TABLE A-1. AVERAGE ANNUAL COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Activity	Average Annual Burden Hours (from Table A-3)	Hourly Cost		Average Annual Cost
Technical Review of revised application & reapplication	3,660	$74.70	a	$273,402
Evaluate revised applications/reapplications for compliance with 301(h) criteria/prepare 301(h) decisions	2,981	$35.73	b	$106,511
Evaluate monitoring and toxic control program adequacy	2,220	$35.73	b	$79,321
Review State determinations and State certifications and coordinate with State	187	$35.73	b	$6,682
TOTAL	9,048			$465,915
aIt is assumed that the majority of reapplications and additional information submissions are reviewed by a contractor. It is further assumed that the salary level of a contractor working on the 301(h) program is 15 percent higher than that of a GS-9, Step 10, $67,787 or $77,955/year. Thus, based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average salary of a contractor is $37.35/hour. Assuming 100 percent overhead costs for the private sector, the labor cost for contractors is $74.70. (Hourly rate based on 2014 DC-B salary rate table.)
bIt is assumed that the salary level of the typical government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-9, Step 10 salary, or $67,787/year. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a Federal employee is $32.48/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for Federal employees is $35.73/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2014 DC-B salary rate table.)
NOTE: Numbers may not add due to rounding.

aIt is assumed that much of the reapplication and additional information is prepared by a contractor with specialized expertise and equipment. It is further assumed that the salary level of a contractor working on the 301(h) program is 15 percent higher than that of a GS-9, Step 10, $67,787, or $77,955/year. Thus, based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a contractor is $37.35/hour. Assuming 100 percent overhead costs for the private sector, the labor cost for contractors is $74.70/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2014 DC-B salary rate table.)
bIt is assumed that the salary level of a typical local government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-5, Step 4, or $37,859. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a local employee is $18.14/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for local government employees is $19.95/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2014 DC-B salary rate table.)
cIt is assumed that the salary level of a typical State government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-9, Step 1, or $52,146/year. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a State government employee is $24.99/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for State government employees is $27.49/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2014 DC-B salary rate table.)
