Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 180 / Friday, September 17, 2010 / Notices
Consumer Focus Groups—(OMB
Control Number 3041–0136–Extension).
The Commission is authorized, under
section 5(a) of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (‘‘CPSA’’), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a),
to collect information, conduct research,
and perform studies and investigations
relating to the causes and prevention of
deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses,
other health impairments, and economic
losses associated with consumer
products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that the
Commission may conduct research,
studies and investigations on the safety
of consumer products or test consumer
products and develop product safety
test methods and testing devices.
To better identify and evaluate the
risks of product-related incidents, the
Commission staff invites and obtains
direct feedback from consumers on
issues related to product safety such as
recall effectiveness, product use, and
perceptions regarding safety issues.
Through participation in certain focus
groups, consumers answer questions
and provide information regarding their
actual experiences, opinions and/or
perceptions on the use or pattern of use
of a specific product or type of product,
including recalled products. The
information collected from the
Consumer Focus Groups will help
inform the Commission’s evaluation of
consumer products and product use by
providing insight and information into
consumer perceptions and usage
patterns. Such information also may
assist the Commission’s efforts to
support voluntary standards activities
and help identify areas regarding
consumer safety issues that need
additional research. In addition, the
information will assist with forming
new ways of providing user friendly
data to consumers through CPSC’s Web
site and information and education
campaigns.
If this information is not collected, the
Commission may not have available
certain useful information regarding
consumer experiences, opinions, and
perceptions related to specific product
use in its ongoing efforts to improve the
safety of consumer products and safety
information on behalf of consumers.
Currently, the Commission staff relies
on its expert judgment about consumer
behavior, perceptions, and similar
information related to consumer
products and product use. Not
conducting the information collection
activity, therefore, could reduce the
quality of assessments currently
completed by Commission staff. The
information collection activity would
likely provide the Commission staff
with information that would focus the

staff’s assessments, or could provide
insight into consumer perceptions and
usage patterns that could not be
anticipated by Commission staff.
In the Federal Register of June 7, 2010
(75 FR 32161), the CPSC published a 60day notice requesting public comment
on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows. We
anticipate that, over the three year
period of this request, we will conduct
40 focus groups and 20 one-on-one
interviews for a variety of projects. The
total hours of burden to the respondents
are: (4 hours per person × 400
participants) + (30 minutes per person
× 20 participants) = 1,610 hours (537
hours budgeted per year for three years).
The total annual cost is: 1,610 × $29.40
(U.S. Department of Labor, Employer
costs for Employee Compensation,
September 2009) = $47,334 ($15,778
budgeted per year for three years).
The estimated annual cost of the
information collection requirements to
the Federal government is
approximately $140,000 per year for
three years. Salary and benefits costs for
government personnel assigned to this
study are estimated at $127,573 based
on 9 months of staff time at an average
level of GS–14 step 5 (($119,238 ÷ .701)
÷ 12 months) × 21 months), using a 70.1
percent ratio of wages and salary to total
compensation from Table 1 of the
December 2009 Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation, published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This sum
also includes travel costs expended for
meeting with contractors ($40,000,
estimated at $1,000 per focus group),
and contracts for conducting focus
groups and/or one-on-one interviews
($250,000, estimated at $5,000 per focus
group and $2,500 per one-on-one
interview).
