agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to
a third party. 44 U.S.C. 3502(3), 5 CFR
1320.3(c). As required by section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the FTC is
providing this opportunity for public
comment before requesting that OMB
extend the existing paperwork clearance
for the Funeral Rule, 16 CFR part 453
(OMB Control Number 3084–0025); the
COPPA Rule, 16 CFR part 312 (OMB
Control Number 3084–0117); and the
GLBA Rule, 16 CFR part 313 (OMB
Control Number 3084–0121).
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
1. The Funeral Rule, 16 CFR Part 453
(OMB Control Number 3084–0025)
The Funeral Rule ensures that
consumers who are purchasing funeral
goods and services have accurate
information about the terms and
conditions (especially prices) for such
goods and services. The Rule requires
that funeral providers disclose this
information to consumers and maintain
records to facilitate enforcement of the
Rule. The PRA clearance for the Funeral
Rule was scheduled to expire on March
31, 2005. On February 7, 2005, the OMB
granted the FTC’s request for a shortterm extension to June 30, 2005, to
allow for this opportunity for public
comment.
The estimated burden associated with
the collection of information required
by the Rule is 21,500 hours for
recordkeeping, 104,545 hours for
disclosures, and 43,000 hours for
training, for a total of 169,000 hours
(rounded to the nearest thousand). This
estimate is based on the number of
funeral providers (approximately
21,500),2 the number of funerals
2 The estimated number of funeral providers is

Directors Association (‘‘NFDA’’) Web site (https://
