produce the indexes and statistical
summaries required by the Rule, and
thus, estimated very low capital or startup costs.
The only additional cost imposed on
IDSMs operating under the Rule that
would not be incurred for other IDSMs
is the annual audit requirement.
According to representatives of each of
the IDSMs currently operating under the
Rule, the vast majority of costs
associated with this requirement are the
fees paid to the auditors and their staffs
to perform the annual audit.
Representatives of the IDSMs estimated
a combined cost of $300,000 for both
IDSMs currently operating under the
Rule
Other non-labor costs: $29,000 in
copying costs. This total is based on
estimated copying costs of 7 cents per
page and several conservative
assumptions. Staff estimates that the
average dispute-related file is 35 pages
long and that a typical annual audit file
is approximately 200 pages in length. As
discussed above, staff assumes that
twenty percent of consumers using an
IDSM currently operating under the
Rule (approximately 4,896 consumers)
request copies of the records relating to
their disputes.
Staff also estimates that a very small
minority of consumers request a copy of
the annual audit. This assumption is
based on (1) the number of consumer
requests actually received by the IDSMs
in the past; and (2) the fact that the
IDSMs’ annual audits are available
online. For example, annual audits are
available on the FTC’s web site, where
consumers may view and or print pages
as needed, at no cost to the IDSM. In
addition, the Better Business Bureau
makes available on its web site the
annual audit of the BBB AUTO LINE.
Therefore, staff conservatively estimates
that only five percent of consumers
using an IDSM covered by the Rule
(approximately 1,224 consumers) will
request a copy of the IDSM’s audit
report.
Thus, the total annual copying cost
for dispute-related files is
approximately $11,995 (35 pages per file
x $.07 per page x 4,896 consumer
requests) and the total annual copying
cost for annual audit reports is
approximately $17,136 (200 pages per
audit report x $.07 per page x 1,224
consumer requests). Accordingly, the
total cost attributed to copying under
the Rule is approximately $29,131 and
the total non-labor cost under the Rule
is approximately $329,131 ($300,000 for

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) has issued FTR
Bulletin 08–02. FTR Bulletin 08–02
informs agencies that certain provisions
of the FTR governing the authorization
of actual subsistence expenses for
official travel (both TDY and relocation)
are temporarily waived as a result of the
Emergency Declaration signed by the
President on October 23, 2007, in
response to wildfires in parts of
California. It is expected that finding
lodging facilities and/or adequate meals
in the affected areas may be difficult,
and distances involved may be great
resulting in increased costs for per diem
expenses. FTR Bulletin 08–02 became
effective on October 24, 2007 and will
remain effective until January 24, 2008,
unless extended or rescinded by GSA.
This bulletin and all FTR bulletins are

SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) has issued
Bulletin B–16 which provides a
deviation for executive agencies to
purchase premium fuel for Government
owned and leased vehicles when lower
grade fuels are not available due to
market shortages in parts of California
affected by wildfires. FMR Bulletin B–
16 became effective on October 24, 2007
and will remain effective until January

Proposed Project
Academic Centers of Excellence on
Youth Violence Prevention Program
Information System—New—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Background and Brief Description
Eight Academic Centers of Excellence
on Youth Violence Prevention (ACEs)
and two Urban Partnerships—Academic
Centers of Excellence on Youth
Violence Prevention (U–PACEs) are
currently funded through CDC to foster
and promote a stable, visible, long term
strategy to address the complex problem
of youth violence. The centers work
with community members and many
educational, justice and social work
partners to develop action plans,
partnerships, and priorities to prevent
youth violence in a local community.
In addition, one ACE Coordinating
Center is funded to initiate, foster, and
support coordinated efforts, including
the development and dissemination of
activities and products in youth
violence research and practice, among
the ACEs, UPACEs, and CDC. It also
aims to facilitate increased collaboration
among organizations working to prevent
youth violence to support the
sustainability of youth violence
prevention programs.
The Academic Centers of Excellence
on Youth Violence Prevention Program
Information System will collect, in
electronic format: (a) Data needed to
measure progress toward, or
achievement of, performance indicators
and other outcomes and (b) information
on Academic Centers of Excellence on
Youth Violence Prevention that is
currently being collected in various
electronic and paper documents. The
clerical staff or Program Managers
(n=11) will complete the majority of the
system. The principal investigators
(n=11) will review the information in
the system and add details related to
study design and outcomes of projects,
as necessary.
An Internet-based information system
will allow CDC to monitor, and report
on, ACE activities more efficiently. Data
reported to CDC through the ACE
information system will be used by CDC
to identify training and technical
assistance needs, monitor compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate the progress
made in achieving center-specific goals,
and obtain information needed to
respond to Congressional and other
inquiries regarding program activities
and effectiveness.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to enter data into the
Information System.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 161.

Proposed Project: Importation of
Etiologic Agents, Hosts, and Vectors of
Human Disease (42 CFR Part 71.54)—
(OMB Control No. 0920–0199)—
Extension—Office of the Director (OD),
CDC. The Foreign Quarantine
Regulations (42 CFR Part 71) set forth
provisions to prevent the introduction,
transmission, and spread of
communicable disease from foreign
countries into the United States.
Subpart F—Importations—contains
provisions for importation of etiologic
agents, hosts, and vectors (42 CFR
71.54), requiring persons that import or
distribute after importation these
materials to obtain a permit issued by
the CDC. This request is for the
information collection requirements
contained in 42 CFR 71.54 for issuance
of permits by CDC to importers or
distributors after importation of
etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of
human disease.
CDC is requesting continued OMB
approval to collect this information
through the use of two separate forms.
On an annual basis, approximately
2,300 laboratory facilities complete
these forms to receive permits issued by

The Application for Permit to Import
or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or
Vectors of Human Disease will be used
by laboratory facilities, such as those
operated by government agencies,
universities, research institutions, and
zoologic exhibitions, and also by
importers of nonhuman primate trophy
materials, such as hunters or
taxidermists, to request permits for the
importation and subsequent distribution
after importation of etiologic agents,
hosts, or vectors of human disease. The
Application for Permit to Import or
Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or
Vectors of Human Disease requests
applicant and sender contact
information; description of material for
importation; facility isolation and
containment information; and personnel
qualifications. Estimated average time to
complete this form is 20 minutes.
