The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states, submits the attached comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) draft analytic blueprint and charge questions for a Science Advisory Board (SAB) panel on the role of economy-wide modeling in U.S. EPA regulatory analysis.

Abstract

EPA is establishing a new Science Advisory Board (SAB) panel of economic experts with experience in economy-wide modeling to make recommendations to the agency on the technical merits, technical challenges, and potential value added of using economy-wide models to evaluate costs, benefits, and economic impacts in a regulatory setting, and to identify potential paths forward for improvements that could address such challenges. To focus the panel’s efforts, EPA will consider the use of economy-wide modeling frameworks in the context of air regulations. As a first step, EPA is posting draft charge questions and an analytic blueprint that outlines the materials EPA could supply to the panel to inform their deliberations for public comment.
