aIt is assumed that the majority of reapplications and additional information submissions are reviewed by a contractor. It is further assumed that the salary level of a contractor working on the 301(h) program is 15 percent higher than that of a GS-9, Step 10, $65,531 or $75,361/year. Thus, based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average salary of a contractor is $36.11/hour. Assuming 100 percent overhead costs for the private sector, the labor cost for contractors is $72.22. (Hourly rate based on 2009 DC-B salary rate table.)
bIt is assumed that the salary level of the typical government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-9, Step 10 salary, or $65,531/year. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a Federal employee is $31.40/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for Federal employees is $34.54/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2009 DC-B salary rate table.)
NOTE: Numbers may not add due to rounding.

aIt is assumed that much of the reapplication and additional information is prepared by a contractor with specialized expertise and equipment. It is further assumed that the salary level of a contractor working on the 301(h) program is 15 percent higher than that of a GS-9, Step 10, $65,531, or $75,361/year. Thus, based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a contractor is $36.11/hour. Assuming 100 percent overhead costs for the private sector, the labor cost for contractors is $72.22/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2009 DC-B salary rate table.)
bIt is assumed that the salary level of a typical local government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-5, Step 4, or $36,596. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a local employee is $17.54/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for local government employees is $19.29/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2009 DC-B salary rate table.)
cIt is assumed that the salary level of a typical State government employee working on the 301(h) program is a GS-9, Step 1, or $50,408/year. Based on 2,080 working hours/year, the average hourly salary of a State government employee is $24.15/hour. Assuming 10 percent overhead costs, the labor cost for State government employees is $26.57/hour. (Hourly rate based on 2009 DC-B salary rate table.)
