SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) was created by Congress in 1990 to ‘‘assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change.’’ USGCRP comprises 15 Federal agencies that work together to carry out its legislative mandate. USGCRP is conducting the first National Nature Assessment (NNA1) to assess the condition of nature as an aspect of global change. The scope of NNA1 is to assess the status, observed trends, and future projections of America’s lands, waters, wildlife, biodiversity, and ecosystems and the benefits they provide, including connections to the economy, public health, equity, climate mitigation and adaptation, and national security. Background information, additional details, and instructions for submitting comments can be found at https:// www.globalchange.gov/notices. Responses to this request for comment can be entered via that website. The USGCRP seeks public comment on the annotated outlines of each chapter of the NNA1, in particular on the scope and framing of chapter’s proposed topic areas. Input received on proposed themes within each chapter’s annotated outline will be used by chapter author teams to develop their draft chapters. Authors of each NNA1 chapter will develop chapter content structured around the topic areas proposed in the annotated outlines. The outlines highlight what nature provides to us in terms of its inherent worth, our wellbeing, economic value, and more, while looking ahead to understand how these benefits might change in the future. Because chapter 1 will provide an overview summary of the final report, chapter 1 does not have an annotated outline currently. Chapter titles reflect the target topics for the chapters. Final titles for the chapter may evolve as authors assess published literature.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Global Change Research Program 
(USGCRP) was created by Congress in 1990 to ``assist the Nation and the 
world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and 
natural processes of global change.'' USGCRP comprises 15 Federal 
agencies that work together to carry out its legislative mandate. 
USGCRP is conducting the first National Nature Assessment (NNA1) to 
assess the condition of nature as an aspect of global change.
    The scope of NNA1 is to assess the status, observed trends, and 
future projections of America's lands, waters, wildlife, biodiversity, 
and ecosystems and the benefits they provide, including connections to 
the economy, public health, equity, climate mitigation and adaptation, 
and national security.
    Background information, additional details, and instructions for 
submitting comments can be found at https://www.globalchange.gov/notices. Responses to this request for comment can be entered via that 
website.
    The USGCRP seeks public comment on the annotated outlines of each 
chapter of the NNA1, in particular on the scope and framing of 
chapter's proposed topic areas. Input received on proposed themes 
within each chapter's annotated outline will be used by chapter author 
teams to develop their draft chapters.
    Authors of each NNA1 chapter will develop chapter content 
structured around the topic areas proposed in the annotated outlines. 
The outlines highlight what nature provides to us in terms of its 
inherent worth, our well-being, economic value, and more, while looking 
ahead to understand how these benefits might change in the future. 
Because chapter 1 will provide an overview summary of the final report, 
chapter 1 does not have an annotated outline currently.
    Chapter titles reflect the target topics for the chapters. Final 
titles for the chapter may evolve as authors assess published 
literature.
