per firm totaling 390 hours per firm (3
hours × 130 days). In addition, to
produce labels and apply labels on the
newly manufactured lawn mowers, one
hour daily is estimated for each firm
during the production cycle for a total
of 130 hours per firm (1 hour × 130
days).
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
9,750 hours on testing and
recordkeeping (25 firms × 390 hours)
and 3,250 hours for labeling (25 firms ×
130 hours) for a total annual burden of
13,000 hours per year.
General Description of Collection: In
1979, the Commission issued the Safety
Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn
Mowers (16 CFR part 1205) to address
blade contact injuries. Subpart B of the
standard sets forth regulations
prescribing requirements for a
reasonable testing program to support
certificates of compliance with the
standard for walk-behind power lawn
mowers. 16 CFR part 1205, subpart B.
In addition, section 14(a) of the CPSA
(15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of a consumer product subject
to a consumer product safety standard
to issue a certificate stating that the
product complies with all applicable
consumer product safety standards.
Section 14(a) of the CPSA also requires
that the certificate of compliance must
be based on a test of each product or
upon a reasonable testing program. The
information collection is necessary
because these regulations require
manufacturers and importers to
establish and maintain records to
demonstrate compliance with the
requirements for testing and labeling to
support the certification of compliance.
Dated: February 18, 2016.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission.

Annual Burden Hours: 192.
Number of Respondents: 128.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 128.
Average Burden per Response: 1.5
Hours.
Frequency: One-Time.
The purpose of this collection is to
provide qualitative and quantitative
data to the Department of the Army
(DA) on the civilian workforce’s
attitudes, perceptions, and awareness of
civilian career opportunities within the
Federal Government, and the Army. The
DA maintains a listing of professional
and technical skill sets that are critical
to the Service’s needs of today and
tomorrow. The collection, compilation,
and analysis of the new qualitative and
quantitative data is imperative to the
DA’s marketing and recruitment strategy
for informing, identifying, and
ultimately hiring those identified with
the skill sets necessary for a sustainable
DA. Attention will be focused in
particular on DA Civilian critical
occupations with current or projected
shortfalls to set specific marketing
objectives, goals, and strategies for these
critical skill areas. Information for this
study will be collected in two phases.
Phase I will be qualitative (focus groups)
and Phase II will be quantitative
(survey). This is a one-time data
collection anticipated to be completed
within approximately six months of
OMB approval.
The data collected from these
activities will be supplemented with
reviews of recent Army branding and
marketing practices as well as of recent
and projected hiring needs into DA
Civilian jobs. Respondents for both the
focus groups and quantitative study will
be individuals currently employed in
the private sector in occupations
deemed essential by the Army or
individuals who are considering careers
in these essential occupations. Quota
groups will be established to ensure
there is an adequate representation of
career stage (pre-, early- and mid)
among volunteers. Focus group data
will be collected via moderator-led
discussions. Quantitative study data
will be collected via a questionnaire
administered online. Participation in
the focus groups and quantitative study
will be voluntary. The data collection
will focus on awareness and knowledge
of DA Civilian job opportunities;
comparison of DA Civilian vs. private
jobs/careers across key dimensions;
most important reasons to seek civilian
employment in the Army; perceived
negative aspects of Army Civilian
employment; reactions to facts and
