Download as PDF 68430 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 246 / Thursday, December 24, 2009 / Notices According to Bureau of Labor Statistics from May 2008, salaried optometrists earn an average wage of $50.58 per hour and general office clerical personnel earn an average of $12.90 per hour.4 With these categories of personnel, respectively, likely to perform the brunt of the disclosure (for optometrists) and recordkeeping (for office clerks) aspects of the Rule, estimated total labor cost attributable to the Rule would be approximately $32.8 million. [($50.58 × 566,666.7 hours) + ($12.90 × 283,333.3 hours) = $32,317,001] The contact lens market is a multibillion dollar market; one recent survey estimates that contact lens sales totaled $2.37 billion from Jan 1, 2006 to Dec 31, 2006.5 Thus, the total labor cost burden estimate of $32.3 million represents approximately 1.5% of the overall market. Estimated annual non-labor cost burden: $0 or minimal. Staff believes that the Rule’s disclosure and recordkeeping requirements impose negligible capital or other non-labor costs, as the affected entities are likely to have the necessary supplies and/or equipment already (e.g., prescription pads, patients’ medical charts, facsimile machines and paper, telephones, and recordkeeping facilities such as filing cabinets or other storage).
