The U.S. EPA is continuing work to finalize its draft framework for biogenic carbon emissions. This spring, the EPA’s chartered Scientific Advisory Board held a public meeting where it conducted a quality review of the updated draft report on the accounting framework for biogenic carbon emissions.
An EPA spokesman explained the quality review is a standard process whereby the chartered SAB considers the clarity, completeness and scientific quality of draft reports developed by SAB committees and panels. During the review, the chartered SAB determines whether the draft report is ready to be transmitted to the EPA administrator. With regard to the draft report on the accounting framework for biogenic carbon emissions, the EPA spokesman said the SAB identified several issues and has requested the Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel address those concerns and resubmit the report for another quality review by SAB. According to the EPA spokesman, several members of the SAB will work with the panel to respond to the board’s discussion and comments on the draft report. The EPA is working with members to determine a schedule.
