Download as PDF 68898 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2007 / Notices Note.—Above estimates include questionnaires for specific investigations where the mailing list consists of fewer than 10 firms. In such instances the majority or all firms within the industry under investigation may be said to receive questionnaires. Anticipated caseload.—Derived from current Commission budget estimates. Number of respondents per case.—Defined as the number of firms which return completed questionnaires to the Commission. Current estimates of ‘‘number of respondents per case’’ for the questionnaires were derived from the number of respondents to Commission questionnaires issued under the generic clearances previously provided to the Commission. Responding firm burden.—Defined as the time required by the firm which received the questionnaire to review instructions, search data sources, and complete and review its response. Commission questionnaires do not impose the burden of developing, acquiring, installing and utilizing technology and systems, nor require adjusting existing methodology or training personnel. Current estimates of ‘‘responding firm burden’’ for the questionnaires were derived from the actual burden reported by firms that responded to Commission questionnaires issued under the generic clearances previously provided to the Commission. Outside review burden.—Time devoted by outside legal and financial advisors to reviewing questionnaires completed by the responding firms who are their clients prior to submitting them to the Commission. Third-party disclosure burden.—Time required for outside legal advisors to serve their clients’ questionnaires on other parties to the investigation or review under an administrative protective order. (5) Minimization of Burden DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Commission periodically reviews its investigative processes, including data collection, to reduce the information burden. Questionnaires clearly state that estimates are acceptable for certain items. They are designed in part with check-in type formats to simplify the response. The reporting burden for smaller firms is reduced in that the sections of the questionnaire that are applicable to their operations are typically more limited. Requests by parties to expand the data collection or add items to the questionnaire for specific investigations may not be accepted if the Commission believes such requests will increase the response burden while not substantially adding to the investigative record. The Commission’s collection of data through its questionnaires does not currently involve the interactive use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. At this time, completed questionnaires are usually returned to the Commission in paper form, although there are several options available for filing electronically. Further, the information provided in response to its notices of institution for the five-year sunset reviews is typically submitted in document form directly to the Office of the Secretary although it may be submitted to the Commission’s Electronic Data Information System (EDIS) and Electronic Docket.
