As such, asreflected in the attached Form 509, Statement of Estimated Fees, your finalcost is estimated to be 22 hours x 88.29 per hour = $1,942.38, which accountsfor the professional level search time at the GS14, Step 7 level, and 15 minutesx 1.76 per min = $26.40, which accounts for the SES/Commission rate, totaling$1,968.78 and as explained to you in the “Explanation of Fees” page attachmentto the January 2, 2024 acknowledgment letter we sent you, and as requiredpursuant to 10 C.F.R. 9.37.
