Purpose: Calculates the costs to State and Federal Governments implementing a given policy option. (CBI)

File Contents:

Worksheet Contents

State&Fed_Cost_Summary Summarizes results from the calculations performed in the following 3 worksheets.

State_Startup_Costs Reads in State gvt costs associated with activities performed to prepare for rule implementation from the ICR_Costs.xls file. 

Reads in State gvt costs from the Original_Costs worksheet, discounts costs to the promulgation year of 2012, and annualizes.

State_Costs

Caclualates State government expenditures for administrative activities related to rule implementation. Reads in State gvt costs 

from the Original_Costs worksheet, discounts costs to the promulgation year of 2012, and annualizes.

Federal_Costs

Caclualates Federal government expenditures for administrative activities related to rule implementation. Reads in federal gvt 

costs from the Original_Costs worksheet, discounts costs to the promulgation year of 2012, and annualizes.

 Original_Costs.xls

Reads in facility-level information that does not depend on an analysed option from the PlantData.xls file. Reads in ICR category 

and ICR costs from the ICR_Costs.xls. Reads in other plant-level information that depends on an analysed option from the 

Cost_Control.xls file. Assigned state-level administrative costs associated with entrainment studies.

Assumptions Lists assumed constants used throughout the cost and economic impacts analysis model as well as various adjustment indexes for 

dollar years adjustments.
