Short Statement: In the ESV Recon, the Commission revises some of the ESV rules that were adopted in the final rulemaking, thereby changing some of the filing requirements when applying for an ESV license. In addition, the costs increased because the fee to apply for Special Temporary Authority ($150) was replaced by the fee to apply for a license ($8,830). As a result, this PRA submission reflects a program change of +151 annual hours and +$134,925 in annual costs.
