Short Statement:
Please note that this information collection reduces burden hours by 5,300. However, there is an associated estimated cost of $2,337,799. This appears as a change due to agency discretion. The last information collection ICR submitted did not include the associated costs - this ROCIS ICR submission presents costs that did not appear before. The estimated costs are calculated as follows: 1) Telephonic Notification 570 telephonic reports requiring 0.5 hours of preparation = 285 burden hours 285 hours x $64.75 = $18,454 2) Incident Reports for Gas 210 estimated incidents per year requiring incident form completion. Time to complete forms is 6 hours. 210 incident reports x 6 hours =1,260 burden hours 1,260 hours x $64.75 = $81,585 3) Annual Reports for Gas Based on past reporting, there have been 2,880 annual reports submitted by gas operators. The reports require 12 hours to complete. 2,880 annual reports x 12 hours = 34,560 burden hours. 34,560 hours x $64.75 = $2,237,760 Total Burden Hours = 36,105 (285 hours (telephonic) + 1,260 hours (incident) + 34,560 hours (annual)) Total Cost = $2,337,799 ($18,454 (telephonic) + $81,585 (incident) + $2,237,760 (annual))
