Climate Change entitled the US Climate Action Report (CAR). This repor

is the United States' third formal communication to the Framework
Convention on Climate Change. The first and second were submitted in
1994 and 1997, respectively. Under the Climate Convention, Parties are
required to submit periodic reports, or national communications,
detailing their efforts to implement their commitments under the
Convention. This report provides an update on key activities conducted
by the U.S. since our last national communication.

The U.S. Climate Action report has been developed and cleared through
an
interagency process involving the Departments of State; Commerce,
Energy, Interior, Treasury, Transportation and Agriculture, the
Environmental Protection Agency and the US Global Change Research

The attached zip file contains all the working files for the CAR. A
chapter list is provided below. These files are in varying stages of

review by the Executive Office of the President. Also, please note tha

2 additional pieces will be forthcoming. The first is a one page
description of the new FreedomCar initiative, which will be added to
Appendix B. The second is a complete table 4 in chapter 7, which cove

appendices. These pdf files can be read and printed using Acrobat
Reader. When providing comments, please identify the change by chapter
