CEA Appendix









Hi Heidi and Margo--

As we discussed, we will be moving forward with adding the CEA to the
RIA as Appendix 7b.  Attached please find what I believe to be the final
version.  I've made the following changes to the version sent yesterday:

1.  Removed the summary

2.  Renumbered all of the sections accordingly

3.  aknowledged Abt's controbutioni in the last paragraph on page 2 as
follows: "In this CEA, based largely on a report prepared under contract
with Abt Associates, we calculated both life years saved and statistical
lives saved."  

4.  Added a footnote on this page as well indicating: "The full report
prepared by Abt Associates is included in the docket for this rule."

I'm also attaching Abt's report for the docket:

I believe this closes out the cost effectiveness analysis chapter.

Cheers!

Nathalie
