[2] Numbers are based on the amount of time and personnel are required to process a simple contract (see [3]) vs a complicated contract (see [4]). Estimates are 95% of contracts and 5% of contracts, respectively.
[3] It is estimated that an information assistant at the front desk can process the smaller simple contracts (existing pits/no excavations). It takes 15 minutes for the information assistant to process an application. An estimated 95% of contracts fall into this category.
[4] For the remaining applications, large or complex operations, a geologist or minerals administrator processes the applications. Estimates are that about 5 percent of all applications are in this category. It can take from 1 day to several weeks to process these applications depending upon the complexity of the site and information needs. The estimated average is that each of these applications requires approximately 24 hours for a minerals administrator or geologist to process and includes about 24 hours of specialists (e.g. archaeologists and biologists). Vehicle includes $.47/mile from R-1 fleet report for 4x4 SUV; estimated 50 miles per these applications. An hour for a GS13 District Ranger is estimated for each of these applications.
[5] Cost per application is calculated by dividing the total costs (cell H9) by the total number of applications (2617)
