Updating EPA's Guidelines for Preparing Economic Analyses.

Impact/Purpose:

This project seeks to update and improve EPA's Guidelines for Preparing Economic Analyses.

Description:

EPA's Guidelines for Preparing Economic Analyses establish a sound scientific framework for performing economic analyses of environmental regulations and policies. The Guidelines provide analysts with information needed to prepare high quality economic analyses; develop an overarching framework for economic analyses throughout the Agency and across EPA Program Offices; and ensure that important subjects such as uncertainty, timing, and valuation of costs and benefits, are treated consistently in all economic analyses at EPA. For the Guidelines to remain relevant, they must be updated periodically to reflect the state of the science.
