The difference in cost for the first and subsequent years appears to be based on EPA's estimate that each task required including compliance determinations for the new facilities covered, the overall affect of the modified interpretation of otherwise use, rule familiarization, and report preparation will be substantially higher during the first year.

Here are the options: Possible answers: (1). yes. (2). it is not possible to tell. (3). no.
Is it possible to conclude that if the premise is true, then so is the hypothesis?
(1).
