Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 17141-17142 [2014-06770]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 2014 / Notices that have been filed with the Commission. The Commission’s last updated records indicate that approximately 660 firms have active continuing guaranties. Because continuing guaranties are not required to be filed with the Commission, CPSC staff rounded the number of firms up to 1,000. The Commission estimates that the flammability standards for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic film and enforcement regulations impose an average annual burden of about 101.6 hours on each of those firms, based on an estimate of the time for each firm to conduct testing, issue guaranties, and to establish and maintain associated records. The average annual burden hour estimate of 101.6 is based on the following assumptions, which are based, among other things, on staff’s experience with and expertise in testing requirements and procedures and staff’s review of records relating to guaranties that have been filed with the Commission: • Testing Time—5 hours per test series, using either the test and conditioning procedures in the regulations or alternate methods that are now allowed under the 2007 amendments to the regulations (this was applied to all firms for each guaranty, even though many firms no longer test because the products are exempt by virtue of weight or fiber content under 16 CFR 1610.1(d), or because the firms’ experience indicates that the fabrics already comply); • Guaranties Issued—On average, 20 new guaranties issued per firm per year for new fabrics or garments; • Estimated Annual Testing Time per Firm—5 hours for testing × 20 guaranties issued = 100 hours per firm; • Estimated Annual Recordkeeping per Firm—1 hour to create, record, and enter test data into a computerized dataset; 20 minutes (= 0.3 hours) for annual review/removal of records; 20 minutes (= 0.3 hours) to respond to one CPSC records request per year; for a total of 1.6 recordkeeping hours per firm (1 hour + .3 hours + .3 hours = 1.6 hours per firm); • Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours per Firm—100 hours Estimated Annual Testing Time per Firm + 1.6 Estimated Annual Recordkeeping hours per Firm = 101.6 hours per firm; • Estimated Annual Industry Burden—101.6 hours per firm × 1,000 firms issuing guaranties = 101,600 industry burden hours. The total annual industry burden imposed by the flammability standards for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic film and enforcement regulations on VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:40 Mar 26, 2014 Jkt 232001 manufacturers and importers of garments, fabrics, and related materials is estimated to be about 101,600 hours (101.6 hours per firm × 1,000 firms). The hourly wage for the testing and recordkeeping required by the standards is about $61.06 (for management, professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2012), for an estimated annual cost to the industry of approximately $6.2 million (101,600 × $61.06 = $6,203,696.00). The hourly wage was updated from the $57.22 estimate used in the June 14, 2013 notice (for management, professional, and related occupations in goodsproducing industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2009). The estimated annual cost of the information collection requirements to the federal government is approximately $4,696, which is based on a total 80 staff hours to examine and evaluate the information as needed for Compliance activities (representing an estimate of the actual time required to conduct such examination and evaluation in staff’s experience). Compliance staff typically reviews a subset of the guaranties filed and may inspect firms that issue guaranties. The estimated annual cost to the government is based on a GS–12 level salaried employee. The average hourly wage rate for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (effective as of January 2011) is $40.80 (GS–12, step 5). This represents 69.5 percent of total compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ December 2012, Table 1, percentage of wages and salaries for all civilian management, professional, and related employees: https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding an additional 30.5 percent for benefits brings average hourly compensation for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee to $58.70 ($58.70 hourly compensation × 80 hours = $4,696.00). Dated: March 24, 2014. Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
