Proposed Toxics Rule RIA - latest version (as of 3/11/2011) Larry Sorrels to: cortney_higgins 03/11/2011 06:57 PM Cc: Gina McCarthy, Janet McCabe, Joseph Goffman, Peter Tsirigotis, Lydia Wegman, Sam Napolitano, Wendy Blake, Paul Versace, RobertJ Wayland, Ron Evans, Bryan Hubbell, Jeb Stenhouse, Marc Houyoux, Tyler Fox, Larry Sorrels, Erich Eschmann, Barrett Parker, Reynaldo Forte, Robert Vollaro, Neal Fann, Ellen Kurlansky, Nick Hutson, Mary Johnson, Elliott Zenick, Rick Vetter, Christian Fellner, Kevin Culligan, Christine Davis, Kirk Baker, Madeleine Strum, Jeb Stenhouse, Erich Eschmann, Mikhail Adamantiades, Al McGartland, DavidA Evans, Peter Nagelhout, Bill Maxwell Cortney: Attached are the chapters to the current version of the toxics rule RIA. These chapters are in redline/strikeout and clean versions. Chapter 7 and Appendix D are not in this email because no changes have been made from the version of the RIA that you have for these files. There is also a new Appendix to Chapter 8 (Appendix E) that contains results of energy efficiency policy sensitivity analyses. In addition, we have reviewed your extensive comments on the employment impacts that are in Chapter 9. We have developed a revised edition incorporating the spirit of most of your comments, hopefully we have moved in a direction where subsequent significant comments, if any, are more targeted because we now have an acceptable general framework in place. As I see it, we are making progress, there seems to be support for including not only the Morgenstern estimate (for the regulated industry, annual employment impacts) and the pollution control industry estimate (outside the regulated industry, one time, short term to build equipment). These would not be added together but called out separately. The rest of the newer estimates (changes due to coal retirements, additional reagent usage among others) are not included in either category, rather we call them out as specific endpoints (recognizing it is not a complete list) which some stakeholders may be interested in. We want to maintain all these estimates in a separate chapter rather than folding them in to the cost chapter. I consider these to be akin to a small business assessment, it is a separate economic impact analysis which is not part of the more classic cost benefit framework. We have deleted the direct/indirect characterization. We have tried to clarify the language talking about jobs versus employment impacts and being consistent in our terminology. We have also reduced the precision of our estimates..
