Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 113 / Thursday, June 11, 2020 / Proposed Rules
(F) The likelihood that the parameters
of the concentration-response differ
based on geographic location; and
(G) Attributes that affect the
suitability of the study or model for
informing a risk assessment, including
the age of the air quality data, and the
generalizability of the study population.
(viii) When feasible, the Agency must
use a probability distribution of risk
when determining expected benefits.
When it is infeasible to estimate a
distribution, the Agency must use
measures of the central tendency of risk.
Upper-bound risk estimates must not be
used unless they are presented in
conjunction with lower bound and
central tendency estimates.
(10) The Agency must identify
uncertainties underlying the estimation
of both benefits and costs and, to the
extent feasible, quantitatively analyze
those that are most influential; and must
present benefits and cost estimates in
ways that convey their uncertainty. The
Agency must provide a reasoned
explanation for the scope and specific
quantitative or qualitative methods
chosen to analyze uncertainties.
(i) To the extent feasible, the Agency
must use quantitative methods to
analyze uncertainties that have the
largest potential effect on benefits or
cost estimates.
(ii) The Agency must characterize,
preferably quantitatively, sources of
uncertainty in the assessment of costs,
changes in air quality, assessment of
likely changes in health and welfare
endpoints, and the valuation of those
changes.
(iii) Where data are sufficient to do so,
the Agency must consider sources of
uncertainty both independently and
jointly.
(iv) To the extent feasible, the Agency
must also consider, and transparently
acknowledge, the extent to which
qualitatively-assessed costs or benefits
are characterized by uncertainty.
(v) Where probability distributions for
relevant input assumptions are
available, characterize significant
sources of uncertainty in the
assessment, and can be feasibly and
credibly combined, the Agency must
characterize how the probability
distributions of the relevant input
assumption uncertainty would impact
the resulting distribution of benefit and
cost estimates.
(vi) Except as provided in this
paragraph, the Agency must provide
expected-value estimates of benefits and
costs as well as distributions about each
of the estimates. In cases where
estimates based on expected values are
not feasible, the Agency must present a
plausible range of benefits and costs.

(11) In presenting the results of the
BCA the Agency must include the
following elements:
(i) The Agency must present the
overall results of the BCA (benefits,
costs, and net benefits of each regulatory
option evaluated in the BCA) in a
manner designed to be objective,
comprehensive, reproducible to the
extent reasonably possible, and easily
understood by the public.
(ii) The Agency must describe how
the benefits and costs were estimated in
the BCA, including the assumptions
made for the analysis. The Agency must
describe the models, data, and
assumptions used to estimate benefits
and costs, and the evaluation and
selection process for these analytical
decisions. The Agency must provide an
explanation of procedures used to select
among input parameters to the benefit
and cost models, and any methods used
to quantify risk and to model fate and
transport of pollutants.
(iii) Consistent with the best available
scientific information, the Agency must
discuss non-monetized and nonquantified benefits and costs of the
action. The Agency must present
available evidence on non-monetized
and non-quantified benefits and costs,
including explanations as to why they
are not being monetized or quantified
and discussions of what the potential
impact of those benefits and costs might
be on the overall results of the BCA.
(iv) The Agency must assess the
sources of uncertainty that are likely to
have a substantial effect on the results
of the BCA and present the results of
this assessment. The Agency must
identify any data and models used to
analyze uncertainty in the BCA, and the
quality of the available data shall be
discussed.
(12) To the extent permitted by law,
the Agency must ensure that all
information (including data and models)
used in the development of the BCA is
publicly available. If the data and
models are proprietary, the Agency
must make available, to the extent
permitted by law, the underlying inputs
and assumptions used, equations, and
methodologies used by EPA, while
continuing to provide appropriate
protection for information claimed as
confidential business information (CBI),
personally identifiable information (PII),
and other privileged, non-exempt
information.
(b) The Agency must provide a
reasoned explanation for any departures
from best practices in the BCA,
including a discussion of the likely
effect of the departures on the results of
the BCA.

§ 83.4 What additional requirements apply
to EPA’s presentation of BCA results for all
significant rules promulgated under the
Clean Air Act?
(a) The Agency must provide, in
addition to the reporting of the overall
results of the BCA as specified in § l._
(a)(11)(i), a summary in the preamble of
the overall BCA results, including total
costs, benefits, and net benefits.
(b) The Agency must provide an
additional presentation in the preamble
of the public health and welfare benefits
that pertain to the specific objective (or
objectives, as the case may be) of the
CAA provision or provisions under
which the rule is promulgated.
(1)This presentation must list the
benefit categories arising from the
environmental improvement that is
targeted by the relevant statutory
provision and report the monetized
value to society of these benefits.
(2) If these benefit categories cannot
be monetized, the Agency must report
the quantified estimates of these
benefits to the extent possible and
provide a qualitative characterization if
they cannot be quantified.
(c) When the CAA provision or
provisions under which the rule is
promulgated contemplate the
consideration of specific costs, the
Agency must provide a transparent
presentation of how those specific costs
relate to total costs, to the extent
possible.
(d) The presentations specified in
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this
section must be placed in the same
section in the preamble of the
regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This proposed rule addresses interests
raised by the State of Alaska regarding
the management of Alaska National
Wildlife Refuges. Federal regulations
regarding these refuges are found in title
50 of the Code of Federal Regulations at
part 36.
Specifically, this proposed rule
considers changes to public use
regulations for Kenai NWR. The
proposed regulatory changes relate to
allowing the harvest of brown bears at
registered bait stations, allowing for
trapping under State law without a
Federal permit, allowing the discharge
of firearms along the Kenai and Russian
Rivers at certain times of year,
increasing access by bicycles and game
carts, and allowing snowmobiles, allterrain vehicles, and utility task vehicles
on certain lakes when there is adequate
snow and ice cover.
Refuge management is governed by
Federal laws such as the National
Wildlife Refuge System Administration
Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd), as
amended (Refuge Administration Act);
the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, which
amended the Refuge Administration Act
(Pub. L. 105–57) (Refuge Improvement
Act); and the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (Pub. L.
96–487) (ANILCA); by regulations
implementing these laws; by treaties; by
Service policy; and by principles of
sound resource management that
establish standards for resource
management or limit the range of
potential activities (e.g., visitor use
opportunities administered via special
use permitting) that may be allowed on
the Refuge.
ANILCA authorizes traditional
activities such as subsistence; the
exercise of valid commercial fishing
rights; and hunting, fishing, and
trapping in accordance with State and
Federal laws. Under Service regulations
implementing this direction, public
recreational activities within the Alaska
National Wildlife Refuges are
authorized as long as such activities are
conducted in a manner compatible with
the purposes for which the areas were
established (50 CFR 36.31(a)). Such
recreational activities include but are
not limited to sightseeing, nature
observations and photography, hunting,
fishing, boating, camping, hiking,
picnicking, and other related activities.
