Vulnerability Assessments in Support 

of the Climate Ready Estuaries 

Program: A Novel Approach Using 

Expert Judgment, Volume I: Results 

for the San Francisco Estuary 

Partnership and Volume II: Results for 

the Massachusetts Bays Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Public Comment 

Period and Letter Peer-Review. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 30-day 

public comment period for the draft 

documents titled, Vulnerability 

Assessments in Support of the Climate 

Ready Estuaries Program: A Novel 

Approach Using Expert Judgment, 

Volume I: Results for the San Francisco 

Estuary Partnership (EPA/600/R–11/ 

058a) and Vulnerability Assessments in 

Support of the Climate Ready Estuaries 

Program: A Novel Approach Using 

Expert Judgment, Volume II: Results for 

the Massachusetts Bays Program (EPA/ 

600/R–11/058b). The EPA also is 

announcing that Eastern Research 

Group, an EPA contractor for external 

scientific peer review, will select two 

independent groups of experts to 

conduct a letter peer-review of the same 

draft documents. The documents were 

prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment within 

EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development, in collaboration with the 

San Francisco Estuary Partnership 

(SFEP), the San Francisco Bay 

Conservation and Development 

Commission, and the Massachusetts 

Bays Program (MBP). The reports are 

pilot ecological vulnerability 

assessments using a novel methodology, 

based on expert judgment, to inform 

adaptation planning under EPA’s 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
55674 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 174 / Thursday, September 8, 2011 / Notices 

Climate Ready Estuaries Program. To 

demonstrate the novel methodology, 

two ecosystem processes were selected 

for each assessment: sediment retention 

in salt marshes (for both SFEP and MBP) 

and community interactions (of wading 

shorebirds and their mudflat prey for 

SFEP, and of the saltmarsh sharp-tailed 

sparrow and key species of nesting 

habitat grasses for MBP). This study 

assesses (1) Relationships among key 

physical and ecological variables that 

regulate each process, (2) relative 

sensitivities of these relationships under 

current and future climate change 

scenarios, (3) degree of confidence about 

these relationships, and (4) implications 

for management. The results of this 

study are designed to support the 

SFEP’s and MBP’s adaptation planning 

efforts as well as those of other estuary 

managers. 

EPA intends to forward the public 

comments that are submitted in 

accordance with this notice to the 

external peer-reviewers for their 

consideration during the letter review. 

When finalizing the draft document, 

EPA intends to consider any public 

comments received in accordance with 

this notice. EPA is releasing these draft 

documents for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. These documents have not 

been formally disseminated by EPA. 

They do not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. 

The draft documents are available via 

the Internet on the NCEA home page 

under the Recent Additions and the 

Data and Publications menus at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ncea. 

DATES: The 30-day public comment 

period begins September 8, 2011, and 

ends October 11, 2011. Technical 

comments should be in writing and 

must be received by EPA by October 11, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

For this project, an exercise was 

designed to elicit judgments from 

experts in a workshop setting, regarding 

climate change effects on two ecosystem 

processes for each pilot assessment: 

sediment retention and community 

interactions. This method is based on a 

novel application of expert elicitation (a 

process for obtaining the judgments of 

groups of experts to characterize each 

expert’s beliefs about relationships of 

interest) for use in a two-day workshop 

using two groups of seven expert 

participants each. EPA has investigated 

the utility of expert elicitation and 

provides recommendations for ‘‘best 

practices’’ through an Expert Elicitation 

Task Force White Paper (see http:// 

www.epa.gov/spc/expertelicitation/ 

index.htm). 

The exercise involved elicitation of 

qualitative judgments about the 

sensitivity of ecosystem processes to 

physical and ecological variables, using 

‘‘influence diagrams’’ to depict the 

relationships among variables. For each 

ecosystem process, an influence 

diagram was developed that identified 

the key process variables and their 

interrelationships (influences). Using a 

coding scheme, each expert 

characterized the type and sensitivity of 

each influence under both current and 

future climate change scenarios. 

The experts also discussed the high 

impact of certain influences on 

sediment retention and community 

interactions, relative to other influences 

in the diagram, and the potential for 

threshold changes. 

These reports show how climatesensitive pathways can be identified 

and linked to management options in 

the context of planning documents in 

order to support adaptation to climate 

change.
