SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to its authority under 44 U.S.C. 3504(e), 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) announces the start of the 

classification development process for 

new statistical classification guidance 

for environmental-economic statistics. 

OMB, on behalf of its EnvironmentalEconomic Accounting Classification 

Interagency Technical Working Group 

(ITWG), seeks public comment on an 

Interim Draft report which contains an 

initial draft of statistical classification 

guidance, as well as on the specific 

topics presented in Section IV of this 

Federal Register Notice (FRN). This is 

the first of multiple FRNs requesting 

public comment in the process leading 

up to OMB publishing new statistical 

classification guidance for 

environmental-economic statistics. 

OMB anticipates issuing final guidance 

in 2028. 

I. Background on National Economic 

Accounts 

National economic accounts were 

created to organize the broad concept of 

an economy in a useful way, beyond 

just an understanding of the size of its 

many components, to also understand 

their systematic interdependencies. The 

U.S. National Income and Product 

Accounts (NIPA) are used to compute 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP), calculate 

a national balance sheet, and help 

conduct long-term forecasting. Existing 

national economic accounts data for the 

United States, however, do not include 

environmental data, leaving an 

incomplete view of U.S. assets and 

economic dependencies on natural 

assets.1

International statistical standards are 

created for national economic statistics 

in order to promote consistency and 

comparability that can help all nations 

in a complex, interconnected world 

economy, but are also broad enough and 

allow for nation-level adaptations. The 

United States actively participates and 

assists in developing these international 

standards. The United States’ NIPA 

accounts are compliant with the United 

Nations Statistical Commission’s 

System of National Accounts (SNA, 

2008),2 which is being revised in 2025. 

U.S. and international economic 

accounting standards and account 

structures are routinely and cyclically 

improved to make them more 

comprehensive and accurate. As part of 

this iterative improvement process, the 

United States and the international 

statistical community have committed 

to developing environmental-economic 

statistics that extend the SNA through 

the newer international statistical 

standards and supporting documents 

that comprise the System of 

Environmental-Economic Accounting 

(SEEA) framework. The U.S. 

commitment includes the United States’ 

January 2023 National Strategy to 

Develop Statistics for EnvironmentalEconomic Decisions (National Strategy). 

The SEEA Central Framework (SEEA– 

CF, 2012) 3 is an international statistical 

standard that offers principles and 

guidance for constructing physical flow 

accounts and physical asset accounts 

that cover specific environmental assets 

(e.g., land, water, timber, harvestable 

marine resources), along with economic 

accounts that cover a named set of 

human economic activities that manage 

environmental resources. 

As the SEEA is generally additive 

with the SNA, it does not alter the 

SNA’s fundamental principles. The 

SEEA aligns with existing SNA 

accounting principles and boundaries, 

while extending them to explicitly 

include the environment and 

environmental flows. Thus, accounting 

rules for environmental-economic 

accounting begin by orienting, to the 

extent possible, with preexisting rules 

for national economic statistics 

including the national balance sheet. 

II. Role of the Office of the Chief 

Statistician of the United States and the 

U.S. Federal Statistical System in 

Developing Statistical Classification 

Standards 

The U.S. Federal statistical system is 

decentralized, with 16 OMB-recognized 

statistical agencies and units (RSAUs) 

that have data collection as their 

primary mission and over 100 other 

agencies that collect statistical data,

7The Interim Report is available on 

regulations.gov docket. 

8Note that Forests accounts were added from the 

Phase II set to the Phase I set described in the 

National Strategy, because the ITWG agreed they 

were mature enough to be included in this first 

classification effort, provided that ecosystem 

services are not considered in this ‘‘Phase I’’ 

classification building effort. 

along with carrying out other primary 

missions. The Chief Statistician of the 

United States at OMB serves as 

coordinator of the Federal statistical 

system under the authority of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), and must ensure the efficiency 

and effectiveness of the system as well 

as the integrity, objectivity, impartiality, 

utility, and confidentiality of 

information collected for statistical 

purposes.4 The PRA also charges the 

Chief Statistician of the United States 

with coordinating the Federal statistical 

system by developing and overseeing 

the implementation of Governmentwide principles, policies, standards, and 

guidelines concerning the presentation 

and dissemination of statistical 

information.5 These coordination efforts 

promote the efficiency and effectiveness 

of the Federal statistical system. More 

information on the Federal statistical 

system, including its structure and 

policies that govern it, is available at 

www.statspolicy.gov. 

The Office of the Chief Statistician of 

the United States is initiating the 

development of new statistical 

classification guidance for an 

environmental-economic statistics 

series, in alignment with the January 

2023 National Strategy to Develop 

Statistics for Environmental-Economic 

Decisions (National Strategy). This 

National Strategy was jointly published 

by the Office of Science and Technology 

Policy, the Office of Management and 

Budget, and the Department of 

Commerce, and presents a plan for 

developing the first U.S. national system 

to standardize environmental-economic 

statistics, built from the collaborative 

efforts of 27 Federal departments, 

agencies, and offices. The National 

Strategy itself underwent public 

comment,6 and is built on decades of 

theoretical and empirical research. 

