Technical Documentation for the 

Framework for Evaluating Damages 

and Impacts (FrEDI) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of document availability 

and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing a 30-day 

public comment period for the draft 

document titled, ‘‘Technical 

Documentation for the Framework for 

Evaluating Damages and Impacts 

(FrEDI)’’ (EPA 430–R–24–001). This 

document provides technical 

documentation of a Framework used to 

analyze future climate change-related 

impacts to the United States, projected 

to occur across multiple impact sector 

categories, geographic regions, and 

populations, under any custom 

temperature scenario. This approach 

serves as an alternative or complement 

to traditional scenario-based approaches 

in order to improve communication of 

results, comparability between studies, 

and flexibility to facilitate scenario 

analysis. The draft technical 

documentation will also be subject to 

external peer review. Prior to finalizing 

the draft document, EPA intends to 

carefully consider all comments 

received from the public and from 

external peer reviewers. This draft 

document is not final as described in 

EPA’s information quality guidelines 

and does not represent and should not 

be construed to represent Agency policy 

or views. The draft document is 

available via the internet on EPA’s web 

page at https://www.epa.gov/cira/2024- 

draft-fredi-td. 

DATES: To ensure your comments are 

considered for the final version of the 

document, please submit your 

comments by March 25, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2023–0614, to the Federal Portal: 

https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

online instructions for submitting 

comments. Once submitted, comments 

cannot be edited or withdrawn. Do not 

submit electronically any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI). EPA may 

publish any comment received to its 

public docket, submitted, or sent via 

email. For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI, and 

general guidance on making effective 

comments, please visit https://

Protection Agency, Office of Air and 

Radiation, Office of Atmospheric 

Protection, Climate Change Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Characterizing the future risks of 

climate change is a key goal of climate 

impacts analysis. The Framework for 

Evaluating Damages and Impacts 

(FrEDI) is a reduced form approach, 

implemented as an R package, that 

synthesizes data from existing peerreviewed literature to project the 

distributional impacts of climate change 

to the U.S. through the end of the 

century. This framework relies on 

sectoral damages derived from existing 

peer-reviewed studies, which are further 

organized into an ‘impact by degree’ 

analytical framework for use within 

FrEDI. Results from the FrEDI R package 

can then be used to inform analyses of 

climate change impacts to the U.S. to 

better understand and communicate the 

distributional impacts of climate change 

over time, and across various sectors, 

regions, and populations. The speed and 

flexibility of this framework also 

enables assessment of how projected 

climate change impacts may change in 

the future due to various adaptation or 

emission mitigation scenarios. FrEDI 

therefore fills an important gap in U.S. 

climate change impact assessments by 

synthesizing climate impact information 

from a broad range of peer-reviewed 

studies, while also having the flexibility 

to assess future U.S. impacts under any 

custom scenario.

Director, Climate Change Division.
