However, the actual cost to each respondent varies due to the type of respondent (hospital versus CPSC contractor), size of hospital, and regional differences in wages and overhead. Therefore, the actual annual cost for any given respondent may vary between $2,600 at a small rural hospital and $75,000 at a large metropolitan hospital which are compensated by the CPSC. The Commission staff also obtains information about incidents involving consumer products from approximately 17,415 persons annually. The staff conducts face-to-face interviews at incident sites with approximately 915 persons each year. On average, an onsite interview takes approximately 5 hours. The staff will also conduct approximately 3,500 in-depth investigations by telephone. Each indepth telephone investigation requires approximately 20 minutes. Additionally, the Commission’s hotline staff interviews approximately 4,000 persons each year about incidents involving selected consumer products. These interviews take an average of 10 minutes each. Each year, the Commission also receives information from about 9,000 persons who complete forms requesting information about product-related incidents or injuries. These forms appear on the Commission’s Internet Web site, http:www.cpsc.gov, and are printed in the Consumer Product Safety Review and other Commission publications. The staff estimates that completion of a form takes about 12 minutes. The Commission staff estimates that this collection of information imposes a total annual burden of 7,724 hours on all respondents: 4,118 hours for face-toface interviews; 1,155 hours for in-depth telephone interviews; 661 hours for responses to Hotline interviews; and 1,790 hours for completion of written forms. The Commission staff estimates the value of the time of respondents to this collection of information at $29.31 per hour (Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2009, Total Compensation, All workers). At this valuation, the estimated annual cost to the public of this information collection will be approximately $226,390. The annual cost to the Federal government for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately $6.4 million per year. This estimate includes $1.5 million in compensation to NEISS respondents. The estimate also includes approximately $4.9 million for 354 professional staff months to oversee NEISS operation, prepare VerDate Nov<24>2008 20:14 Nov 30, 2009 Jkt 220001 questionnaires, interviewer guidelines, and other instruments and instructions used to collect the information, conduct face-to-face and telephone interviews; and evaluate responses obtained from interviews and completed forms. Each staff month is estimated to cost the Commission approximately $13,859. This is based on an average wage rate of $55.97 (the equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5 employee) with an addition 30 percent added for benefits (Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2009, percentage total benefits for all civilian management, professional, and related employees). C. Request for Comments The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics: • Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission’s functions, including whether the information would have practical utility; • Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate; • Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and • Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
