When consultants were hired, they were assigned from
50 per cent to 100 per cent of the task of preparing the
report. In the majority of the cases, the full task of
preparing the report was assigned to the consultants. A
distribution of the percentages is shown in Table XI.

Eleven of the twelve responding companies did not give
an estimate of the administrative costs required to file the
Environmental Protection Agency's assessment report. The
one company who responded estimated its costs at $1,000,000
over a two-year period.
The estimated costs of compliance with federal and state
environmental laws in 1976 and 1980 as given by individual
companies are shown in Table XII. Of the companies that were
able to estimate, there was a substantial jump in the estimate
for 1980 over the estimate for 1976. This could be an indi-
cation that companies are expecting more stringent requirements
to be legislated.
