8U.S. Census Bureau, Table S1601. Language

Survey 1-Year Estimates, available at: http://

ds_name=ACS_2008_1YR_G00_&-_lang=en&- 

redoLog=false&-CONTEXT=st. The table indicates 

that 12.2% of the United States population 5 years 

or older speaks Spanish or Spanish Creole in the 

home and 46.7% of these in-home Spanish speakers 

speak English less than ‘‘very well.’’ 

9The hourly rate is based on Bureau of Labor 

Statistics estimate of the mean hourly wage for 

office clerks, general, No. 43–9061. Occupational 

Employment and Wages, May 2009, available at

English.8 Staff therefore projects that 

approximately 6.5 percent of used car 

sales will be conducted in Spanish. 

Dealers will incur the additional burden 

of completing and displaying a second 

Buyers Guide in 6.5 percent of sales 

assuming that dealers choose to comply 

with the Rule by posting both English 

and Spanish Buyers Guides. The annual 

burden hours associated with 

completing and posting Buyers Guides 

is 1,737,638 hours (1,022,140 hours for 

entering data on Buyers Guides plus 

715,498 hours for displaying Buyers 

Guides). Therefore, staff estimates that 

the additional burden caused by the 

Rule’s requirement that dealers display 

Spanish language Buyers Guides when 

conducting sales in Spanish is 112,947 

hours (1,737,638 hours × 6.5%). The 

other components of the annual hours 

burden, i.e., purchasing Buyers Guides 

and revising them for changes in 

warranty coverage, remain unchanged. 

Estimated annual cost burden: 

$26,301,525 in labor costs and 

$4,906,275 in non-labor costs 

1. Labor costs: Labor costs are derived 

by applying appropriate hourly cost 

figures to the burden hours described 

above. Staff has determined that all of 

the tasks associated with ordering 

forms, entering data on Buyers Guides, 

posting Buyers Guides on vehicles, and 

revising them as needed, including the 

corresponding tasks associated with 

Spanish Buyers Guides, are typically 

done by clerical or low-level 

administrative personnel. Using a 

clerical cost rate of $13.32 per hour 9

and an estimated burden of 1,974,589 

hours for disclosure requirements, the 

total labor cost burden would be 

approximately $26,301,525. 

2. Capital or other non-labor costs: 

Although the cost of Buyers Guides can 

vary considerably, based on industry 

input staff estimates that the average 

cost of each Buyers Guide is twenty 

cents. The estimated cost of Buyers 

Guides for the 24,531,374 used cars sold 

by dealers in 2009 is approximately 

$4,906,275. In making this estimate, 

staff conservatively assumes that all 

dealers will purchase preprinted forms 

instead of producing them internally, 

although dealers may produce them at 

minimal expense using current office 

automation technology. Capital and 

start-up costs associated with the Rule 

are minimal.
