Defense Science Board; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee Meeting, 30922-30923 [2018-14194]

B. Survey CPSC has entered into a contract with Eureka Facts to conduct a national inhome survey that will estimate the use and functionality of smoke and CO alarms in households, as well as user hazard perceptions regarding such alarms. The information collected from this survey will provide CPSC updated national estimates regarding the use of smoke alarms and CO alarms in households, based on direct observation of alarm installations. The survey also will help CPSC identify the groups that do not have operable smoke alarms and/ or CO alarms and the reasons they do not have such alarms. With this information, CPSC will be able to target its messaging better and improve consumer use and awareness regarding the operability of these alarms. In addition, the survey results will help to inform CPSC’s recommendations to voluntary standards groups and state/ local jurisdictions regarding their codes, standards, and/or regulations on smoke and CO alarms. The survey seeks to collect information from 1,185 households within the United States, with an initial group of 50 households that will be processed and analyzed to identify any issues regarding the survey instrument and data collection procedures. The survey will use a mixed-mode, multistage approach to data collection. The data will be collected through two modes: Face-to-face in-home interviews and telephone surveys. The survey instrument will be programmed on Vovici software and will be administered via in-home interviews using a Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) format, or by telephone, using a Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) format. Smoke alarms are more prevalent in homes than CO alarms are. Accordingly, during the screening process, if respondents indicate that they have a smoke alarm that may be tested directly, the respondents will be scheduled for an in-home interview for the full survey. However, if the smoke alarm cannot be tested directly because the household does not have a smoke alarm installed, or the smoke alarms are connected to a central alarm system that will notify the police or fire department, the respondent is not eligible for the inhome survey. Instead of the in-home survey, these households would be given a subset of survey questions about safety attitudes and demographics that VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 Jun 29, 2018 Jkt 244001 would be collected over the telephone. For participants eligible for in-home interviews, a two-member survey team will ask household residents questions related to installed smoke and CO alarms. The survey team will then test residents’ smoke and CO alarms. If any of the alarms do not work, the survey team will offer to replace the alarms free of charge. C. Burden Hours The survey interview will take 20 to 60 minutes to conduct, depending on whether the survey is administered by telephone (about 20 minutes), or by an in-home interview (60 minutes). We estimate the number of survey respondents to be 1,185. We estimate the total annual burden hours for respondents to be 1,422 hours, based on the total time required to respond to the invitation, screener, and the actual survey. The monetized hourly cost is $35.64, as defined by the average total hourly cost to employers for employee compensation for employees across all occupations as of September 2017, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Accordingly, we estimate the total annual cost burden to all respondents to be $50,680. (1,422 hours × $35.64 = $50,680.). The total cost to the federal government for the contract to design and conduct the survey is $721,773. Alberta E. Mills, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DSB is to provide independent advice and technical enterprise. The objective of the meeting is to obtain, review, and evaluate classified information related to the DSB’s mission. The meeting will focus on DoD dependence on the U.S. electric power grid, homeland air defense, maritime situational awareness, threats and promise of biotechnology, countering autonomous systems, technical approaches to counter-intelligence, resilient positioning, navigation and timing, various undersea issues, gray zone conflict, resilience of the defense industrial base, and logistics.

Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, in consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meeting will be closed to the public because it will consider matters covered by title 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout will involve classified matters of national security concern. Such classified material is so intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the meeting to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB’s findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Written Statements: In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and title 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140, interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration by the DSB at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting.
