Download as PDF 40933 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 12, 2011 / Notices Estimated time (minutes) per participant Task Total participants per task Total minutes per task Expert Interviews ......................................................................................................................... 90 12 * 1,080 Total ...................................................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ 94,080 (= 1568 hours) * = total minutes (= 1,568 hours). The estimates assume 100% participation by all invited participants; the actual participation in brainstorming, sorting, and rating is likely to be less, but since we cannot predict the response rate, we are calculating the burden for all invited participants. The brainstorming task will take respondents 5–10 minutes to complete. The sorting task will take respondents approximately 60–90 minutes to complete. The rating task will take respondents approximately 30–60 minutes to complete. None of these tasks will require participants to complete in one sitting; rather, participants who respond on a Web site can return to work on task completion as often as they choose, until the task deadline. Respondents will have approximately 4 weeks to brainstorm and approximately 6 weeks to sort and rate. Facilitated discussions will require approximately 4–5 hours of respondents’ time. Expert interviews will require no more than 90 minutes of respondents’ time. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: There are an estimated 1,568 total public burden hours associated with this collection. This is planned to be a one-time data collection.
