Survey	No. of Respondents	Participation Time	Burden	Annual Burden Cost
CISA Partner Satisfaction Survey	10,000	0.11667 hours (7 minutes)	1167 hours/ year	$39,771

The above Average Hourly Wage Rate is the May 2017 Bureau of Labor Statistics average wage for “All Occupations” of $24.34 times the wage rate benefit multiplier of 1.4 (to account for fringe benefits) equaling $34.08. The selection of “All Occupations” (for example) was chosen as the expected respondents for this collection could be expected to be from any occupation.

FEDERAL COST: The estimated annual cost to the Federal government is $1,844.75

It is estimated that 1 government employee at a GS level 15, Step 1 will spending approximately 1% of their time (2080 annual working hours x 1% = 20.8 hours) annually to review, analyze, and assimilate survey responses.

Using the FY17 (Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia) GS pay scale, the fully-loaded wage rate for a GS15, Step 1 is $ 88.69 ($ 131,767 annual salary/2080 = $63.35 base wage rate x 1.4 benefit multiplier = $ 88.69 fully-loaded wage rate).

The annual government cost is estimated to be $ 1,844.75 (20.8 hours annually x $88.69 = $ 1,844.75).
