Total one-time ................................................................................. Total recurring ................................................................................. 27 Total ......................................................................................... jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Estimated one-time cost burden to respondents is $904,800; [i.e., 7540 hours @ $120 an hour (compliance cost) for the first year equals $904,800)]. In subsequent years, respondents will incur an estimated cost burden of $166,840; [i.e., (1290 hours @ $120 an hour (compliance cost)) + 430 hours @ $28 an hour (recordkeeping cost) equals $166,840 1]. The average annual recurring cost burden per respondent is $776 ($166,840/215 = $776). The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining, disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; (4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5) searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the information. The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than anyone particular function or activity. 1 The order approving Reliability Standard EOP– 008–1 mistakenly used the $120 an hour figure for all the reoccurring hours. This caused an overstatement of the reoccurring cost burden by $39,560 ($206,400 reported in the order minus the corrected figure of $166,840 equals 166,840), because 430 hours should have been calculated at the lower recordkeeping figure of $28 an hour. Additionally, the order approving the standard listed the total recordkeeping cost as $10,240 and it should have been $12,040.

In the EA, Commission staff analyzed the potential environmental effects of the project and concludes that issuing an exemption for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
