strategy contain any significant omissions, gaps or errors that would impede effectiveness? 2. What opportunities exist for federal agencies to partner with external entities on the framework, strategies, or demonstration projects outlined in the draft GHGMIS Strategy in ways that they have not previously done? 3. What coordination mechanisms, including existing convening or organizing bodies with current limited federal government engagement, should the GHG IWG agencies consider to enhance collaboration with external entities to advance U.S. greenhouse gas monitoring and information capabilities? III. Written Comments Written responses should not exceed 4 pages, excluding a cover page and any references as described in the NSPIRES solicitation number: NNH23ZDA009L entitled Request for Information: DRAFT Federal Strategy to Advance an Integrated U.S. Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Information System (GHGM&IS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Greenhouse Gas Monitoring & Measurement Interagency Working 
Group (GHG IWG) was established by the Office of Science & Technology 
Policy, White House Climate Policy Office, and Office of Management and 
Budget in 2022 to enhance coordination on existing capabilities and 
opportunities for enhancing measurement and quantification of GHG 
emissions and removals. In addition to the White House offices 
mentioned above, the GHG IWG includes the following United States 
(U.S.) federal agencies listed in alphabetical order: Department of 
Agriculture (USDA), Department of Commerce (including the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, and the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA), Department of Defense (DOD), 
Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Interior (DOI), Department of 
State (State), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NASA, and the 
National Science Foundation (NSF).
    The draft GHGMIS Strategy developed by the GHG IWG outlines a 
framework for an integrated U.S. GHG monitoring & information system, 
near-term strategies to advance the system, and areas of interest for 
demonstration projects.
    The GHG IWG is seeking public comments on the draft GHGMIS Strategy 
in recognition of the significant expertise on this topic that exists 
outside of government and the growing interest by companies, non-
governmental organizations, and local and state agencies in generating 
or using GHG emissions data. A copy of the draft GHGMIS Strategy is 
posted as a PDF file on the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated 
Review and Evaluation System's (NSPIRES) landing page for this RFI at 
https://go.nasa.gov/USGGMIDraftFederalStrategy.

II. Discussion of Questions

    The RFI requests information on the following themes:
    1. Does the draft GHGMIS Strategy contain any significant 
omissions, gaps or errors that would impede effectiveness?
    2. What opportunities exist for federal agencies to partner with 
external entities on the framework, strategies, or demonstration 
projects outlined in the draft GHGMIS Strategy in ways that they have 
not previously done?
    3. What coordination mechanisms, including existing convening or 
organizing bodies with current limited federal government engagement, 
should the GHG IWG agencies consider to enhance collaboration with 
external entities to advance U.S. greenhouse gas monitoring and 
information capabilities?

III. Written Comments

    Written responses should not exceed 4 pages, excluding a cover page 
and any references as described in the NSPIRES solicitation number:
