Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 248 / Thursday, December 27, 2012 / Notices
2634.603(g)(2) of OGE’s executive
branch financial disclosure regulation.
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics
administers the qualified trust program
for the executive branch. At the present
time, there are no active filers using the
trust model certificates and documents.
However, OGE intends to submit to
OMB a request for extension of approval
for two reasons. First, under OMB’s
implementing regulations for the
Paperwork Reduction Act, at 5 CFR
1320.3(c)(4)(i), any recordkeeping,
reporting or disclosure requirement
contained in a sponsoring agency rule of
general applicability is deemed to meet
the minimum threshold of ten or more
persons. Second, OGE does anticipate
possible limited use of these forms
during the forthcoming three-year
period 2013–2016. Therefore, the
estimated burden figures, representing
branchwide implementation of the
forms, will remain the same as
previously reported by OGE in its prior
first and second round paperwork
renewal notice for the trust forms in
2009 (74 FR 47799–47801 (September
17, 2009) and 74 FR 62780–62782
(December 1, 2009)). The estimate is
based on the amount of time imposed
on a trust administrator or private
representative.
i. Trust Certificates:
A. Certificate of Independence: Total
filers (executive branch): 5; private
citizen filers (100%): 5; private citizen
burden hours (20 minutes/certificate): 2.
B. Certificate of Compliance: Total
filers (executive branch): 10; private
citizen filers (100%): 10; private citizen
burden hours (20 minutes/certificate): 3;
and
ii. Model Qualified Trust Documents:
A. Blind Trust Communications: Total
users (executive branch): 5; private
citizen users (100%): 5;
communications documents (private
citizens): 25 (based on an average of five
communications per user, per year);
private citizen burden hours (20
minutes/communication): 8.
B. Model Qualified Blind Trust: Total
users (executive branch): 2; private
citizen users (100%): 2; private citizen
burden hours (100 hours/model): 200.
C. Model Qualified Diversified Trust:
Total users (executive branch): 1;
private citizen users (100%): 1; private
citizen burden hours (100 hours/model):
100.
D.–H. Of the five remaining model
qualified trust documents: Total users
(executive branch): 2; private citizen
users (100%): 2; private citizen burden
hours (100 hours/model): 200.
I.–J. Of the two model confidentiality
agreements: Total users (executive
branch): 1; private citizen users (100%):
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:53 Dec 26, 2012
Jkt 229001
1; private citizen burden hours (50
hours/agreement): 50.
However, the total annual reporting
hour burden on filers themselves is zero
and not the 563 hours estimated above
because OGE’s estimating methodology
reflects the fact that all respondents hire
private trust administrators or other
private representatives to set up and
maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts. Respondents
themselves, typically incoming private
citizen Presidential nominees, therefore
incur no hour burden. The estimated
total annual cost burden to respondents
resulting from the collection of
information is $1,000,000. Those who
use the model documents for guidance
are private trust administrators or other
private representatives hired to set up
and maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts of executive branch
officials who seek to establish such
qualified trusts. The cost burden figure
is based primarily on OGE’s knowledge
of the typical trust administrator fee
structure (an average of 1 percent of
total assets) and OGE’s experience with
administration of the qualified trust
program. The $1,000,000 annual cost
figure is based on OGE’s estimate of an
average of five possible active trusts
anticipated to be under administration
for each of the next two years with
combined total assets of $100,000,000.
However, OGE notes that the $1,000,000
figure is a cost estimate for the overall
administration of the trusts, only a
portion of which relates to information
collection and reporting. For want of a
precise way to break out the costs
directly associated with information
collection, OGE is continuing to report
to OMB the full $1,000,000 estimate for
paperwork clearance purposes.
Public comment is invited on each
aspect of the model qualified trust
certificates and model trust documents,
and underlying regulatory provisions, as
set forth in this notice, including
specific views on the need for and
practical utility of this set of collections
of information, the accuracy of OGE’s
burden estimate, the potential for
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected, and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
Comments received in response to
this notice will be summarized for, and
may be included with, the OGE request
for extension of the OMB paperwork
approval for the set of the various
existing qualified trust model
certificates, the model communications
package, and the model trust
documents. The comments will also
become a matter of public record.

and Long-Term Care Expenses
OMB No.: 0990–0308.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) within the HHS Office of

Title: National Directory of New
Hires.
OMB No.: 0970–0166.
Description: The National Directory of
New Hires (NDNH), an automated
directory maintained by the Federal
Office of Child Support Enforcement,
was established pursuant to the
Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.
42 U.S.C. 653(i)(1). In accordance with
Section 453A(g)(2) of the Social Security
Act, employers are required to report
information pertaining to newly hired
employees to their state directory of
new hires (SDNH) and, within three
days of receiving employer information,
states are required to transmit SDNH
information to the NDNH. States are
also required to transmit wage and
unemployment compensation claims
information to the NDNH on a quarterly
basis. Federal Agencies are required to
report new hires and quarterly wage
information directly to the NDNH.
The information maintained in the
NDNH is collected electronically and is
used to assist states in administering
child support programs, assisting child
support agencies in locating parents,
and enforcing child support orders.
Additionally, Congress has authorized
specific state and federal agencies to
receive NDNH information for
authorized purposes to assist in
administering certain programs.
Respondents: Employers, State Child
Support Enforcement Agencies, and
State Workforce Agencies.
