additional information required in the
Percentage of Labor/Parts and the
Systems Covered/Duration sections of
the Buyers Guide, will depend on
whether the dealer uses a manual or
automated process or Buyers Guides
that are pre-printed with the dealer’s
standard warranty terms. Staff estimates
that these tasks will take an average of
one additional minute, i.e.,
cumulatively, an average total time of
three minutes for each used car sold
under warranty.
Staff estimates that approximately
fifty percent of used cars sold by dealers
are sold ‘‘as is,’’ with the other half sold
under warranty. Therefore, staff
estimates that the overall time required
to enter data on Buyers Guides consists
of 408,856 hours for used cars sold
without a warranty (24,531,374 vehicles
× 50% × 2 minutes per vehicle) and
613,284 hours for used cars sold under
warranty (24,531,374 vehicles × 50% ×
3 minutes per vehicle) for a cumulative
estimated total of 1,022,140 hours.
3. Displaying Buyers Guides on
Vehicles: Although the time required to
display the Buyers Guides on each used
car may vary substantially, FTC staff
estimates that dealers will spend an
average of 1.75 minutes per vehicle to
match the correct Buyers Guide to the
vehicle and to display it on the vehicle.
The estimated burden associated with
this task is approximately 715,498 hours
for the 24,531,374 vehicles sold in 2009
(24,531,374 vehicles × 1.75 minutes per
vehicle).
4. Revising Buyers Guides as
Necessary: If negotiations between the
buyer and seller over warranty coverage
produce a sale on terms other than those
originally entered on the Buyers Guide,
the dealer must revise the Buyers Guide
to reflect the actual terms of sale.
According to the original rulemaking
record, bargaining over warranty
coverage rarely occurs. Staff notes that
consumers often do not need to
negotiate over warranty coverage
because they can find vehicles that are
offered with the desired warranty
coverage online or in other ways before
ever contacting a dealer. Accordingly,
staff assumes that the Buyers Guide will
be revised in no more than two percent
of sales, with an average time of two
minutes per revision. Therefore, staff
estimates that dealers annually will
spend approximately 16,354 hours
revising Buyers Guides (24,531,374
vehicles × 2% × 2 minutes per vehicle).
5. Spanish Language Sales: The Rule
requires that contract disclosures be
made in Spanish if a sale is conducted
in Spanish.6 The Rule permits
6 16
CFR 455.5.

displaying both an English and a
Spanish language Buyers Guide to
comply with this requirement.7 Many
dealers with large numbers of Spanishspeaking customers likely will post both
English and Spanish Buyers Guides to
avoid potential compliance violations.
Calculations from United States
Census Bureau surveys indicate that
approximately 6.5 percent of the United
States population speaks Spanish at
home, without also speaking fluent
English.8 Staff therefore projects that
approximately 6.5 percent of used car
sales will be conducted in Spanish.
Dealers will incur the additional burden
of completing and displaying a second
Buyers Guide in 6.5 percent of sales
assuming that dealers choose to comply
with the Rule by posting both English
and Spanish Buyers Guides. The annual
hours burden associated with
completing and posting Buyers Guides
is 1,737,638 hours (1,022,140 hours for
entering data on Buyers Guides plus
715,498 hours for displaying Buyers
Guides). Therefore, staff estimates that
the additional burden caused by the
Rule’s requirement that dealers display
Spanish language Buyers Guides when
conducting sales in Spanish is 112,947
hours (1,737,638 hours × 6.5%). The
other components of the annual hours
burden, i.e., purchasing Buyers Guides
and revising them for changes in
warranty coverage, remain unchanged.
Estimated annual cost burden:
$26,301,525 in labor costs and
$4,906,275 in non-labor costs.
1. Labor costs: Labor costs are derived
by applying appropriate hourly cost
figures to the burden hours described
above. Staff has determined that all of
the tasks associated with ordering
forms, entering data on Buyers Guides,
posting Buyers Guides on vehicles, and
revising them as needed, including the
corresponding tasks associated with
Spanish Buyers Guides, are typically
done by clerical or low-level
administrative personnel. Using a
clerical cost rate of $13.32 per hour 9

hours for disclosure requirements, the
total labor cost burden would be
approximately $26,301,525.
2. Capital or other non-labor costs:
Although the cost of Buyers Guides can
vary considerably, based on industry
input staff estimates that the average
cost of each Buyers Guide is twenty
cents. The estimated cost of Buyers
Guides for the 24,531,374 used cars sold
by dealers in 2009 is approximately
$4,906,275. In making this estimate,
staff conservatively assumes that all
dealers will purchase preprinted forms
instead of producing them internally,
although dealers may produce them at
minimal expense using current office
automation technology. Capital and
start-up costs associated with the Rule
are minimal.

community-level responses to surges in
demand, but it remains a difficult task.
While there is extensive research on
managing collaborations during times of
extraordinary pressure where response
to surge takes precedence over other
activities, less is known about
developing and maintaining integrated
collaborations during periods where the
system must respond to unusual surge
but also continue the routine provision
of health care. In particular, studies
have not explored how these
collaborations can build on sustainable
relationships between a broad range of
stakeholders (including primary care
providers) in communities with
different market structures and different
degrees of investment in public health.
This study aims to generate
information about the role of
community-based collaborations in
disaster preparedness that the CDC can
use to develop its programs guiding and
supporting these collaborations. This
project will explore barriers and
facilitators to coordination on surge
response in ten communities, eight of
which have been studied longitudinally
since the mid-1990s as part of the
Center for Studying Health System
Change’s (HSC’s) Community Tracking
Study (CTS). Interviews of local
healthcare stakeholders will be
conducted at 10 sites.
Interviews will be conducted at a total
of 63 organizations over the two years
of this project. Within each of the ten
communities studied, two emergency
practitioner respondents (one from a
safety-net hospital and one from a nonsafety-net hospital), two primary care
providers (one from a large practice and
one from a small practice) and two local
preparedness experts (one from the
County or local public health agency,
and one coordinator or collaboration
leader) will be interviewed. In three
sites (Phoenix, Greenville and Seattle)
an additional respondent will be
identified from an outlying rural area to
offer the perspective of providers in
those communities. There is no cost to
respondents except their time.

Background and Brief Description
The Healthcare Preparedness Activity,
Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion (DHQP) at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
works with other Federal agencies, State
governments, medical societies and
other public and private organizations
to promote collaboration amongst
healthcare partners, and to integrate
healthcare preparedness into Federal,
State and local public health
preparedness planning. The goal of the
Activity is to help local communities’
healthcare delivery and public health
sectors effectively and efficiently
prepare for and respond to urgent and
emergent threats.
Surge is defined as a marked increase
in demand for resources such as
personnel, space and material. Health
care providers manage both routine
surge (predictable fluctuations in
demand associated with the weekly
calendar, for example) as well as
unusual surge (larger fluctuations in
demand caused by rarer events such as
pandemic influenza). Except in
extraordinary cases, providers are
expected to manage surge while
adhering to their existing standards for
quality and patient safety. Currently,
health care organizations are expected
to prepare for and respond to surges in
demand ranging from a severe
catastrophe (for example, a nuclear
detonation) to more common, less
severe events (for example, a worsethan-usual influenza season). The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and Federal agencies
have dedicated considerable funding
and technical assistance towards
developing and coordinating
