Page 1 of 47 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE WORKER PROTECTION STANDARD

APPENDIX B Cost Estimation, Proposed Revisions



## B.1. Training

Step 1. Calculate the costs per actor (baseline and proposal) Baseline

 Proposed options revise requirements for

o Worker training (TRAIN-02, 03, 06, and 08) with a common baseline. See Appendix A.1.a.

o Handler training (TRAIN-12 and 14) w ith a common baseline dependent on the size of the WPS farm . See Appendix A.1.d.

o Record keeping, for which there are cu rrently no requirements. See Appendix A.1.c and A.1.e.

 Worker and handler baseline costs can be summed.

## Baseline, Other Regions

 Roughly half the states in the Florida, New York, and Washington regions do not participate in the current, vol untary training verification prog ram. Thus, costs are half that shown in the Training Verification lines of Table B.1-2. Re sulting expected perworker cost is $3.66, per-WPS ha ndler cost is $5.39, and per- CPHE handler cost is $5.22.

 Almost no states in the Iowa, Ohio, and Texas regions participate in the current, voluntary training verification program. T hus, there are no costs for the Training Verification lines of Table B.1-2. Resulting expected per-worker co st is $3.40, per-WPS handler cost is $5.12, and per-C PHE handler cost is $4.94.



## Proposal Worker Training. Immediate training with exceptions (TRAIN-02), annual (TRAIN-03), expanded material (+15 minutes) (TRAIN-06), elevated trainer standards (TRAIN-08).

 Only WPS handler trainers or individuals who have comp leted a Train-the-Trainers program may lead worker training sessions.

o Handler trainers will lead 85% of se ssions, compared to 14% in baseline (see Table A.1.b-3).

o Train-the-Trainer graduates will lead 15% of sessions, compared to 10% in baseline (see Table A.1.b-3).

 Training session will last about 45 minutes (see Table A.1.a-27)

 Due to immediate training (with exceptions ) on an annual basis, Large WPS farms will hold 3.33 trainings each year, on average, up from 2.37 per year and Small WPS farms will hold 1.21 trainings each year, on average, up from 0.79 per year.

o Handler trainers will therefore lead, on average, 2.8 and 1.0 sessions.

o Train-the-Trainer grads will lead 0.5 and 0.2 sessions, on average. Handler Training. Annual traini ng (TRAIN-12), expanded materi al (+15 minutes) (TRAIN-14).

 Training sessions last 1 hour.

 Large WPS farms will hold 0.8 sessions per year, on average, (4 sessions for every 5 large WPS farms) compared to 0.525 session per year; Large-small WPS farms will hold 0.5 session per year, on average, (1 session for every 2 farms) compared to 0.246; CPHEswill hold 1.3 sessions per year, on average, compared to 1 session.

###  Wages and time spent on activities are as explained in Appendix A.1.

 Workers trained each year will account 90.3% of total workforce

o Exclude workers employed 2 days or le ss, which EPA assumes account for under 0.83% of the workforce, i.e. , 3% of part-time employ ees, who are 27.5% of total workforce (NASS, 2007 and 2008a).

o Excludes returning handlers, about 8.89% of workforce, who receive handler safety training.

 Workers obtaining hazard information under exception account for 4.8% of total workforce

o Workers employed two da ys or less (0.83%).

o Additional 3.975% of workforce. EPA a ssumes 25% of other new hires, who are 15.9% of total workforce, receive hazard information prior to full training.

 Training verification adjusted to account for new, limited cate gories of qualified trainers.

## Case 1. All requirements implemented immediately Step 3. Calculate the PV of regional costs

 For WPS farms and WPS handlers, regional costs are multiplied by 8.61 to account for a 0.47% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% di scount rate (7.38 for a 7% discount rate).

 For WPS workers, regional costs are multip lied by 8.03 to account for a 2.14% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% discount rate (6.91 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHEs, regional costs are multiplied by 10.57 to account for a 4.27% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount rate (8.93 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHE handlers, regional costs are multip lied by 8.85 to account for a 0.17% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount rate (7.57 for a 7% discount rate). 

