In making comments:
- Please refer to the PDF version when submitting comments. As per instructions, comments must refer to line numbers listed in the PDF file.
- Provide contact information. The U.S. Global Change Research Program National Coordination Office may need to contact you seeking clarification.
- Provide specific language for deletions, additions, and/or amendments.
- Avoid auto-formatting and do not embed comments in tables.
- Organize your comments into "general comments" that apply to the entire document, and "specific comments" that apply to page and line numbers. Organize the specific comments in page and line number sequence, as per the sample format below. Insert your name and affiliation after each comment.
- Do not number your comments and do not use words such as "ditto" or "see above", since your comments will be collated by page and line numbers into a compilation with comments from others.
