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: 2,925 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 (1,080 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 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.

In addition, cloud storage plans from multiple providers for 1TB of storage (with a reasonable amount of requests and data transfers) are available for less than $35 per month. Dated: May 21, 2019.

The Program effectively promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies by engaging GreenChill partners to set an annual refrigerant emission reduction goal and develop a Refrigerant Management Plan reflecting the company’s implementation objectives. Implementation of the partners’ Refrigeration Management Plan to reduce refrigerant emissions enhances the protection of the environment and may save Partners money and improve operational efficiency. The GreenChill Program offers the opportunity for any individual store to be GreenChill certified at the silver-, gold- or platinum-level when it demonstrates that the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the store’s MBTU/hour cooling load, and that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months is below a specified percentage depending on each GreenChill store certification level. Information submitted for the certification of individual stores is compared to these set criteria for each certification level. The certification of a store provides the opportunity for broad recognition within the supermarket industry and with the store’s customers.
