Total Annual Cost: $4,409,919 (Paperwork Burden) + $47,133.45 (Record Retention) = $4,453,052.45. A more accurate breakdown of the FERC–60/61/555A cost categories follows: Labor Cost: The total estimated annual cost for labor burden to respondents is $4,405,919 [$185,211 (FERC Form No. 60) + $1,548 (FERC–61) + $4,219,160 (FERC–555A)]. FERC Form No. 60: 2925 hours (75 hours × 39 respondents) * $63.32/hour = $185,211. FERC–61: 39 hours (.5 hours × 78 respondents) * $39.68/hour = $1,548. FERC–555A: 126,360 hours (1080 hours × 117 respondents) * $33.39/hour = $4,219,160. Storage Cost: 8 In addition to the labor (burden cost provided above) the table reflects an additional cost for record retention and storage: • Paper storage costs (using an estimate of 60 cubic feet × $6.46 per cubic foot): $387.60 per respondent annually. Total annual paper storage cost to industry ($387.60 × 117 respondents): $45,349.20. This estimate assumes that a respondent stores the same volume of paper as it did in the past and that the cost of such storage has not changed. We expect that this estimate should trend downward over time as more companies move away from paper storage and rely more heavily on electronic storage. • Electronic storage costs: $15.25 per respondent annually. Total annual electronic storage cost to industry ($15.25 × 117 respondents): $1,784.25. This calculation retains the previous estimate that storage of 1GB per year cost of $15.25. We expect that this estimate should trend downward over time as the cost of electronic storage technology, including cloud storage, continues to decrease. For example, external hard drives of approximately 500GB are available for approximately $50. In addition, cloud storage plans from multiple providers for 1TB of storage (with a reasonable amount of 7 Each of the 117 entities is assumed to have both paper and electronic record retention. 8 Internal analysis assumes 50% paper storage and 50% electronic storage.
