As further support for the Base Estimate, the SAB-EEAC advised in their recent report that the EPA continue to use a wage-risk-based VSL as its Base Estimate, including appropriate sensitivity analyses to reflect the uncertainty of these estimates, and that the only risk characteristic for which adjustments to the VSL can be made is the timing of the risk(EPA-SAB-EEAC-00-013).
According to SAB-EEAC, EPA should continue to use a wage-risk based VSL as its base estimate.
