readily available way of identifying ‘‘redisputed’’ items, then neither would the
contractor.
More generally, staff sees no basis for
restricting the study to the reports of
consumers who have never disputed
any item prior to the study. It is possible
that the accuracy of credit reports may
differ based on items that have, or have
not been, disputed. In light of this, staff
plans to include a question in the study
about whether consumers have disputed
any item in one of their credit reports
at an earlier time, and if so, to briefly
indicate when and what. But a currently
alleged error need not be related to a
prior dispute, and we do not see any
justification for excluding all consumers
who have disputed some item(s) in the
past. Staff adds that an important
element of both the initial and proposed
pilot study is that any contractor must
have the expertise to evaluate alleged
errors and to assess whether a dispute
would be material to creditworthiness.
In this context, it is very unlikely that
frivolous or immaterial disputes would
go forward.
2. Estimated Hours Burden
Consumer participation in the followup pilot study would involve an initial
screening and any subsequent time
spent by participants to understand,
review, and if deemed necessary, to
dispute information in their credit
reports. The FTC staff estimates that up
to 800 consumers may need to be
screened through telephone interviews
to obtain 120 participants, and that a
screening interview may last up to 10
minutes, yielding a total of
approximately 133 hours (800 screening
interviews × 1/6 hour per contact).
With respect to the hours spent by
study participants, in some cases the
relative simplicity of a credit report may
render little need for review and the
consumer’s participation may only be
an hour. For reports that involve
difficulties, it may require a number of
hours for the participant to be educated
about the report and to resolve any
disputed items. For items that are
disputed, the participant must submit a
dispute form, identify the nature of the
problem, present verification from the
consumer’s own records to the extent
possible, and perhaps submit further
information. As was true of the initial
study, FTC staff again estimates the
participants’ time for reviewing their
credit reports at an average of 5 hours
per participant, resulting in a total of
600 hours (5 hours × 120 participants).24
24 This estimate is given for the purpose of
calculating burden under the PRA. Information
contained in the contractor’s report regarding the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Total consumer burden hours are thus
approximately 750 hours (derived as
133 screening hours plus 600
participant hours, further rounding
upwards to the nearest 50 hours).
3. Estimated Cost Burden
The cost per participant should be
negligible. Participation is voluntary,
and will not require any start-up,
capital, or labor expenditures by study
participants. As with the initial study,
participants will not pay for their credit
reports or credit scores.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) is providing
notice of an update to the record system
Personnel Security Files (GSA/HRO–

personnel security. The update ensures
that the system of records meets the
requirements of Homeland Security
Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD–12) and
that individuals be fully informed about
collection of their personal information.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The system of records
will become effective without further
notice on March 8, 2007 unless
comments received on or before that
date result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES:
To comply
with new requirements of Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 12
(HSPD–12), GSA updated its personnel
security system. This notice explains
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
initial study may indicate a somewhat lower
estimate of the average time spent by the 30
participants, but it would not render a noticeably
different result for the overall consumer burden. In
an effort not to underestimate the time spent by
additional study participants, FTC staff has retained
the estimate used for the initial study.
