Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 212 / Friday, October 31, 2008 / Notices hourly burden still increased because of an increase in the number of Partners. For perspective on the magnitude of partner growth, the number of Partners at the end of 2004 was 865, whereas by year-end there will be an estimated 1,286. The total cost estimate over the 3 year period for this renewal ICR is $1,991,978, or an average of $663,992 per year, of which $16,632 is O&M costs. The total cost to GPP and CHP Partners is $1,549,178 (16,632 is O&M), or $516,393 (5,544 is O&M) per year. In the previous 2004 ICR renewal, the total cost over the 3 year period was $1,101,749. The total cost estimate increase for Partners is due to an increase in the number of Partners and increases in wages. Dated: October 24, 2008.
