These estimates include the start-up
burden and attendant costs, such as
determining compliance obligations.
However, non-GLBA entities will give
notice only once during the clearance
period ahead. Thus, averaged over that
three-year period, the estimated annual
burden for non-GLBA entities is
1,089,000 hours and $30,749,000 in
labor costs, rounded.7
Entities that are subject to the
Commission’s GLBA privacy notice
regulation already provide privacy
notices to their customers.8 Because the
FACT Act and the proposed Rule
contemplate that the new affiliate
marketing notice can be included in the
GLBA notices, the burden on GLBA
regulated entities would be greatly
reduced. Accordingly, the GLBA entities
would incur 6 hours of burden during
the first year of the clearance period,
comprised of a projected 5 hours of
managerial time and 1 hour of technical
time to execute the notice, given that the
proposed Rule provides a model.9 Staff
also estimates that 3,350 GLBA entities
under the FTC’s jurisdiction would be
affected, so that the total burden for
GLBA entities during the first year of
the clearance period would approximate
20,000 hours and $716,000 in associated
labor costs.10 Allowing for increased
familiarity with procedure, the
paperwork burden in ensuing years
would decline, with GLBA entities each
incurring an estimated 4 hours of
annual burden (3 hours of managerial
time and 1 hour of technical time)
during the remaining two years of the
clearance, amounting to 13,400 hours
and $472,000 in labor costs in each of
the ensuing two years. Thus, averaged
over the three-year clearance period, the
estimated annual burden for GLBA
entities is 15,600 hours and $553,000 in
labor costs.
Cumulatively for both GLBA and nonGLBA entities, the average annual
burden over the prospective three-year
clearance period, rounded, is
approximately 1,105,000 burden hours
hours of clerical labor at $14.44 per hour—a
combined $371.27—multiplied by 1.06426 (a
combined $395.13)—for the estimated 233,400+
non-GLBA business families subject to the proposed
Rule.
7 3,268,000 hours ÷ 3 = 1,089,000; $92,247,000 ÷
3 = $30,749,000.
8 Financial institutions must provide a privacy
notice at the time the customer relationship is
established and then annually so long as the
relationship continues. Staff’s estimates assume that
the affiliate marketing opt-out will be incorporated
in the institution’s initial and annual notices.
9 As stated above, no clerical time is included in
the estimate because the notice likely would be
combined with existing GLBA notices.

($29.80 × 1 hour)] × 1.06426 wage multiplier (see
note 6).

and $31,302,000 in labor costs, rounded.
GLBA entities are already providing
notices to their customers so there are
no new capital or non-labor costs, as
this notice may be consolidated into
their current notices. For non-GLBA
entities, the rule provides for simple
and concise model forms that
institutions may use to comply. Thus,
any capital or non-labor costs associated
with compliance for these entities are
negligible.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Office of Research Integrity (ORI)
and the Assistant Secretary for Health
have taken final action in the following
case:
Kartik Prabhakaran, University of
Pittsburgh: Based on the report of an
inquiry conducted by the University of
Pittsburgh (UP), extensive oral and
written admissions by the Respondent,
and additional analysis conducted by
the Office of Research Integrity (ORI)
during its oversight review, the U.S.
Public Health Service (PHS) found that
Mr. Kartik Prabhakaran, former graduate
student in the joint M.D./Ph.D. program
at UP, engaged in research misconduct
while supported by National Institutes
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS), National Institutes of Health
(NIH), grant F30 NS50905–01 and
National Eye Institute (NEI), NIH, grants
5 R01 EY005945, 5 P30 EY008098, and
5 R01 EY015291.
Specifically, Mr. Prabhakaran falsified
and fabricated data that was included in
a PowerPoint presentation and in a
paper published in Immunity
(Immunity 23:515–525, November
2005). Mr. Prabhakaran’s research
misconduct occurred while he was a
student in the M.D./Ph.D. program for
UP’s School of Medicine. He is no
longer in UP’s Ph.D. program but is still
enrolled in its M.D. program in the
School of Medicine. The Immunity
publication has been retracted
(Immunity 24:657, May 2006).
Mr. Prabhakaran has entered into a
Voluntary Exclusion Agreement in
which he has voluntarily agreed, for a

period of four (4) years, beginning on
March 15, 2007:
(1) To exclude himself from serving in
any advisory capacity to PHS, including
but not limited to service on any PHS
advisory committee, board, and/or peer
review committee, or as a consultant;
and
(2) That any institution that submits
an application for PHS support for a
research project on which Mr.
Prabhakaran’s participation is proposed,
that uses him in any capacity on PHS
supported research, or that submits a
report of PHS-funded research in which
he is involved must concurrently submit
a plan for supervision of his duties to
the funding agency for approval. The
supervisory plan must be designed to
ensure the scientific integrity of his
research contribution. Mr. Prabhakaran
agreed to ensure that a copy of the
supervisory plan also is submitted to
ORI by the institution. Mr. Prabhakaran
agreed that he will not participate in
any PHS-supported research until such
a supervision plan is submitted to ORI.

Title: Case Plan Requirement, Section
442, 471(a)(16), 475(1) and 475(5)(A) of
the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0980–0140.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting authority to renew an
existing information collection that is
expiring October 31, 2007. The
collection of information for the case
plan requirement is authorized by titles
IV–B, Section 422 (42 U.S.C. 422), and
IV–E, Sections 471 and 475 (42 U.S.C.
471 and 475) of the Social Security Act
(the Act). States must develop State
plans for both Titles IV–B and IV–E that
are approved by the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services. Both plans require that States
maintain a case review system that
periodically reviews case plans

developed for each child receiving
services under the Act.
Title IV–B provides for child welfare
services funding and title IV–E provides
for foster care maintenance payments
for eligible children. Sections 442(b)(2)
and (8)(A)(ii) of the Act require States to
coordinate services and assistance
under Federal programs, including titles
IV–B and IV–E, and to ensure that States
are operating a case review system that
meets the review system that meets the
requirements of section 475(5) of the
Act.
Title IV–E funding, Section 471(a) of
the Act, requires that State plans
provide for the development of a case
plan for each child receiving foster care
maintenance payments and provide for
a case review system that meets the
requirements described in section
475(5)(B) of the Act with respect to each
child.
The case plan is a written document
that provides a narrative description of
the child-specific program of care that
addresses the needs of each child
regarding safety, permanency and wellbeing. Federal regulations at 45 CFR
1356.21(g) and section 475(1) of the Act
delineate the specific information that
should be addressed in the case plan.
ACF neither specifies a recordkeeping
format for the case plan nor requires
submission of the case plan to the
Federal Government. Case plan
information is recorded in a format
developed and maintained by State
child welfare agencies. Case plans are
periodically reviewed under the
purview of State case review systems.
In computing the number of burden
hours for this information collection,
ACF based the annual burden estimates
on States’ experiences in developing
case plans.
Respondents: State title IV–B and title
IV–E Agencies.
