Comments to Highway Administration and Army Corps on Addressing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The Institute for Policy Integrity submitted comments to the Federal Highway Administration and the US Army Corps of Engineers, challenging the claim that project-level greenhouse gas emissions are too insignificant to contribute to climate change. The Institute asserts that agencies are required to address climate effects and should follow Circular A-4 and best economic practices by quantifying and monetizing these emissions, noting that the US Army Corps specifically fails to consider downstream emissions from oil drilling.

• The Institute for Policy Integrity disputes the claim that greenhouse gas emissions at the project level are too small to impact climate change and thus do not require addressing.
• The US Army Corps of Engineers is criticized for omitting downstream emissions from oil drilling and failing to monetize the damages caused by greenhouse gas emissions, despite monetizing other project impacts.
• The Institute argues that quantifying and monetizing greenhouse gas emissions is a requirement of Circular A-4 and aligned with best economic practices.
