Migratory Bird Treaty Act; Memorandum of Understanding, 6900-6901 [2014-02296]

Download as PDF 6900 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 24 / Wednesday, February 5, 2014 / Notices that study ‘‘represent[ed] a significant step forward in benefit-cost analysis,’’ EPA recognizes that serious technical challenges remain when attempting to evaluate the benefits and costs of potential regulatory actions using economy-wide models. The question also remains of the value added of using economy-wide models to evaluate the economic impacts (e.g., energy price and labor market impacts) of air regulations relative to other modeling approaches. EPA is looking for early feedback from the public on the draft charge questions and draft analytic blueprint that outlines the materials EPA could supply to the SAB to inform their deliberations on the technical merits and challenges of using economy-wide models to estimate the economic effects of air regulations and potential paths forward for improvements that could address such challenges. EPA is soliciting comments and information to help it: (i) Evaluate whether the Agency has identified the most relevant technical materials in the analytic blueprint to help inform the SAB panel in its deliberations; and (ii) assess whether the Agency has identified the most relevant charge questions to the SAB regarding the technical merits and challenges of using economy-wide models to evaluate the social costs, benefits, and economic impacts in the context of air regulations. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the charge questions and draft blueprint as appropriate. The revised package will then be presented to the Science Advisory Board for consideration and comment. EPA’s Science Advisory Board Staff Office will issue a separate Federal Register Notice to solicit nominations for experts to serve on the SAB panel. (Information on the SAB, including the process for forming review panels, is available at https://www.epa.gov/sab). Dated: January 29, 2014. Joel Beauvais, Associate Administrator, Office of Policy.
