The purpose of CESLAC is to provide advice on the conduct of a study titled Coastal Elevations and Sensitivity to Sea Level Rise which is being conducted as part of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). The study pays particular attention to the coastal area of the U.S. from the state of New York through North Carolina. A copy of the study prospectus is available at http://www.climatescience.gov/​Library/​sap/​sap4-1/​default.php. A copy of the Committee Charter is available at http://www.fido.gov/​facadatabase/​. This is the second meeting of CESLAC. The meeting will focus on consideration of a draft of the study. The agenda will include presentations on, and discussions of, the material prepared to address the four key questions addressed by the study and, to a lesser extent, the five supplemental questions addressed by the study. Interested individuals should refer to the study prospectus for information on these questions. One hour of the meeting will be allocated for statements by members of the public. Individuals who are interested in making statements should inform Jack Fitzgerald of their interest by Tuesday, May 29, and provide a copy of their statements for the record. Individuals will be scheduled in the order that their statements of intent to present are received. A minimum of three minutes will be provided for each statement. The maximum amount of time will depend on the number of statements to be made. All statements, regardless of whether there is sufficient time to present them orally, will be included in the record and considered by the committee.
