[1] Each facility is one respondent. One respondent may be involved in more than one activity;
however, in order to avoid double-counting, the maximum number of respondents expected to be involved
in the rule activities annually is assumed to be the number of respondents for that year.
[2] Each Director is one respondent.

* Total does not add due to rounding.
