The applicant is to identify (where applicable) their project supports one of the climate objectives in 'rising to the urgent challenge'. We don't have any written instructions. Again, this column doesn't affect the score.

The National Fish Habitat Partnership application process does request information from project applicants to identify when proposed projects benefit climate. However, no scoring or ranking criteria is based on this information. Let me know if you have questions.

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>.
