See uploaded comments that make make three points regarding the EPA draft plan: 1.In the draft plan, EPA has focused almost exclusively on potential adverse aspects of changes in climate. EPA should revise the plan to also indicate that there may be positive aspects of changes in climate such as longer growing seasons and increased crop production. 2.Any steps that EPA takes to formalize its response to climate change impacts on its regulatory efforts should be subject to the formal notice and comment rulemaking process and not be handled through guidance documents. 3.Whatever process EPA establishes to integrate adaptation into the rulemaking process should initially acknowledge that adaptation is not exact science. Therefore, EPA should allow for periodic review of its integration program as more knowledge is gained on adaptation.
