represents 0.0009 percent of the gross regional product of the Colorado River Basin. This <br />gross regional product expansion would be added to the output of the national economy. <br />Similarly, there are expansions in employment (0.OO1S percent), earnings (0.0018 percent), <br />and government revenues (0.0007 percent). Under Scenario B1, there are contractions in the <br />national economy and these are also reported relative to the level of activity in the Colorado <br />River Basin regional economy. The contraction represents -0.0008 percent of the product of <br />the regional economy and this product would be withdrawn from the national economy. <br />There aze similar contractions in employment, earnings, and government revenues. <br />Table I-7-3 reports the results of national efficiency in terms of the levels of activity in the <br />without fish data set. Thus, under Scenario A1, there would be a $4.40 million dollar <br />expansion in the national economy projected on the basis of the 1982 levels of economic <br />activity. Similarly, there would be an increase in employment of 230 jobs and increases in <br />earnings and government revenues. Under Scenario B 1, there would be a contraction in the <br />national economy of -$3.90 million. There would be a corresponding reduction in <br />employment of 1S0 jobs. <br />Table I-7-2 reports the impacts associated with the proposed critical habitat designation in <br />terms of percentage deviation from the without fish scenario. Under Scenario A2 there is an <br />expansion in the national economy and this expansion is reported in Table I-7-2 relative to <br />the level of economic activity in the Colorado River Basin region. Thus, the expansion <br />represents 0.0011 percent of the real gross regional product of the Colorado River Basin. <br />This real gross regional product expansion would be added to the output of the national <br />economy. Similarly, there are expansions in employment (0.OO1S percent), earnings (0.0018 <br />percent), and government revenues (0.0009 percent). Under Scenario B2, the impacts in the <br />national economy are reported relative to the level of activity in the Colorado River Basin <br />regional economy. Effectively 0.0 percent of the real gross regional product would be <br />withdrawn from the national economy. There aze expansions in employment (0.0003 percent) <br />and earnings (0.0001 percent). <br />I-43 <br />
