Table Endnotes
1 NA indicates that the 2017 NPDES Programmatic ICR did not account for this burden item.
2 In the 2017 NPDES Program ICR, EPA assumed the average hourly rate in the private sector is $57.42. This was determined based on the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Total Compensation for Management, professional, and related; Table 5. Employer costs per hour worked for employee compensation and costs as a percent of total compensation: Private industry workers, by major occupational group and bargaining unit status, June 2016.