Ultimately, completion of the 

National Strategy’s 15-year plan would 

create statistical classifications for a 

new national economic statistics series, 

that further connects the environment to 

the economy. This would provide a 

reliable, regularly updated statistical 

series of data. It would introduce 

environmental-economic accounting of 

the nation’s environmental assets like 

land, water, and clean air, and economic 

flows associated with these assets, to 

supplement the National Income and 

Product Accounts (NIPA) from which 

the United States calculates GDP and 

understands economic 

interdependencies across sectors and 

resources. This FRN publicly announces 

the start of this classification 

development process and also seeks 

public comment on the initial draft of 

statistical classification guidance on the 

Phase I accounts within the National 

Strategy. 

The Chief Statistician of the United 

States initiated the development of new 

statistical classification guidance via the 

convening of an EnvironmentalEconomic Accounting Classification 

Interagency Technical Working Group 

(EEA–C ITWG) in November 2023. This 

working group, made up of Federal 

experts on economic classification and 

environmental-economic accounting 

from more than a dozen Federal 

agencies, is charged to help advise OMB 

by providing recommendations for 

account classifications and guidance on 

how to develop official environmentaleconomic accounting classifications to 

define accounts for environmentaleconomic statistics to pair with 

traditional economic statistics accounts. 

The EEA–C ITWG developed an 

Interim Report,7 which contains the first 

draft of their recommendations for 

future statistical classification guidance 

for environmental-economic accounting 

classifications. This Interim Report 

represents the first interagency effort to 

build the principles and processes to 

construct an environmental-economic 

accounting classification system for use 

in official economic statistics in the 

United States. This classification work 

will deepen and expand from this 

foundation. 

The Interim Report includes one 

chapter for each of six Environmental 

Sectors per Phase I in the National 

Strategy, and in full knowledge that the 

Interim Report is preliminary. The 

accounts are Air Emissions, Water, 

Land, Environmental Activities & Jobs, 

the first phase of Marine natural capital 

accounts, and Forests.8

Request for comment at this stage is 

the first of several public interaction 

and solicitations in support of this 

effort, in the spirit of robust and wide 

engagement during the classification 

development processes, and a key step 

in the EEA–C ITWG’s development of 

account classifications and guidance. As 

that process continues, the EEA–C 

ITWG will consider public feedback 

from this request for comments and 

from any public listening sessions that 

this group or its account sub-groups 

may hold. There will be a further 

request for public comment in 2025, 

before an EEA–C ITWG Final Report is 

submitted to the Chief Statistician of the 

United States. Further, similar 

classification work and public comment 

opportunities are expected on Phase II 

and Phase III accounts (i.e., the 

remaining 10 environmental sector 

accounts) from the National Strategy. 

This FRN seeks public input on the 

potential approaches to building 

categories and on the initial six 

accounts. It is general, checking 

alignment with theory and practical 

constraints, and also requests comment 

on certain potential metrics associated 

with specific accounts and categories 

that are presented in the Interim 

Report’s account chapters. In the next 

round of public comment in 2025, the 

EEA–C ITWG expects to ask for public 

comment about a more detailed and 

complete classification set, including 

possible metrics for the classification 

tables. Note that constructing the 

classification system is key, but only 

one part of the larger effort to develop 

environmental-economic accounts. 

The National Strategy defines a suite 

of targets, timelines, and tasks to build 

statistics to support environmentaleconomic decisions. Among these are 

Headline Summaries (e.g., changes in 

natural capital wealth); Satellite 

Accounts and Supporting Products (e.g., 

‘‘Hazards’’ account, dashboards, and an 

environmental activities report); 

Environmental Sector accounts (in 

Phases I, II and III); and Supporting 

Activities (e.g., engagement across 

accounts and cross-cutting topics like 

classification systems, data sharing, and 

valuation standards). From this wider 

suite, the building of common U.S. 

environmental-economic accounting 

classifications will help to ensure 

agencies are using standardized 

categories and definitions. As with any 

standardized statistical classification, 

common taxonomies of mutually 

exclusive and comparable categories 

will serve as a unifying platform for 

consistent statistical data development. 

Each Environmental Sector account 

(e.g., Water, Land) will be comprised of 

multiple tables or sub-accounts. 

Environmental-economic accounting 

classifications will name essential rows 

and columns in specific tables or 

accounts.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2024 / Notices 104229 

III. EEA–C ITWG Interim Report— 

Chapter Content 

Each of the six account chapters in 

the Interim Report begins with an 

introduction of the account topic area, 

followed by an overview of the relevant 

conceptual history and an exploration of 

other countries’ or intergovernmental 

organizations’ relevant work in the 

account topic area that may be 

considered for application in the United 

States (e.g., ‘‘United Nations,’’ 

‘‘Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development,’’ or 

‘‘European Union’’). Any relevant U.S. 

work is also described, in order to 

promote efficiency when the application 

of past U.S. or international approaches 

is feasible and desirable (section 2). 

