These various occupational categories’ wage figures are averaged as follows: $80.62/hour + $74.16/hour + $160.24/hour + $112.88/hour) ÷ 4 = $106.975/hour ($106.98 rounded). The resulting wage figure is rounded to $106.98/hour for use in calculating wage figures in the Final Rule in Docket No. RD24–3–000. 14 This includes the record retention costs for the one-time and the on-going reporting documents.
