ulation of local economies toward new employment and new businesses. By definition, the area where these impacts are expected to occur is the economic region. Information from this section will inform the benefit-cost conclusions in Chapter 10 of the ER. The applicant should use an industry-standard economic input-output model to derive the impacts to the economic region from operation activities. The discussion should include monetized estimates, to the extent practicable. DG-4026, Page 88 Economy The applicant should include in the ER the following information relating to local economic impacts during operations over the licensed life of the proposed plant: • Identification and description of the input-output model, input parameters used, and results generated. The output from most regional input-output models includes: – expected direct and indirect employment attributable to operations – expected direct and indirect income effects attributable to purchases and wages in support of operations • Description of all assumptions affecting the conclusions drawn from this section, including the number of workers that drive the model, who will receive the benefits, and where in the economic region those benefits would most likely be found. The discussion should describe how the model’s conclusions are affected by changes in the assumed number of workers. Taxes To the extent possible the applicant should quantify direct tax-revenue impacts attributable to operation of the proposed project, based on the tax rate data from Chapter 2. Typical tax revenue discussions include the following: • Income - Federal, state, and county income taxes during operations. The applicant should include in this discussion all assumptions about the number of workers, their wages, and their work schedule to fully inform the calculation of taxes. • Sales and use - If present, State, County, and local sales and use taxes should be reported based on the contributions from new
