accurately estimate the public burden
challenging that the agency’s
methodology for calculating it is
insufficient and inadequate and does
not reflect the total burden. The
respondent indicated that .25 hours or
15 minutes per response for the level of
effort involved under the relevant
clauses is unrealistically low. For this
reason, the respondent provided that the
agency should reassess the estimated
total burden hours and revise the
estimate upwards to be more accurate,
as was done in FAR Case 2007–006. The
same respondent also provided that the
burden of compliance with the
information collection requirement
greatly exceeds the agency’s estimate
and outweighs any potential utility of
the extension.
Response: Serious consideration is
given, during the open comment period,
to all comments received and
adjustments are made to the paperwork
burden estimate based on reasonable
considerations provided by the public.
This is evidenced, as the respondent
notes, in FAR Case 2007–006 where an
adjustment was made from the total
preparation hours from three to 60. This
change was made considering
particularly the hours that would be
required for review within the company,
prior to release to the Government.
The burden is prepared taking into
consideration the necessary criteria in
OMB guidance for estimating the
paperwork burden put on the entity
submitting the information. For
example, consideration is given to an
entity reviewing instructions; using
technology to collect, process, and
disclose information; adjusting existing
practices to comply with requirements;
searching data sources; completing and
reviewing the response; and
transmitting or disclosing information.
The estimated burden hours for a
collection are based on an average
between the hours that a simple
disclosure by a very small business
might require and the much higher
numbers that might be required for a
very complex disclosure by a major
corporation. Also, the estimated burden
hours should only include projected
hours for those actions which a
company would not undertake in the
normal course of business. Careful
consideration went into assessing the
burden for this collection, and although
the respondent did not provide a
specific recommendation for an increase
of time per response, an adjustment is
made to the estimated total burden. At
any point, members of the public may
submit comments for further
consideration, and are encouraged to

provide data to support their request for
an adjustment.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
The estimated annual reporting
burden is being adjusted upward since
published in the Federal Register at 74
FR 64085, on December 7, 2009. The
upward adjustment is based on a
revised number of respondents obtained
from the Federal Procurement Data
System—Next Generation (FPDS–NG)
data for fixed-price contracts with
economic price adjustments, and
consideration of the public comment.
Respondents: 11,945.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 11,945.
Hours per Response: 1.5.
Total Burden Hours: 17,918.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and

information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these

School Associated Violent Death
Surveillance System (0920–0604,
Expiration 1/31/2013)—Reinstatement
with change—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
The Division of Violence Prevention
(DVP), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
proposes to maintain a system for the
surveillance of school-associated
homicides and suicides; the system
relies on existing public records and
interviews with law enforcement
officials and school officials. The
purpose of the system is to (1) estimate
the rate of school-associated violent
death in the United States and (2)
identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system
will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools,
guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
School-associated violent deaths
(SAVD) is an ongoing surveillance
system that draws cases from the entire
United States in attempting to capture
all cases of school-associated violent
deaths that have occurred. Investigators
review public records and published
press reports concerning each schoolassociated violent death. For each
identified case, investigators also
interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police
officer, police chief, or district attorney),
and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school
counselor, school teacher, or school
support staff) who are knowledgeable
about the case in question. Respondents
will only be interviewed once.
Researchers request information on both
the victim and alleged offender(s)—
including demographic data, their
academic and criminal records, and
their relationship to one another. Data
are also collected on the time and
location of the death; the circumstances,
motive, and method of the fatal injury;
and the security and violence
prevention activities in the school and
community where the death occurred,
before and after the fatal injury event.
The revisions to this data collection
involve changes to the data collection
instruments that will enhance the scope
or relevance of the information
previously collected, and changes that
will reflect recent advancements and
developments in research addressing
violence in school settings. There has
also been an additional measure added
which will further strengthen the data
security processes.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 70.
