OSTI ID:6355633

A public review draft of NAPAP's Assessment Plan, released on October 12, 1988, outlined specific questions being addressed by NAPAP, analysis methods being used to answer the assessment questions, and the level of scientific confidence expected for the various answers. As described in the Plan, the 1989 and 1990 State-of-Science and State-of-Technology Reports and the Integrated Assessment will provide substantial documentation, guidance, and recommendations on the major issues related to acidic deposition, based on the full complement of available technical information. Public comments on NAPAP's draft Assessment Plan were received at the Public Meeting on November 17, 1988. In addition, written statements on the Plan were accepted through November 30, 1988. Complete drafts of all statements made during this public comment period will be maintained by NAPAP as part of a record available to the public. All statements received during this comment period have been considered in developing the revised Plan published in January 1989. The revised Plan will guide the development of NAPAP's Assessment Reports to be released in 1989 and 1990. The purpose of this document is to summarize the issues raised during the public comment period on the October 1988 public review draft of the Assessment Plan, and to describe NAPAP's resolution of these issues and the resulting effect on the January 1989 revised Plan. As such, this document should be examined in conjunction with the revised Plan.
