Notice of Submission for OMB Review; Office of Postsecondary Education; Application for the Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program, 22565-22566 [2012-9002]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 73 / Monday, April 16, 2012 / Notices emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES contain requirements for marking and instructional literature. CPSC staff intends to visit child care centers to measure compliance with the crib safety standards. Information from those visits would be recorded on a ‘‘Verification of Compliance Form.’’ CPSC investigators or designated state or local government officials will use the form, which will be filled out entirely at the site during the normal course of the visit. The Commission intends to use the information to measure compliance with the crib safety standards and to develop an enforcement strategy. We intend to begin with a pilot program in 2012, that would involve conducting visits to approximately 70 child care centers in seven states. Depending on the results of the pilot program, we would expand the program in 2013, although expansion of the program’s size would depend upon the availability of CPSC resources. B. Estimated Burden CPSC staff estimates that there may be approximately 70 inspections during the pilot program in 2012. Because the investigators will be talking to the child care facility staff at the time of the inspection and asking questions to help complete the form, CPSC staff estimates that the burden hours for child care facility staff to respond to the questions will be approximately a quarter of an hour per inspection. Thus, the estimated total annual burden hours for respondents are approximately 17.5 hours (70 inspections × a quarter of an hour per inspection). CPSC staff estimates that the annualized cost to all respondents is approximately $383.43 based on an hourly wage of $21.91 per hour ($21.91 × 17.5). (Bureau of Labor Statistics (‘‘BLS’’), total compensation for all workers, sales and office for service-producing industries, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation Table 9, September 2011). CPSC staff estimates that it will take an average of a quarter of an hour to review the information collected. The annual cost to the federal government of the collection of information in these regulations is estimated to be $704.26. This is based on an average wage rate of $28.13 (the equivalent of a GS–9 Step 5 employee). This represents 69.9 percent of total compensation (Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011, percentage wages and salaries for all civilian management, professional, and related employees, Table 1). Adding an additional 30.1 percent for benefits brings the average hourly compensation for a GS–9 Step 5 employee to $40.24. Thus, 35 hours for conducting and VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:39 Apr 13, 2012 Jkt 226001 22565 reviewing (17.5 hours plus 17.5 hours) the information multiplied against an hourly compensation figure of $40.24 results in an estimated cost to the government of $1,408.40. DATES: C. Request for Comments The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics: • Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission’s functions, including whether the information would have practical utility; • Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate; • Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and • Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic, or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
