Designation of a Class of Employees for Addition to the Special Exposure Cohort, 64996-64997 [2012-26172]

Download as PDF 64996 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 24, 2012 / Notices workers in sales and related occupations was $18.04/hr. The bulk of the burden of complying with the MTOR is borne by clerical personnel along with assistance from sales personnel. Staff believes that the mean hourly income for workers in sales and related occupations is an appropriate measure of a direct marketer’s average labor cost to comply with the Rule. Thus, the total annual labor cost to new and established businesses for MTOR compliance during the three-year period for which OMB approval is sought would be approximately $31,830,000 (1,764,390 hours × $18.04/hr.), rounded to the nearest thousand. Relative to direct industry sales, this total is negligible.10 Estimated annual non-labor cost burden: $0 or minimal. The applicable requirements impose minimal start-up costs, as businesses subject to the Rule generally have or obtain necessary equipment for other business purposes, i.e., inventory and order management, and customer relations. For the same reason, staff anticipates printing and copying costs to be minimal, especially given that telephone order merchants have increasingly turned to electronic communications to notify consumers of delay and to provide cancellation options. Staff believes that the above requirements necessitate ongoing, regular training so that covered entities stay current and have a clear understanding of federal mandates, but that this would be a small portion of and subsumed within the ordinary training that employees receive apart from that associated with the information collected under the Rule. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with Request for Comments You can file a comment online or on paper.

Your comment—including your name and your state—will be placed on the public record of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable, on the public Commission Web site, at https://www.ftc.gov/os/ publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of 10 Considering that sales for ‘‘electronic shopping and mail-order houses’’ grew from $80 billion in 1998 to $235.0 billion in 2009 (according to Table 1055 in the 2012 Statistical Abstracts; found on 12s1055–1.xls available at https://www.census.gov/ compendia/statab/cats/wholesale_retail_trade/ online_retail_sales.html ), staff estimates the annual mail or telephone sales to consumers in the threeyear period for which OMB clearance is sought will average $305 billion. Thus, the projected average labor cost for MTOR compliance by existing and new businesses for that period would amount to 0.01% of sales.
