Scott,

I'm writing the response to comments document for the AETB and PGVP
proposed rule.  There are a number of comments related to cost.  It
would help me a lot if you could provide a cost estimate for each of the
following, which is a direct quote from a commenter:

 

"(1) the cost of staff time to develop and implement the quality manual
required by the ASTM practice, including document control procedures,
hiring of additional personnel, performance of annual audits, and
documentation of corrective action;

 

(2) application fees and the cost of preparing applications for
accreditation and/or QI qualification;

 

(3) the cost of QI exams, including tuition for preparatory courses,
exam fees, and travel expenses;

 

(4) any new costs associated with preparation of test plans and reports
to comply with the specific criteria in the practice; and

 

(5) cost of required records storage and backup. While the costs may
turn out to be reasonable and EPA may be of the view that AETBs already
should be operating in a manner consistent with the ASTM practice, that
view is not a justification for excluding those costs from the ICR."

Thanks
