NAPAP Assessment Process Compendium. Volume 1. Plan and Schedule for NAPAP Assessment Reports: Public Review Draft 1989-1990

摘要

The report includes information on the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program proposed assessment structure and approach; it provides detailed outlines of the technical information to be presented in the State of Science and Technology Reports, and the specific questions to be addressed in the Integrated Assessment. NAPAP's approach to uncertainties, the comparative evaluation of control scenarios, the peer and external review processes, and a schedule of NAPAP's major activities are discussed. The document was released for a five week review period, during which NAPAP accepted written comments. A Public Hearing was held in November, 1988 to receive further comments on the Assessment Plan. The availability of the Plan and the schedule for a Public Meeting to allow presentation of comments on the Plan were announced in the Federal Register, by notice to a NAPAP mailing list of more than 2000 individuals, and to a wide set of interest groups. These groups included all of the principal government entities; the press; the scientific, environmental, and commercial communities interested in acid rain control issues; and the individuals and organizations which had submitted critiques of the 1987 NAPAP Interim Assessment.
