However, EPA shall clarify to OIRA the total burden hours associated with the collection -- whether by the affected entity or their contractor, and, as appropriate, modify the burden estimate with a Change Worksheet. OIRA is concerned that EPA may have inappropriately attributed some burden that may be carried out by contractors as part of capital cost only, and not as part of the burden estimat e (in hours). All burden -- whether bourne by the affected entities or their contractors, shall be included as part of the burden hours. All capital costs (i.e. for equipment and materials ) whether acquired by the affected entitiy or their contractors, shall be monetized and included in capital costs.
