From page 1...
... Further, the committee recommends that the IWG provide guidance in their technical support documents about how SCC uncertainty should be represented and discussed in individual regulatory impact analyses that use the SCC. The committee recommends that each update of the SCC include a section in the technical support document that discusses the various types of uncertainty in the overall SCC estimation approach, addresses how different models used in SCC estimation capture uncertainty, and discusses uncertainty that is not captured in the estimates.
From page 2...
... the IWG provide symmetric treatment of both low and high values from the frequency distribution of SCC estimates conditional on each discount rate. The committee also reminds readers that it will be exploring these and other broader issues further in Phase 2 of this study; the committee may offer further discussion of these issues in its Phase 2 report including the modeling of the climate system and the representation of uncertainty in the estimation of the SCC.
