Proposed Budget

Section 1804(a)(2)(A)(ii) requires that NOIs include an itemized estimate of the compensation the customer expects to receive. Local 483 significantly modified its budget when it amended its Notice, as shown in the table below.

Itemized Estimated Budget for Local 483

	Hours	Original Rate	Revised Rate	Original Estimate	Revised Estimate
Dennis Zukowski	150	$32	$150	$4,800	$22,500
Roy Bozarth	150	$32	$150	$4,800	$22,500
Consulting Expenses				$2,000	$20,000
Other				$4,000	$4,000
Total				$15,600	$69,000

Local 483 has not made a showing to justify the hourly rates for Zukowski or Bozarth, nor for the costs of consultants, and so we put it on notice that any request for compensation must address the reasonableness of all costs. The presentation of their estimate should in no way whatsoever be construed as a finding on its reasonableness of scope, hourly compensation rates, or recoverability of the various costs.
