Improving the Performance of the USNCP for the OECD Guidelines: Delivering on the June 2015 G-7 Leaders’ Summit Declaration, the USNCP commits to undergo a peer review in the fall of 2017 contingent on OECD Secretariat availability. The USNCP will publish a 2017 outreach plan in early 2017, which will include outreach to stakeholders outside of the United States. By 2017, the USNCP will implement procedures to reduce barriers for stakeholders who would like to engage in the USNCP process but do not speak and/or read English. The USNCP facilitated its first-ever successful mediation in 2015 and two successful mediations as of June 2016. By 2016 the USNCP also implemented 97 percent of the recommendations of its Stakeholder Advisory Board’s 2014 report. The mandate of the Stakeholder Advisory Board to the USNCP will be updated to further address priorities espoused in this NAP. Implementing Agency or Department: State
