SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby 

given that the SAB Environmental 

Economics Advisory Committee will 

hold a public meeting to review EPA’s 

revised Guidelines for Preparing 

Economic Analyses posted at http://

vwRepNumLookup/EE–0516?

OpenDocument. The SAB was 

established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide 

independent scientific and technical 

advice to the Administrator on the 

technical basis for Agency positions and 

regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The 

SAB will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

Background: The mission of the EEAC 

is to provide independent advice to the 

EPA Administrator, through the 

chartered SAB, regarding the economic 

analysis of EPA’s decisions. EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Economics (NCEE) issued the 

Guidelines for Preparing Economic 

Analyses in September 2000 to 

represent Agency policy on the 

preparation of economic analysis called 

for under applicable legislative and 

administrative requirements. 

Subsequently, the EEAC provided 

advice on the 2000 Guidelines for 

Preparing Economic Analyses and 

issued an Advisory posted at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 

31C8A71147AF2AD285257193

00562630/$File/eea99020.pdf. Over the 

past eight years, the literature has grown 

considerably and EPA has received new 

guidance from the Office of 

Management and Budget pertaining to 

the Agency’s conduct of regulatory 

analysis. In response, NCEE has revised 

and updated the Guidelines for 

Preparing Economic Analyses and has 

requested the SAB’s review. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Materials in support of this meeting, 

including an agenda and charge 

questions to the EEAC will be placed on