Each account chapter then proposes a 

classification framework and guidance 

particular to that account (which is 

usually a set of accounts within that 

topic area (section 3); discusses current 

data gaps and limitations to be 

considered when attempting consistent 

national quantification within the 

proposed classification framework 

(section 4); and closes with a conceptual 

discussion of connections to other 

accounts, and guidance for using the 

proposed account in its current form 

(section 5). 

IV. Request for Information 

The National Strategy recommends 

that environmental-economic accounts 

be pragmatic and useful for a wide range 

of decision-making (Recommendation 

1), comparable through time and across 

accounts (Recommendation 2), and 

align with international accounting 

standards as our national economic 

accounts do (Recommendation 3). The 

accounts have been developed thus far 

with beneficial input from 27 U.S. 

departments and agencies. In order to 

improve the utility of these accounts to 

users as the accounts are further 

developed over time, it is important to 

seek feedback across a broad range of 

perspectives. We therefore focus this 

request for public comment on the 

following questions. The questions 

posed below are those the EEA–C ITWG 

deemed most significant and relevant to 

its recommendations and do not 

indicate positions of OMB or the 

agencies participating in the EEA–C 

ITWG. The questions have been sorted 

into broad categories for ease of review. 

Responses should be concise, and if 

summarizing or depending on 

published works, please include 

citations and electronic links to 

reference materials, studies, research, 

and other empirical data that are not 

widely available. 

1. Is the overall U.S. approach to 

environmental-economic accounting, as 

proposed through this initial set of 

classifications, consistent with the 

principles of environmental-economic 

accounting and economic statistics? Is 

there pertinent information or are there 

key priorities that the EEA–C ITWG 

should consider when improving the 

recommendations for classifications? 

Does the overall approach adhere to 

national economic accounting concepts, 

and reasonably balance these with the 

goals of simplicity, feasibility, and 

reproducibility? If noting a break from 

the Interim Report’s methods or current 

recommendations, please cite sources 

and be specific as to anticipated 

consequences of not making the change. 

2. Are the specific approaches— 

framing of accounts, which account 

tables are recommended in each 

environmental-economic account type— 

taken in these six account chapters and 

any related supplemental materials 

clear, logical, and consistent with (a) the 

precepts of national economic 

accounting (SEEA–CF as supplemental 

to SNA); (b) the environmentaleconomic accounting needs of U.S. 

agencies and other domestic 

stakeholders; and (c) the need for 

international comparability of 

environmental-economic accounts? If 

there are concerns with any specific 

approaches, please note how the overall 

approach or specific accounting 

structures as recommended in the 

Interim Report may be improved, being 

as specific as possible. 

3. Considering first what agencies can 

currently measure, what relevant 

categories or subcategories are missing 

from the initial set of accounts? Or, are 

there categories included in this draft 

that should not be included? Please 

name or describe them, and reasons for 

changing the proposal. Where metrics 

are discussed that may fill account table 

cells, comment on the appropriateness 

of these metrics, and whether specific 

changes may improve the usefulness of 

the accounts to specific stakeholders. 

4. Are there additional, alternative, or 

forthcoming data sources that should be 

considered to (a) improve classifications 

in these chapters; or (b) facilitate how 

these accounts accurately measure the 

components and subcomponents of 

these accounts? Please explain why or 

why not, and how specific data sources 

would improve the utility of specific 

accounts. 

5. As the EEA–C ITWG moves to 

consider metrics that cannot yet be 

measured, but that may serve 

stakeholder needs, are there 

recommendations for specific categories 

and metrics not presently measurable 

but that should be targeted for inclusion 

in the future, or general 

recommendations for how to expand on 

that list? If a metric or classification has 

not been considered to date in the 

United States nationally, is there an 

example of its feasibility (sub-nationally 

in the United States or elsewhere 

internationally)? 

V. Timing for Developing This New 

OMB Statistical Classification 

Guidance 

Following this public comment 

period, the EEA–C ITWG will review 

the comments and revise draft statistical 

classification guidance on the Phase I 

accounts. Then OMB will publish the 

EEA–C ITWG’s proposed 

recommendations for public comment 

in a subsequent Federal Register Notice. 

The EEA–C ITWG will then review the 

comments and develop final 

recommendations to the Chief 

Statistician of the United States at OMB 

on the statistical classification guidance 

on the Phase I accounts in a Final 

Report. The EEA–C ITWG will follow a 

similar process to make 

recommendations for the Phase II and III 

accounts (i.e., the remaining 10 

environmental sector accounts) in the 

National Strategy. OMB will review the 

culminative recommendations and 

make decisions for Phases I–III. It is 

expected that OMB would be issuing 

final guidance in an EnvironmentalEconomic Accounting Classifications 

Manual in 2028.
