Abstract
EPA has estimated the benefits and costs of the Clean Air Visibility Rule or BART rule and finds that the rule results in estimated annual net benefits ranging from $1.9 to $12.0 billion in 2015. These alternate net benefit estimates reflect differing assumptions about State actions that may result from BART guidelines and different social discount rates of 3 and 7 percent used to estimate the social benefits and costs of the rule. In 2015, the total annual quantified benefits range from $2.2 to $14.3 billion and the annual social costs range from $300 million to $2.9 billion depending on the scenario analyzed and the social discount ratebenefits outweigh social costs in all scenarios analyzed. Visibility benefits in the Class I areas in the southeastern and southwestern United States, a subset of expected visibility benefits expected from the rule, range from $80 million to $420 million per year for the scenarios analyzed. Estimates do not include the value of benefits or costs that we cannot monetize. Upon consideration of the uncertainties and limitations in the analysis, it remains clear that the benefits of the Clean Air Visibility Rule are substantial and far outweigh the costs.
