12. Estimated Burden and Costs, Including Overhead, to Respondents

4,435 person-hours (reporting and recordkeeping requirements)

Pricing Manager (3,994 person-hours)

Tariff Publisher (441 person-hours)

The annual salary calculations have been formulated using the Federal Government’s January 2012 salary table (overhead of $20.10 per hour and benefits of 24.23% per year have been added to the basic salary). The salary for the pricing manager was calculated using the salary of a GS 13/5 Senior Transportation Specialist, and the salary for the tariff publisher was calculated using the salary of a GS 6/5 Transportation Specialist.

Formula: Annual salary + (annual salary X benefits rate) = adjusted annual salary/2,080 + overhead = adjusted hourly salary

$100,904 + (100,904 X 24.23%) = $125,353/2,080 = $60.27 + $20.10 = $80.37 = Pricing Manager adjusted hourly salary

$43,046 + (43,046 X 24.23%) = $53,476/2,080 = $25.71 + $20.10 = $45.81 = Tariff Publisher adjusted hourly salary
