In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines for economic analysis, we use a real social discount rate of 3 percent in the analysis. The social discount rate is assumed to have a triangular probability distribution with a lower bound of 1 percent and an upper bound of 7 percent in the sensitivity analysis.
