Q.6 to specification of components Ol'
coverage.
For the purposes ot a.ccoWltlng for the
regional de\-cloprnent objecUve. the
standard set or economic accounUng
areas des1gnated on the attachl'd map
v.111 be used. 'The Co~U wUI malnta.1n
a set of economic projections tor these
econonuc accounting areaa and a ca-
pacity to Provide additional anaJ)"Sis tor
planning litudles on request. The eco-
nomic area projections will be compatible
with the Council's projections of national:
grov.'th.
A plan may have efleets Oil one or more
of the economic a.ccountlng ftre6B. A1;
many economic a.ccountlna areas as
necessary Will be Included In order to
ocn-er the geographic area relevant to Ule
evaluation of the regional developmf.>nt
obJecU\'e. The etrect8 of a plan upon the
lndlvldual !!'Conomtc accounting areas
comprising this geographic area should
be IdenUfied In the planning report tn
order to take aocount of the pllUl In sub-
6eQlU'nt evwuollons of problems and
Ilef>ds.
The system of accounts will also d1.s-
play the beneficlal and M\'el"6e efleets tor
the geographic art'll relevant to the e\'Il.l-
uatlon of the regional de\'elopment
objective In relaUon to the other parts
of the Nation. The number of economic
accounting fl.Teas to be used ~1n \'Rry,
dependent on the lnIormaUon available
and the extent of the effects of the plan.
It Is not proPOSt'd that the E'ffecte of a
pla.n be ldenUned a.cT'06S all of the Indi-
vidual economlc accounting areas shown
on the a.ttached map. The evaluation wlll,
howe\'er, as a mInimum, analyze the ef-
fects of a pllln upon tile geographic area
relevant to the evaluation of the regional
development objective and the rest of
the Nation. U a plan results In substan-
tial effects upon oUler regions ot the Na-
tion, the regions l>hould be IdenU.ll.ed and
the effects evaluated.
The incidence of national econom.lc
development adverse and beneficial
effects across the syswm ot regional ac-
counts must sum ro the total national
economlc development adveT3e and bene-
ficial effects e1..aluated tor tJle plan. TIle
incidence of locatlonal etrect.&, both bene_
ficial and adver~, acros.s the s}"6tem of
region&] aooounts must sum to zero for
benefl.clal elrects and must sum to l':ero
for adverse el'l'ects. In Ca.se6 when an
effect category Includes both national
economic de-\'e-Iopme-nt effects and loca-
tlonaJ effects. the sum of the effects for
that category across the l'Ystem of re-
gional aceount5 will equal the total na-
tional ecol)Qffijc de\'elopment etJecl..5 In-
cluded In the category,
Beneficial and sd\'erse effects on the
regional development objecti\'e arising
from the U<;(' of resources othe.rwlse un-
employed or undl.'rcmployed and from
resources disp1&ced and liubsequenUy un-
emplo}'ed represent special categorlE'S of
effect8 in the regional de\'eloprnent ac-
count, The incidence ot these effects,
both beneficial and adverse, 8.C1'OM the
s;;'stem of regions.! attount8 does not sum
to zero for each category but will sum
to the total value of such etJectJI for
ea.ch categon" e\'sluated for eJJ regions
identified.

NOTICES

The u.~e of the standard set of eco-
nomic accounting areas will not, bow-
ever, rule out the use of other reglon,
such as hydrolog1c reg:!<IDlI or states
"hose deUneationll are important. in
measurtng benetklal or adverse etJectl! on
~ed componentl! of the regional de-
velopment obJreth"e. Howe\'er, In such
cases, the evaluation should also in-
clude an analys1.s of the etJects of a
plan utUizing the standard set of eco-
nomIc accounting areas.
Table 4 lihov..s Information for region
1, region 2, and the rest of the Nation
to lllWltrate that the 15ystern of regional
accOWltl! Is to show the major incidence
of the plan and the rela.Uon to the rest.
of the Nation.
The second series 01 displays (table 6)
will be used to .pro\1de a ready com-

par1son ot alternative plans, Each of
the altemat1\'e plans will be paired ,dth
the reconunended plan so that the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of each can
be compared, Other r-omparlsoru; be-
tw~ alternative plans may be displayed
where relevant. The Information needed
for tilLs second selies of dLsplays wlll be
taken from the first serit'$, The informa-
tion mould be liummartzed and con-
densed to make It as brieI and }'et as
meanIngful as possible-. D1tJerences be-
tween the- recommended plan and alter-
natives should be se-t forth In & eon-
su.tent manner so that por:;ltl\'e and oega-
th'e ditJerences In beneflclal and adverse
effectl! are readlly discernible. Table 6
