EPA Cost Calculation Workbook

The EPA has released a new Cost Calculation Workbook, intended to assist regulated entities in determining the costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations. This workbook appears to be a new tool designed to standardize or clarify cost estimation processes.

While this is a non-binding guidance document, entities that interact with EPA regulations may find it useful for internal cost assessments and reporting. Compliance officers should review the workbook to understand the methodologies and data points suggested for cost calculations, which could inform future regulatory impact analyses or compliance planning.
