Integrating Environmental Rigor Into Every Stage of Planning, Investment, and Regulation
In an era of heightened regulatory scrutiny, expanding climate commitments, and growing public demand for environmental accountability, the ability to produce analytically sound, legally defensible environmental analysis has become a prerequisite for moving projects forward. Jack Faucett Analytics brings decades of experience integrating economic rigor with environmental analysis—helping federal and state agencies meet their regulatory obligations while advancing the infrastructure and policy goals that communities depend on.
Our Approach
We treat regulatory compliance and sound economic analysis as complementary objectives, not competing ones. Our methodology integrates benefit-cost discipline, pollution economics, and environmental systems analysis to produce findings that are both technically defensible and practically actionable. We work alongside agency teams to structure environmental review processes, develop the analytical inputs those processes require, and present findings in ways that hold up to regulatory scrutiny—whether from oversight agencies, public commenters, or the courts.
Core Capabilities
NEPA Documentation & Environmental Impact Analysis: JFA provides the economic and technical inputs needed to support environmental impact statements, environmental assessments, and categorical exclusion determinations—helping agencies meet NEPA requirements while maintaining the analytical quality that complex reviews demand.
Regulatory Impact Analysis & Pollution Control Economics: We develop regulatory impact analyses for environmental rulemakings, quantifying the costs and benefits of proposed standards across a range of program areas—from air quality and greenhouse gas emissions to stormwater management and hazardous materials handling.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Modeling & Climate Analysis: JFA supports agencies in analyzing greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related impacts associated with transportation, energy, and infrastructure investments—providing the quantitative framework for climate commitments and supporting the growing federal requirements for climate disclosure in project review.
Distributional Impact & Environmental Justice Analysis: We evaluate how environmental consequences and mitigation benefits are distributed across communities, providing the equity-focused analysis that federal environmental reviews increasingly require and that agencies need to respond credibly to public and political scrutiny.
Why Jack Faucett Analytics?
Environmental Work Grounded in Economic Expertise: JFA’s environmental analysis is distinguished by its foundation in rigorous economics. We don’t just describe environmental impacts—we quantify their costs and benefits using accepted federal methodologies, producing findings that are fully integrated with the economic analysis that investment and regulatory decisions require.
Decades of Federal Agency Experience: JFA has supported FHWA, PHMSA, the Army Corps of Engineers, and other major federal agencies on environmental analysis for decades—building the institutional knowledge and federal relationships that complex environmental reviews demand.
Cost-Effective Paths Through Complex Requirements: Environmental compliance is often the critical path constraint for major projects and rulemakings. JFA’s practical orientation—grounded in deep familiarity with federal review processes—helps clients identify the most efficient path through regulatory requirements, saving time and reducing the risk of delays or legal challenges.
“The best environmental analysis doesn’t just satisfy regulatory requirements—it informs better decisions. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.”