## Step 4. Calculate regional level incremental costs Step 5. Calculate the annualized incremen tal cost of the proposed requirements

## Case 2. All requirements impl emented with 2 year delay Step 3. Calculate the PV of regional costs

 For WPS farms and WPS handler s, proposal costs are region al baseline costs (Year 1) multiplied by 1.97 plus proposal costs (Year 1) multiplied by 6.65 to account for a 0.47% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% discount rate (1.93 and 5.45 for a 7% discount rate).

 For WPS workers, proposal costs are regional baseline costs (Year 1) multiplied by 1.95 plus proposal costs (Year 1) multiplied by 6.08 to account for a 2.14% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% discount rate (1. 91 and 5.00 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHEs, proposal costs are regional ba seline costs (Year 1) multiplied by 2.01 plus proposal costs (Year 1) multiplied by 8.56 to account for a 4.27% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount rate (1. 97 and 6.95 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHE handlers, proposal costs are regional baseline costs (Year 1) multiplied by 1.97 plus proposal costs (Year 1) multiplied by 6.88 to account for a 0.17% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount ra te (1.94 and 5.63 for a 7% discount rate).

The proposed changes to entry restrictions (Entry -01, -02, -03, and -05) are not anticipated to have measurable impacts, as explained in Chapter 3.3.6 and Appendix A.4. Accordingly, the regional and national incremental co sts are all zero, and no tables are provided in this section.



## B.6. PPE

Step 1. Calculate the costs per actor (baseline and proposal) Baseline

 Respirator fit (PPE-01), revi sions to the Certified Crop A dvisor (CCA) exemptions (PPE02, 03), and specification of the disposal ofcontaminated PPE (PPE-05) impose no perfarm or per-firm costs.

 Revised standards for closed systems (PPE -04), see Table A.6.c-1. Frequencies are adjusted to distinguish between large and la rge-small farms. Seve nty-five percent of farms are assumed to use closed systems (25% do not), weighted by the proportion of farms in each size category that use pesticides in a given year (90.2% of large WPS farms and 89.7% of large-small WPS farms).*** EO 12866 Review Draft – Deliberative – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

## Step 3. Calculate the PV of regional costs

 For WPS farms and WPS handlers and WPS employees working under a CCA, regional baseline costs are multiplied by 8.61 to account for a 0.47% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% discount rate (7.38 for a 7% discount rate).

 For WPS farms and WPS handlers and WPS employees working under a CCA, PV of regional proposal costs is th e total cost for Year 1 plus proposal costs for Years 2-10, where the latter is multiplied by 7.61 to account for a 0.47% rate of decline in numbers and a 3% discount rate (6.38 for a 7% discount rate).*** EO 12866 Review Draft – Deliberative – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***



### Page 43 of 47  For CPHEs, including self-employed CPHEs, regional baseline costs are multiplied by 10.57 to account for a 4.27% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% di scount rate (8.93 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHEs, including self-emp loyed CPHEs, PV of proposal costs is the total cost for Year 1 plus proposal costs for Years 2-10 where the latter is multiplied by 9.57 to account for a 4.27% rate of growth in numb ers and a 3% discount rate (7.93 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHE handlers, regional costs are multip lied by 8.85 to account for a 0.17% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount rate (7.57 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CPHE handlers, PV of proposal costs is th e total cost for Year 1 plus proposal costs for Years 2-10 where the latter is multip lied by 7.85 to account for a 0.17% rate of growth in numbers and a 3% discount rate (6.57 for a 7% discount rate).

 For CCA firms and employees, regional ba seline and proposal costs are multiplied by 8.79 to account for a 3% discount rate (7.52 for a 7% discount rate).

## B.8. Emergency Response

This Section intentionally left blank.

The proposed changes to emergency respons e (Emerg-01, and Emerg-03) are largely clarifications of existing requirements. None of these potential requirements are anticipated to have measurable impacts, as explained in Chapter 3.3.8 and Appendix A.6. Accordingly, the regional and national incremental co sts are all zero, and no tables are provided in this section.
