This in response to a data call from the Department for policies, guidance, or direction related to climate change, for which we have already submitted a draft response. I have told the Director's Office we will circle back to the Programs and ask specifically for any instances of using climate change, or adaptation to climate change as a criterion or ranking factor in project selection. We have a briefing with DOI Monday morning, so I must ask for your response (positive or negative) ASAP thanks Seth -----------Forwarded message-----------From: Guertin, Stephen <stephen_guertin@fws.gov> Date: Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 1:34 PM Subject: Re: Action Plan for SO 3349 deliverables To: "Mott, Seth" <seth_mott@fws.gov> Cc: Jim Kurth <Jim_Kurth@fws.gov> Casey Hammond <casey_hammond@ios.doi.gov>: Charisa Morris <charisa_morris@fws.gov>, Gary Frazer <gary_frazer@fws.gov> Gina Shultz <Gina_Shultz@fws.gov> Cynthia Martinez <cynthia_martinez@fws.gov> Sanchez Shaun <shaun_sanchez@fws.gov>, Scott Covington <scott_covington@fws.gov>, "Ford, Jerome" <jerome_ford@fws.gov>, "Johnson, Mike J" <Mike_J_Johnson@fws.gov> "Matson, Noah" <noah_matson@fws.gov> Betsy Hildebrandt <betsy_hildebrandt@fws.gov> Matthew Huggler <Matthew_Huggler@fws.gov>, Jason Goldberg <jason_goldberg@fws.gov>, Kurt Johnson <Kurt_Johnson@fws.gov>, Tom Melius <Tom_Melius@fws.gov> Thanks for the update Seth on the larger policy and other documents.
