SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Proposed Information Collection
Activities
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, federal
agencies must get OMB approval for
each collection of information they
conduct, sponsor, or require.
‘‘Collection of information’’ means
agency requests or requirements to
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. 44 U.S.C.

3502(3); 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the
FTC is providing this opportunity for
public comment before requesting that
OMB extend the existing PRA clearance
for the information collection
requirements pertaining to the
Commission’s administrative activities
(OMB Control Number 3084–0047).
The Commission’s Administrative
Activities clearance consists of: (a)
Applications to the Commission,
including applications and notices
contained in the Commission’s Rules of
Practice (primarily Parts I, II, and IV);
(b) the FTC’s consumer complaint
systems; and (c) FTC program
evaluation activities.
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond. All
comments must be received on or before
January 13, 2015.
Estimated annual hours burden:
223,101 hours (400 + 222,622 + 64 +
15).
(a) Applications to the Commission,
including applications and notices
supported pursuant to the Commission’s
Rules of Practice: 400 hours.
Most applications to the Commission
generally fall within the ‘‘law
enforcement’’ exception to the PRA and
are mostly found in Part III (Rules of
Practice for Adjudicative Proceedings)
of the Commission’s Rules of Practice.
See 16 CFR 3.1–3.83. Nonetheless, there
are various applications and notices to
the Commission contained in other
rules (generally in Parts I, II, and IV of
the Commission’s Rule of Practice). For
example, staff estimates that the FTC
annually receives approximately 15
requests for clearance submitted by
former FTC employees in order to
participate in certain matters and
screening affidavits submitted by
partners or legal or business associates
of former employees pursuant to Rule
4.1, 16 CFR 4.1. There are also
procedures set out in Rule 4.11(e) for
agency review of outside requests for
Commission employee testimony,
through compulsory process or
otherwise, in cases or matters to which
the agency is not a party. Rule 4.11(e)
requires that a person who seeks such
