Cost of Masking This regulation also requires mask wearing for all adults and children age 2 and older in certain in-person Head Start settings. As
an intermediate step, we estimate the total inperson days per week for staff, children, and volunteers. We replicate the in-person days per week for staff and children using the estimates reported in Table 3, but we reduce the estimate for children by 14% to account for children younger than age 2 that are not subject to the requirement. To estimate the in-person days per week for volunteers, we assume they are evenly distributed across center by operating status, such that 390,426
are associated with fully in-person centers, and 495,0975 are associated with centers in hybrid operating status. For purposes of this calculation, we assume that volunteers associated with in-person centers will volunteer in person an average of once per week, and that volunteers at centers in hybrid operating status will volunteer in person an average of once every other week.
We expect that the 175,476 combined volunteers associated with closed or virtual/
remote centers will not volunteer in-person.

The costs related to vaccination reflect an estimate of the value of time, $20.55 per hour, used elsewhere in this analysis. In other cases where this value of time is applied, we have also performed a sensitivity analysis that applies a higher value of time of $25.10. Performing an identical sensitivity analysis for these costs yields a value of time per person to get vaccinated of about $100.
This higher value of time results in total costs of between $8.4 million and $12.6 million, with a central estimate of $10.5 million, which is an increase of between $0.8 million and $1.3 million. Regardless of the chosen value of time, the costs in Table 18 may be underestimated, since they do not include costs associated with adverse events reported after COVID19 vaccination.136

These assumptions and data indicate that Head Start volunteers will average 637,975
in-person days per week.
We assume that each staff, child, and volunteer will use one mask per day, and adopt an estimate of the cost per surgical mask of $0.14.137 We anticipate that staff, children, and volunteers will combine for a total of 3,693,426 masks per week, with the total weekly cost of these masks of $517,080.
We anticipate that a substantial portion of these individuals would wear masks when in-person at Head Start programs without this requirement, and adopt an estimate of 25% for the share of these costs that are attributable to the interim final rule. Finally, we calculate that the masking requirement will be effective for the entire time horizon of this analysis. Table 19 reports the costs of masking that are attributable to the interim final rule.
