Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 169 / Friday, September 1, 2017 / Notices 41619 

3The estimates for cost per response are derived 

using the following formula: Average Burden Hours 

per Response times XX per Hour = Average Cost per 

Response. 

The hourly cost figures are based on data for 

wages plus benefits from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (as of 11/9/2016) at https://www.bls.gov/ 

oes/current/naics2_22.htm and http://www.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.nr0.htm. The figures are rounded 

for the purposes of calculations in this table and 

are: 

1. For electrical engineers, $64.29/hr., rounded to 

$64/hr. 

2. for attorneys, $129.12/hr., rounded to $129/hr. 

3. for administrative staff, $37.75/hr., rounded to 

$38/hr. 

The record retention cost is based on the 

administrative staff category; R3 is based on the 

attorney category; Requirements R1, R4, R5 and R6 

are based on the electrical engineer category; and 

R2 is a mix of the electrical engineer and related 

engineering review process (30 hrs. at $64/hr.) and 

attorney (4 hrs. at $129/hr.) categories. The 

resulting average hourly figure is $71.65, rounded 

to $72/hr.
