Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 94 / Monday, May 17, 2010 / Notices
hours burden before adjustments is
33,719 hours [(841 non-index filings x
39 hours) + (20 index filings x 2 hours)
+ (22 acquiring person non-index filings
requiring more precise valuation6 x 40
hours)].
As in the past, however, staff further
estimates that half of those submitting
non-index filings will incorporate Item
4(a) and Item 4(b) documents by
reference to an Internet link, and that
doing so will reduce individual burden
by one hour. Accordingly, the
cumulative reduction to the above total
would be 421 hours (841 non-index
filings x c ≈421, multiplied by 1 hour),
resulting in net estimated burden for
fiscal year 2010 of 33,298 hours.
This estimate is conservative. In
estimating PRA burden, staff considered
‘‘the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency.’’ 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(1). This
includes ‘‘developing, acquiring,
installing, and utilizing technology and
systems for the purpose of disclosing
and providing information.’’ 5 CFR
1320.3(b)(1)(iv). Although not expressly
stated in the OMB definitions regulation
implementing the PRA, the definition of
burden arguably includes upgrading and
maintaining computer and other
systems used to comply with a rule’s
requirements. Conversely, to the extent
that these systems are customarily used
in the ordinary course of business
independent of the Rule, their
associated upkeep would fall outside
the realm of PRA ‘‘burden.’’ See 5 CFR
1320.3(b)(2).
Industry has been subject to the basic
provisions of the HSR Rules since 1978.
Thus, businesses have had several years
(and some have had decades) to
integrate compliance systems into their
business procedures. Accordingly, most
companies now maintain records and
provide updated order information of
the kind required by the HSR Rules in
their ordinary course of business.
Nevertheless, staff conservatively
assumes that the time devoted to
compliance with the Rule by existing
and new companies remains unchanged
from its preceding estimate.
Estimated labor costs: $15,317,080
Using the burden hours estimated
above and applying an estimated
average of $460/hour for executive and
attorney wages,7 staff estimates that the
total labor cost associated with the HSR
Rules and the Notification and Report
Form is approximately $15,317,080
(33,298 hours x $460/hour).
Estimated annual non-labor cost
burden: $0 or minimal
The applicable requirements impose
minimal start-up costs, as businesses
subject to the HSR Rules generally have
or obtain necessary equipment for other
business purposes. Staff believes that
the above requirements necessitate
ongoing, regular training so that covered
entities stay current and have a clear
understanding of federal mandates, but
that this would be a small portion of
and subsumed within the ordinary
training that employees receive apart
from that associated with the
information collected under the HSR
Rules and the corresponding
Notification and Report Form.

Title: Application Requirements for
the LIHEAP and Detailed Model Plan.
OMB No.: 0970–0075.
Description: States, including the
District of Columbia, Tribes, tribal
organizations and territories applying
for LIHEAP block grant funds must
submit an annual application (Model
Plan) that meets the LIHEAP statutory
and regulatory requirements prior to
receiving Federal funds. A detailed
application must be submitted every 3
years. Abbreviated applications may be
submitted in alternate years. There have
been no changes in the Model Plan
since the approval of the addition of the
LIHEAP Program Integrity Assessment
and Plan by the Office of Management
and Budget earlier this year.
Presidential Executive Order 13520,
reducing Improper Payments and
Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs,
issued in November 2009, encourages
Federal agencies to take deliberate and
immediate action to eliminate fraud and
improper payments. As part of the
review of programs subsequent to this
executive order, HHS has determined
that additional information from each
administering agency is necessary to
assess grantee measures that are in place
to prevent, detect or address waste,
fraud and abuse in LIHEAP programs.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal
Governments.

In compliance with the requirements
of section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and
transactions involving an acquisition of 50% or
more of an entity’s assets or voting securities. The
rationale for this exclusion is that the remainder, 38
transactions, reflects incremental acquisitions that
fell between notification and filing fee thresholds
and thus would likely need more precise valuation
to determine which side of a threshold the
transaction falls upon. The resulting fiscal year
2009 total, 38, is then used to project the fiscal year
2010 volume of such transactions. To do this, we
first calculated the proportion this net figure
represents in relation to the total fiscal year 2009
non-index transactions: 38 ÷ 716 = 5.3%.
This percentage is then applied to the projected
number of fiscal year 2010 non-index transactions
in order to estimate the proportion of them that will
require more precise valuation. Assuming that half
the projected number of fiscal year 2010 non-index
filings will constitute the number of associated
transactions, that would result in approximately
421 non-index transactions (841 ÷ 2). To this we
then carry over and apply the above 5.3%
apportionment to arrive at an estimate of 22 nonindex transactions in fiscal year 2010 that will
require more precise measurement.
6 Only the acquiring person is subject to a filing
fee; thus, this specific focus.
7 The FTC’s previous estimate of $425 per hour
has been increased by the Social Security COLA
percentage for fiscal years 2007 - fiscal year 2009
(fiscal year 2007(2.3%), fiscal year 2008 (5.8%)),
fiscal year 2009 (0%)).
