The
contractor,
respondent,
and
state/
local
agency
labor
rates
used
in
the
1998
ICR
were
updated
based
upon
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics'
Employment
Cost
Index
(
ECI).
The
ECI
is
an
economic
indicator
which
measures
changes
in
compensation
costs.

The
EPA
labor
rates
were
updated
based
upon
the
US
Office
of
Personnel
Management's
Federal
Pay
Scale.
