    \4\ The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) provided in 
this section is based on the salary figures for May 2017 posted by 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities sector (available 
at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits May 
2017 (available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm):
    Legal (Occupation Code: 23-0000): $143.68.
    Consulting (Occupation Code: 54-1600): $89.00.
    Management Analyst (Occupation Code: 13-1111): $63.49.
    Office and Administrative Support (Occupation Code: 43-000): 
$40.89.
    Electrical Engineer (Occupation Code: 17-2071): $68.12.
    Information Security Analyst (Occupation Code: 15-1122): $66.34.
    File Clerk (Occupation Code: 43-4071): $32.74.
    The skill sets are assumed to contribute equally, so the hourly 
cost is an average [($143.68 + $89.00 + $63.49 + $40.89 + $68.12 + 
$66.34 + 32.74) / 7 = $72.04]. The figure is rounded to $72.00 per 
hour.
