 Calculations for Paperwork Burden and Costs for Data Generation Activities 

Estimated Burden

(a-1) Estimated costs for these assays are from Table 8 in the EPA report entitled: "Laboratory Testing of Chemicals for Endocrine Disruption Potential - Analysis of Market Factors" 

(October 14, 2009) (Ref. 8). Shared costs in columns 3 & 4 of that table were divided by the tests included in the group, which include analytical chemistry where appropriate. 

(a-2) The estimated costs for these assays were adjusted using an inflation factor to convert 2009$ to 2012$. Specifically, the estimated cost in (a-1) was entered into the online 

inflation calculator provided by US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor and Statistics at
