VAFB formally consulted with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1998 on the possible take of southern sea otters during ULA’s harbor activities at south VAFB. A Biological Opinion was issued in August 2001, which concluded that the EELV Program is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the southern sea otter, and no injury or mortality is expected. The activities covered by this IHA are analyzed in that Biological Opinion, and this IHA does not modify the action in a manner that was not previously analyzed. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES In 2001, the USAF prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for Harbor Activities Associated with the Delta IV Program at VAFB. In 2005, NMFS prepared an EA augmenting the information contained in the USAF EA and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on the issuance of an IHA for ULA’s harbor activities in accordance with section 6.01 of the NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 (Environmental Review Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, May 20, 1999). ULA’s proposed activities and impacts for 2011–2012 are within the scope of NMFS’ 2005 EA and FONSI. NMFS has again reviewed the 2005 EA and determined that there are no new direct, indirect or cumulative impacts to the human and natural environment associated with the IHA requiring evaluation in a supplemental EA and NMFS, therefore, intends to reaffirm the 2005 FONSI. A copy of the EA and the FONSI for this activity is available upon request (see ADDRESSES). Dated: April 13, 2011. James H.

The CPSC is seeking OMB approval of a generic clearance for CPSC’s contests and awards. The information to be collected from contestants and award nominees or nominators includes contact and background information necessary to conduct a contest or award program. Limited background or biographical information similar to data found on a resume, such as a nominee’s education and work experience, may be requested for some contests or awards. Additionally, the substantive entries that are the subject of the contests or awards, such as essays, posters, drawings, and videos; descriptions of products, services, or inventions; and statistics on product or service performance or impact, may be requested from contestants and award nominees. In the Federal Register of November 29, 2010 (75 FR 73047), the CPSC published a 60-day 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. The CPSC estimates up to 500 contest or award participants each year. The estimated time to complete a contest or award submission is five hours. In addition, approximately 20 applicants may be asked to provide additional information, a task that may take up to two additional hours to complete. Therefore, the total estimated burden on respondents is 2,540 hours ((500 participants × 5 hours/participant) + (20 applicants × 2 hours/participant) = 2,500 hours + 40 hours = 2,540 hours). The estimated total annual cost of the burden to all respondents is $75,463. This estimate is based on the total estimated burden on respondents (2,540 hours) multiplied against an hourly civilian rate of $29.71 per hour, as specified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2010, All Workers, resulting in a total of $75,463.40, which we have rounded down to $75,463. We estimate the total annual costs to the federal government as follows. Ten staff members would support the contest or award activities annually. The CPSC tentatively estimates that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:19 Apr 18, 2011 Jkt 223001 each staff member will spend approximately six hours per work week for six months on such contest or award activities. Of the 10 staff members, the CPSC tentatively believes that seven will be General Schedule (GS) employees, and three will be Senior Executive Service (SES) employees. Accordingly, for seven GS employees, the estimated total annual cost to the federal government is determined as follows: Seven employees × (six hours/ week/employee × 24 weeks) = 1,008 hours. Assuming the employees are at the GS–15, Step 5 level, the hourly rate for such an employee located in the Washington, DC, area is $ 67.21/hour; thus $67.21/hour × 1,008 hours = $67,747.68. For the SES employees, three employees × (six hours/week/ employee × 24 weeks) = 432 hours. Assuming the employees are at the Level III level for SES employees, the hourly rate for such an employee is approximately $79.47/hour; thus $79.47/hour × 432 hours = $34,331.04. The estimated total annual cost to the federal government is $67,747.68 + $34,331.04 = $102,078.72, which we have rounded up to $102,079. Dated: April 14, 2011. Todd A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the CPSC

consumers about safety hazards; and attract more public interest and

    The CPSC is seeking OMB approval of a generic clearance for CPSC's

posters, drawings, and videos; descriptions of products, services, or 
inventions; and statistics on product or service performance or impact, 
may be requested from contestants and award nominees.
    In the Federal Register of November 29, 2010 (75 FR 73047), the 
CPSC published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the 
proposed collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as

each year. The estimated time to complete a contest or award submission 
is five hours. In addition, approximately 20 applicants may be asked to 
provide additional information, a task that may take up to two

(20 applicants x 2 hours/participant) = 2,500 hours + 40 hours = 2,540 
hours). The estimated total annual cost of the burden to all

civilian rate of $29.71 per hour, as specified by the Bureau of Labor

on such contest or award activities. Of the 10 staff members, the CPSC 
tentatively believes that seven will be General Schedule (GS) 
employees, and three will be Senior Executive Service (SES) employees. 
Accordingly, for seven GS employees, the estimated total annual cost to

are at the GS-15, Step 5 level, the hourly rate for such an employee

1,008 hours = $67,747.68. For the SES employees, three employees x (six 
hours/week/employee x 24 weeks) = 432 hours. Assuming the employees are 
at the Level III level for SES employees, the hourly rate for such an 
employee is approximately $79.47/hour; thus $79.47/hour x 432 hours = 
$34,331.04. The estimated total annual cost to the federal government 
is $67,747.68 + $34,331.04 = $102,078.72, which we have rounded up to 
$102,079.
