3 The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses
the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, June
2021, for positions involved in the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements. These figures include
salary (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_
22.htm) and benefits https://www.bls.gov/
news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are:
Electrical Engineer (Occupation Code: 17–2071;
$72.15/hour)
Management Analyst (Occupation Code: 13–1111;
$68.39/hour)
Accounting (Occupation Code: 13–2011; $57.41/
hours)
Computer and Mathematical (Occupation Code:
15–0000; $65.73/hour)
Legal (Occupation Code: 23–0000; $142.25/hour)
The average hourly cost (salary plus benefits) is
calculated weighting each of the previously
mentioned wage categories as follows: $72.15/hour
(0.4) + $68.39/hour (0.2) + $57.41/hour (0.1) +
$65.73/hour (0.1) + $142.25/hour (0.2) = $83.304/
hour. The Commission rounds this figure to $83/
hour.
4 This figure was calculated by dividing the total
number of responses (1.595) by the total number of
respondents (47). The resulting figure was then
rounded to the nearest thousandth place.

k. Description of Request: The
licensee requests a temporary variance
from the its River Flow Restoration Plan
(Plan), required by Article 420 of the
project license and approved by the
Commission on February 7, 2014. The
proposed variance would occur from
March 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 in
support of the initial phase of a spill
gate replacement project at Morony
Dam. The replacement project in its
entirety entails replacing the dam’s nine
radial spill gates with vertical slide
gates over a three-year period. During
the proposed variance period, the
licensee would replace spill gates 4–7,
and would therefore be unable to use
them to restore flows during full plant
trips, as required by the Plan. The
licensee proposes to use a combination
of spill gates 1–3 for flow restoration
during any full plant trips while spill
gates 4–7 are out of service. Consistent
with the Plan, during the variance
period, the licensee will provide a 7minute long warning siren to alert the
public that the spill gates are opening
