SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency proposed surveys. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. Accordingly, CPSC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. A. Anchor It! Campaign Proposed Survey CPSC is authorized under section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to conduct studies and investigations relating to the causes and prevention of deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses, other health impairments, and economic losses associated with consumer products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that CPSC may conduct research, studies, and investigations on the safety of consumer products or test consumer products and develop product safety test methods and testing devices. In October 2018, CPSC issued a report ‘‘Product Instability or Tip-Over Injuries and Fatalities Associated with Televisions, Furniture, and Appliances’’ (2018 Report), which showed that emergency departments across the United States treated an estimated 27,300 television- or furniture stabilityrelated injuries annually in 2015–2017 (8,200 involved televisions or both televisions and furniture and 19,100 involved only furniture).1 The 2018 1 https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Product %20Instability%20or%20Tip%20Over%20Report PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Report also reviewed death incidents from 2000 through 2017, and found 507 fatalities (342 involved televisions or both televisions and furniture and 165 involved only furniture.) The 2018 Report showed that children account for the vast majority of both fatalities (83%), as well as the majority of estimated non-fatal emergency department-treated injuries (50%) caused by TV/furniture instability. Of child fatalities, 72 percent involved TV tip-over, and 24 percent furniture tipover. To address the hazard associated with TV/furniture tip-overs, as early as 2015, CPSC implemented an information and education campaign called, ‘‘Anchor It!’’ that stressed the importance of safely and securely mounting TVs and furniture to walls with a goal of reducing the number of injuries and deaths due to TV/furniture tip-over.2 CPSC seeks, through the proposed survey, to evaluate consumer awareness or recognition of the ‘‘Anchor It!’’ campaign, consumer comprehension of the risks and remedies of TV/furniture tip over and anchoring, and consumer behavior and attitude change from the ‘‘Anchor It!’’ campaign. The proposed survey will collect data from a sample of approximately 600 parent and non-parent caregivers of children ages 0–5 years to assess their current behaviors about anchoring furniture and/or televisions in homes, their attitudes and beliefs about anchoring, their knowledge of the CPSC and the ‘‘Anchor It!’’ campaign, and their intentions about anchoring in the future. The proposed survey consists of a highly varied national sample. The proposed survey data will enable CPSC to assess individuals’ existing knowledge of anchoring furniture and televisions, and inform recommendations on how to modify the ‘‘Anchor It!’’ campaign to better target and educate parents and non-parent caregivers. Findings that arise from the proposed survey may also be used by CPSC in designing future studies. CPSC has entered into a contract with Fors Marsh Group (FMG) to conduct the proposed survey and collect the data. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) will program and administer the final survey over the internet. NORC will contact participants electronically via email. The proposed survey will be administered using a secure online platform and the results from the proposed survey will be accessible only %20Oct%202018_STAMPED.pdf?J6AwbQ.

Following data collection, FMG will summarize the results and provide a final report along with the dataset to CPSC staff. B. Burden Hours The proposed survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. We estimate the number of respondents to be 600. We estimate the total annual burden hours for respondents to be 200 hours. The monetized hourly cost is $36.22, as defined by the average total hourly cost to employers for employee compensation for employees across all occupations as of June 2018, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The total cost burden is estimated to be $7,244 (200 hours × $36.22). The total cost to the federal government for the contract to design and conduct the proposed survey is $210,112. C. Request for Comments CPSC invites comments on these topics: • Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of CPSC’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; • The accuracy of CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Abstract: EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K–12) performance data for use in education planning, policymaking, and management and budget decision making to improve outcomes for students. By centralizing data provided by state education agencies about state level data, local education agencies, and schools, NCES uses the EDFacts data to report on students, schools, staff, services, and education outcomes at the state, district, and school levels. The centralized approach provides ED users with the ability to efficiently analyze and report on submitted data and has reduced the reporting burden for state and local data producers through the use of streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting tools. EDFacts collects information on behalf of ED grant and program offices for approximately 150 data groups for all 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and seven outlying areas and freely associated states (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). This request is to collect EDFacts data for the 2019–20, 2020–21, and 2021–22 school years. This collection package received public comments during a 60-day public comment period, which led to a number of revisions reflected in this request’s documents, and is now being made available for the final, 30-day public comment period, after which further E:\FR\FM\08APN1.SGM 08APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency proposed surveys. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) 
of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to 
provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to 
OMB for approval. Accordingly, CPSC is publishing notice of the 
proposed collection of information set forth in this document.

