 Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

      The estimated Agency burden associated with this Consolidated ICR is shown on Table 6-8 with comments indicated on the table. The detailed costs associated with the Agency burden are shown in Table 6-9. The hourly rates for EPA staff were based on a composite management level at GS-15/5 ($73.20); technical support at GS-12/5 ($44.28), and clerical support at GS-7/5 ($24.96), using the 2018 General Schedule salary table for the locality pay area of Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA, effective January 2018 (U.S. OPM, 2018). (Note that Tables 6-8 and 6-9 appear at the end of section 6(e)).

 Reasons for Change in Burden

      Thre is no change in the total estimated respondent burden (745,926 hours) from that currently in the OMB inventory.

The up-to-date wage rates and the change from the previous ICR are as follows:
          Manager - new rate, $77.86; prior rate; $77.81 . (less than 1 percent) percent increase)
          Clerical - new rate, $37.76; prior rate, $30.36 (24 percent increase)
          Professional/technical - new rate, $78.33; prior rate, $64.55 (21 percent increase).
