EPA Publishes Integrated Modeling Guidance
On January 12, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published notice that the Agency's White Paper on Integrated Modeling for Integrated Environmental Decision Making is available in final form. EPA's Federal Register notice explains that this white paper
"1) Outlines the need for and value of integrated modeling
For EPA science and decision-making; (2) analyzes the state of the art
and practice of integrated modeling and include examples of how this
approach has been successfully applied and the lessons learned; (3)
identifies the challenges to more fully implementing this approach in
the future; and (4) presents a plan to create an enabling environment
to facilitate a concerted, systematic, and stable approach to the
development and application of integrated modeling for integrated
decision making."
This white paper has been produced by EPA's Council for Regulatory Environmental Modeling. Before publication, it was subject to public comment, it was evaluated and approved by the EPA's Science Policy Council, and it was further evaluated by the independent National Advisory Council on Environmental Policy and Technology.
