[FR Doc. 2013–12863 Filed 5–29–13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410–11–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Title: Research on Evacuating Persons with Mobility Impairments. OMB Control Number: None. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission (new information collection). Number of Respondents: 280. Average Hours per Response: Surveys, 15 minutes; Interviews, 2 hours; and Focus groups, 2 hours. Burden Hours: 193. Needs and Uses: NIST’s previous research on elevators has primarily focused on the technical aspects of ensuring safe and reliable evacuation for the occupants of tall buildings. In addition, the International Code Council and the National Fire Protection Association provide requirements for the use of elevators for both occupant evacuation and fire fighter access into the building. However, there still is little understanding of how occupants use elevator systems during fire emergencies. The focus of this research effort is two-fold: (1) to gain an understanding of how building occupants with mobility impairments currently evacuate multistory buildings in the United States during fire emergencies, and (2) to learn about the concerns of persons with mobility impairments on using elevators during fire evacuations. This research aims to provide guidance to designers and building managers on aspects of fire evacuation that concern occupants with mobility impairments and on how to improve elevator design and usage during fire emergencies. The research includes four opportunities for participation: (a) Building managers and designated safety personnel from a sample of four to ten existing and new federal high-rise buildings in the United States will be contacted to complete a questionnaire requesting information on the emergency plans and procedures for the building, including how the buildings’ evacuation plans incorporate the use of the existing elevator system to evacuate occupants with mobility impairments during fire emergencies. The building emergency plan will be requested from either the General Services Administration (GSA) or from the building manager. (b) Occupants with mobility impairments in the buildings identified in part (a) will be asked for basic information on their mobility with E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1
