Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 11, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Therefore, we calculated the shipping cost for two 0.5-inch binders.65 The two 0.5-inch binders with 50 pages each have a total estimated weight of 2.8
pounds, for a total of 5.6 pounds for a package of two. Based on a 6-pound package, the average cost for these shipping services was $10.19.66 In the NPRM, we estimated the cost at $10.11.67
Currently, facilities send back two copies of the revised version of the Operations Manual or Emergency Manual when the COTP determines that the manual is inadequate. Under the final rule, only one copy of the document must be sent back to the COTP, in either print or electronic format.
We calculated the shipping costs for mailing a single 0.5-inch Operations Manual or Emergency Manual. We estimated that a single 0.5-inch manual weighs 2.8 pounds. For mailing purposes, UPS and FedEx charge the cost associated with a 3-pound item.
The average cost of these mailing services is $9.25.68 In the NPRM, we estimated the cost at $9.56.69

With respect to shipping costs associated with amendments, we made many of the same assumptions as for shipping and handling 0.5-inch manuals. For example, we assumed that UPS or FedEx ground shipping is the selected service. As either one or two 5page amendments weigh less than 1
pound, the shipping cost is the same whether one or two are mailed together.
The cost is $8.23 for both UPS and FedEx for a mean of $8.23.70 In the NPRM, we estimated the associated cost for shipping one or two amendments at $8.88.71
Additionally, facilities must handle these manuals as part of the shipping process. As stated previously, labor costs differ between LNG/LHG facilities and MTR facilities. For LNG/LHG
facilities, the loaded hourly labor rate is $70.65, and for MTR facilities it is $106.82. We estimated the time required to assemble manuals to be 5 minutes 0.08 hours,72 rounded to the closest whole minute, for assembling either one manual or two.73 From this, we estimated labor time for assembling manuals to mail to the COTP to cost
$5.65 74 for LNG/LHG facilities and $8.55 for MTR facilities.75 In the NPRM, the associated numbers were $5.27 for LNG/LHG facilities and $8.00 for MTR
facilities.76
Labor handling costs for amendments are also slightly different due to the labor cost differences between LNG/
LHG and MTR facilities. We estimated that handling a package that contains either one or two 5-page amendments, rounded to the nearest whole minute, takes 4 minutes 0.07 hours, regardless of facility type. As a result, we estimated labor handling costs for packages that hold one or two amendments to be $4.95 77 for LNG/LHG
facilities and $7.48 for MTR facilities.78
In the NPRM, the associated figures were $4.61 for LGN/LHG facilities and $7.00 for MTR facilities.79
The shipping and handling costs for all types of documents by both LNG/
LHG facilities and MTR facilities are summarized in table 9. Table 9 includes not only these costs for the final rule but also the NPRM. The NPRM numbers are in parentheses immediately beneath the final rule figures.

Operations Manuals and Emergency Manuals one 0.5-inch binder for LNG/LHG facilities.

facilities.

65 We estimated the weight of an empty 0.5-inch binder at 13 ounces, based on the mean weight of the same 5 binders used to determine the mean cost of 0.5-inch binders. For the web pages for those binders, where weight data was available, the mean was estimated. The web pages were as follows: 1

72 This includes time to obtain a box, package up the manual or manuals, complete the required mailing paperwork, and place it into the office out mailbox.
73 Based on time samples we ran, we estimated that 4.8 minutes were needed to remove the paper from the copier, put it in an envelope, fill out the documentation and place it in the office out mailbox for one manual. To package and complete 2 manuals, we estimated that 5.1 minutes will be required. Rounding both to 5 minutes, this totals an estimated 0.08 hours.
74 $70.65 multiplied by 0.08 equals $5.65.
75 $106.82 multiplied by 0.08 equals $8.55.
76 See table 8 of the NPRM.
77 0.07 multiplied by $70.65 equals $4.95.
78 0.07 multiplied by $106.82 equals $7.48.
