SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) is used to
estimate the value to society of marginal reductions in carbon
emissions. The Technical Support Document (TSD), available at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/assets/inforeg/technical-update-social-cost-of-carbon-for-regulator-impact-analysis.pdf,
explains the derivation of the SCC estimates using three peer reviewed
integrated assessment models and provides updated values of the SCC
that reflect minor technical corrections to the estimates released in
May of 2013. In order to allow commenters adequate time to review the
TSD and related information in the scientific literature that they may
wish to consider to inform their comments, OMB is extending the comment
period by 30 days.

Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