A. Anchor It! Campaign Proposed Survey

    CPSC is authorized under section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 
Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to conduct studies and 
investigations relating to the causes and prevention of deaths, 
accidents, injuries, illnesses, other health impairments, and economic 
losses associated with consumer products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 
U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that CPSC may conduct research, 
studies, and investigations on the safety of consumer products or test 
consumer products and develop product safety test methods and testing 
devices.
    In October 2018, CPSC issued a report ``Product Instability or Tip-
Over Injuries and Fatalities Associated with Televisions, Furniture, 
and Appliances'' (2018 Report), which showed that emergency departments 
across the United States treated an estimated 27,300 television- or 
furniture stability-related injuries annually in 2015-2017 (8,200 
involved televisions or both televisions and furniture and 19,100 
involved only furniture).\1\ The 2018 Report also reviewed death 
incidents from 2000 through 2017, and found 507 fatalities (342 
involved televisions or both televisions and furniture and 165 involved 
only furniture.) The 2018 Report showed that children account for the 
vast majority of both fatalities (83%), as well as the majority of 
estimated non-fatal emergency department-treated injuries (50%) caused 
by TV/furniture instability. Of child fatalities, 72 percent involved 
TV tip-over, and 24 percent furniture tip-over.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To address the hazard associated with TV/furniture tip-overs, as 
early as 2015, CPSC implemented an information and education campaign 
called, ``Anchor It!'' that stressed the importance of safely and 
securely mounting TVs and furniture to walls with a goal of reducing 
the number of injuries and deaths due to TV/furniture tip-over.\2\ CPSC 
seeks, through the proposed survey, to evaluate consumer awareness or 
recognition of the ``Anchor It!'' campaign, consumer comprehension of 
the risks and remedies of TV/furniture tip over and anchoring, and 
consumer behavior and attitude change from the ``Anchor It!'' campaign.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ https://www.cpsc.gov/Safety-Education/Safety-Education-Centers/Tipover-Information-Center/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed survey will collect data from a sample of 
approximately 600 parent and non-parent caregivers of children ages 0-5 
years to assess their current behaviors about anchoring furniture and/
or televisions in homes, their attitudes and beliefs about anchoring, 
their knowledge of the CPSC and the ``Anchor It!'' campaign, and their 
intentions about anchoring in the future. The proposed survey consists 
of a highly varied national sample. The proposed survey data will 
enable CPSC to assess individuals' existing knowledge of anchoring 
furniture and televisions, and inform recommendations on how to modify 
the ``Anchor It!'' campaign to better target and educate parents and 
non-parent caregivers. Findings that arise from the proposed survey may 
also be used by CPSC in designing future studies.
    CPSC has entered into a contract with Fors Marsh Group (FMG) to 
conduct the proposed survey and collect the data. The National Opinion 
Research Center (NORC) will program and administer the final survey 
over the internet. NORC will contact participants electronically via 
email. The proposed survey will be administered using a secure online 
platform and the results from the proposed survey will be accessible 
only

to authorized personnel. Following data collection, FMG will summarize 
the results and provide a final report along with the dataset to CPSC 
staff.

B. Burden Hours

    The proposed survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. 
We estimate the number of respondents to be 600. We estimate the total 
annual burden hours for respondents to be 200 hours. The monetized 
hourly cost is $36.22, as defined by the average total hourly cost to 
employers for employee compensation for employees across all 
occupations as of June 2018, reported by the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics. The total cost burden is estimated to be $7,244 (200 hours 
x $36.22). The total cost to the federal government for the contract to 
design and conduct the proposed survey is $210,112.

C. Request for Comments

    CPSC invites comments on these topics:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of CPSC's functions, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
     The accuracy of CPSC's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
     Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.
