Download as PDF 25546 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices previously noted would be performed by managerial and/or professional technical personnel, again, at an hourly rate of $42, with 25% allocable to legal staff, at an hourly rate of $55.45 Thus, of the 3,747 total estimated disclosure burden hours, 2,810 hours would be attributable to managerial and/or professional technical personnel, with the remaining 937 hours attributable to legal staff. This yields $118,020 and $51,535, respectively, in labor costs—in total, $169,555. 2. Non-Labor Costs The amendment requires sellers seeking written agreements from consumers to disclose clearly and conspicuously that the purpose of the agreement is to authorize the seller to place prerecorded calls to them. Other than the initial recordkeeping costs, this disclosure requirement will impose de minimis costs, for the reasons discussed above. Similarly, staff has no reason to believe that the amendment’s requirement of an automated interactive opt-out mechanism will impose other than de minimis costs, for the reasons discussed above. The industry comments on the amendment uniformly support the view that automated interactive keypress technologies are now affordable, cost-effective, and widely available.46 Moreover, most, if not all of the industry telemarketers who commented, including many small business telemarketers, said they are currently using interactive keypress mechanisms. Thus, it does not appear that this requirement will impose any material capital or other non-labor costs on telemarketers. Thus, cumulatively for the live telemarketing call provisions of the TSR and the prerecorded call amendment, total labor costs are $21,498,863 ($388,190 + $39,354 + $20,901,764 + $169,555); total capital and other nonlabor costs are $6,502,350 (office supplies and phone-related costs).
