business, and financial.” For Clerical, used “Office
and administrative support.”

The overhead loading factor is from Rice, Cody 2002. "Wage
Rates for Economic Analyses of the Toxics Release Inventory
Program,” Analytical Support Branch, Environmental Analysis
Division, Office of Environmental Information, U.S. EPA, June 10,
2002.
|
(6)
The loaded hourly rate = Wages & Salaries + (Wages &
Salaries * Benefits Loading Factor) + (Wages & Salaries *
Overhead Loading Factor)
|
(7)
The geoscientist rate is from the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists’ (AAPG’s) 2013 annual salary
survey. Assuming 15-19 years of experience, the hourly rate is
$86.15 (based on an annual salary of $179,200). See
http://www.aapg.org/publications/news/explorer/details/articleid/8464/salaries-rise-and-experience-really-pays.
A loading factor of 1.6 was applied, as suggested by EPA’s
2009 ICR Handbook, to account for overhead and benefits.
