the study says. Sustainability impact assessment examines the probable effects of a
particular project or proposal on the social, environmental, and economic pillars of
sustainabilitya greatly expanded approach.One outcome: The culture change being proposed here will
require EPA to conduct an expanding number of assessments.As a result, The
agency can become more anticipatory, making greater use of new science and
of forecasting.The catch, the study recognizes, is that under the new approach
the EPA becomes more involved than ever in predicting the future.Forecasting is
unavoidable when dealing with sustainability, but our ability to do forecasting is
limited, the document says.One forecast it is safe to make: the study
shows whatever else the new sustainability mission does for EPA, it aims
to be a much, much more importantand powerful-- federal agency than it

seeking loans backed by troubled entities like Fannie and Freddie."Taxpayers are losing
every quarter on Fannie and Freddie," a senior Senate Democratic aide said.
"We want to lessen the burden on the taxpayers (who are on
the hook for failed government-backed loans)."The aide added, "This is an incentive
to go to the private-sector mortgage market."A fact sheet on the Senate
bill sent out Saturday to House Republicans noted that the offset has
"bipartisan support" and was included in the House GOP-backed payroll tax cut
bill. It also was included in President Obama's list of suggestions to
the now-defunct "Super Committee" tasked with reducing the deficit.The House still must
