Air and Radiation’s Second Section 812 

Prospective Analysis of the benefits and 

costs of the Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 

2 (FACA), notice is hereby given that 

the Ecological Effects Subcommittee 

(EES) of the Advisory Council on Clean 

Air Compliance Analysis (Council), 

augmented with additional experts, will 

hold a public meeting to evaluate draft 

documents regarding ecological effects 

of modeled air quality scenarios 

developed to support the Second 

Section 812 Benefit-Cost Analysis of the 

Clean Air Act. The Council was 

established in 1991 pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1990 (42 U.S.C. 7612) to provide advice, 

information and recommendations on 

technical and economic aspects of 

analyses and reports EPA prepares on 

the impacts of the CAA on the public 

health, economy, and environment of 

the United States. The Council is a 

Federal Advisory Committee chartered 

under FACA. The EES will provide 

advice through the Council and will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Pursuant to Section 812 of the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), 

EPA conducts periodic studies to assess 

benefits and costs of the EPA’s 

regulatory actions under the Clean Air 

Act. The Council has provided advice 

on an EPA retrospective study 

published in 1997 and an EPA 

prospective study completed in 1999. 

EPA initiated a second prospective 

study to evaluate the benefits and costs 

of EPA Clean Air programs for years 

1990–2020. The Council has previously 

provided advice on the analytical 

blueprint for this study. EPA’s Office of 

Air and Radiation (OAR) is now nearing 

completion of the analytical work for 

the second prospective study. 

At the March 9 and 10, 2010 meeting, 

the EES will review draft technical 

documents pertaining to ecological 

effects associated with air quality 

scenarios developed using the 

Community Multiscale Air Quality 

(CMAQ) model for seven emissions 

scenarios: a 1990 baseline simulation; 

and simulations for 2000, 2010 and 

2020 with and without the CAAA. The 

draft documents compare simulated 

pollutant exposures with the 

distribution of sensitive ecosystems in 

the United States to assess ecosystems at 

risk from acidic deposition, total 

nitrogen deposition, and tropospheric 

ozone concentrations. In addition, the 

draft documents present case studies on 

benefits of the CAAA for recreation 

fishing and the timber industry in the 

Adirondack Region of New York State. 

Chapter 4 of the draft Benefits Analyses 

to Support the Second Section 812 

Benefit-Cost Analysis describes the 

estimation of the physical effects of the 

air quality scenarios for ozone on 

agriculture and commercial forestry. 

OAR is requesting that the EES review 

the data choices, methodological 

choices for analyzing the data, and the 

overall validity and utility of the 

estimated changes in ecological effects 

from air pollution between the withCAAA90 and without-CAAA90 

scenarios. The following documents are 

provided to the EES: (1) Effects of Air 

Pollutants on Ecological Resources: 

Literature Review and Case Studies.
