Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no programmatic changes. The reduction in burden hours is to correct a calculation. ETA is standardizing the applicable benefits factor that applies for its ICs. The benefits factor is determined by using the most recent BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) by taking the total compensation for a worker population and dividing it by the wages and salary costs for a worker population. BLS provides three ECEC rates based on the worker population: (1) civilian workers; (2) private sector workers; and (3) state and local (i.e., certain public sector) workers. OFLC has determined that the private sector worker ECEC is correct, as the burdens listed in A.12 being performed by HR Specialists are almost exclusively performed by employers in the private sector. Accordingly, as it relates to this FRN, the ECEC has been adjusted in our calculations to reduce the factor from 1.45 to 1.42, resulting in slightly lower hourly wage rate for each burden activity.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $0
