According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly wage (weighted) for a “Compliance Officer” is $81.72 . This was calculated by multiplying the average hourly wage ($40.86) by 2 to account for overhead costs. Therefore, DDTC estimates the annual hour-cost burden to applicants to be $36,774 (450 annual burden hours x $81.72).
