Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 215 / Tuesday, November 6, 2012 / Notices
to transmit electronic determination
messages to the FBI CJIS Division’s
NICS Section of the status of a firearm
background check in those instances in
which a transaction is ‘‘open’’
(transactions unresolved before the end
of the operational day on which the
transaction was initiated); ‘‘denied’’
transactions; transactions reported to
the NICS as open and subsequently
changed to proceed; and overturned
denials. The POC State must send this
response to the NICS immediately upon
communicating their determination to
the Federal Firearms Licensee or in
those cases in which a response has not
been communicated, no later than the
end of the operational day in which the
transaction was initiated. For those
responses that are not received, the
NICS will assume the transaction
resulted in a ‘‘proceed.’’ https://
www.fbi.gov/programs/nics/index.htm.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
There are 21 POC States that are
required to submit electronic
notifications to the FBI CJIS Division’s
NICS Section and 18 ATF-qualified
Alternate Permit States voluntarily
submit electronic notifications to the
FBI CJIS Division’s NICS Section. Both
POC States and ATF-qualified Permit
States conduct an average of 5,859,797
transactions per year. It is estimated that
26 percent of these transactions would
be affected by this collection and would
require electronic messages sent to the
NICS. This translates to 1,523,547
transactions, which would be the total
number of annual responses. The other
74 percent would not be reported in this
collection. It is estimated it will require
one minute (60 seconds) for each POC
State and ATF-qualified Alternate
Permit State to transmit the information
per transaction to the NICS. Thus, it is
estimated that collectively all
respondents will spend 25,392 hours
yearly submitting determinations to the
NICS. If the number of transactions were
distributed evenly among the POC
States and ATF-qualified Alternate
Permit States, then 651 hours would be
the estimated time for each of the 39
states to respond. Record-keeping time
is part of the routine business process
and is not part of this calculation.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
The average yearly hour burden for
submitting final determinations
combined is: (5,859,797 total checks ×
26 percent)/60 seconds = 25,392 hours.
(7) Estimates of Total Annual Cost
Burden:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:06 Nov 05, 2012
Jkt 229001
Due to the variety of technical
requirements that exist among the
different POC state systems, the
multiplicity of available technology, and
indeterminate volume of transactions,
the total annual cost burden to the POC
States and ATF-alternate Permit States
were estimated to be approximately
$13,390,000. This figure includes startup costs for initial implementation
which were estimated according to
industry standard data and limited
information provided by the POC states.
This figure also includes NICS Section
estimated annual costs for postimplementation, which includes
operation and maintenance, hardware/
software upgrades, and overhead based
on 13 Full POC States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The collections of information in the
Standard are necessary for
implementation of the requirements of
the Standard. The information is used
by employers to ensure that processes
using highly hazardous chemicals with
the potential of a catastrophic release
are operated as safely as possible. The
employer must thoroughly consider all
facets of a process, as well as the
involvement of employees in that
process. Employers analyze processes so
that they can identify, evaluate and
control problems that could lead to a
major release, fire, or explosion.
The major information collection
requirements in this Standard include:
Consulting with workers and their
representatives on and providing them
access to process hazard analyses and
the development of other elements of
the standard; developing a written
action plan for implementation of
employee participation in process
hazard analyses and other elements of
the standard; completing a compilation
of written process safety information;
performing a process hazard analysis;
documenting actions taken to resolve
process hazard analysis team findings
and recommendations; updating,
revalidating and retaining the process
hazard analysis; developing and
implementing written operating
