Sheet 1: READ ME

Draft Calcs

This sheet was derived from reviewing the first FRN and supporting statement associated with the 2021 ICR

Draft Table

This came directly from the supporting statement

Revised Calcs

This sheet adds Florida into the calculations, bumping up annual report and permit review to 5 states; no impact on program assumption (static at 2 new states)

Revised Table

Updated off revised calcs

Florida Summary

This is really a summary of what each state's burdens are based on MI and NJ input, it's the impact that adding Florida had to our burden estimates.
