Download as PDF 56456 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2019 / Notices extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Title: Energy Labeling Rule. OMB Control Number: 3084–0069. Type of Review: Extension without change of currently approved collection. Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 478,000 hours (rounded). The estimated hours burden imposed by Section 324 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 and the Commission’s Rule includes burden for testing (354,802 hours); reporting (1,828 hours); recordkeeping (1,019 hours); labeling (108,864 hours); retail and online catalog disclosures (6,800 hours); and online label posting (4,533 hours). The total burden for these activities is 478,000 hours (rounded to the nearest thousand). Testing: 354,802 hours and $10,065,733 in associated labor costs. Reporting: 1,828 hours and $29,687 in associated labor costs. Recordkeeping: 1,019 hours and $16,549 in associated labor costs. Labeling: 108,864 hours and $1,767,951 in associated labor costs. Online and catalog disclosures: 6,800 hours and $110,432 in associated labor costs. Online label posting: 4,533 hours and $73,616 in associated labor costs. The total estimated burden is 478,000 hours (rounded) and $12,063,968 in associated labor costs. Commission staff estimates that the Energy Labeling Rule imposes negligible capital or other nonlabor costs, as affected entities are likely to have already invested in the necessary supplies and equipment to comply with the associated information collection provisions. Manufacturers that elect to submit required reports to the Commission directly (rather than electronically or through trade associations) would incur some nominal costs for paper and postage. Staff estimates that these costs do not exceed $2,500. Manufacturers must also incur the cost of procuring labels used in compliance with the Rule. Staff estimates the cost associated with procuring labels by covered entities is approximately $5,670,000. Request for Comment: On June 24, 2019, the Commission sought comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Energy Labeling Rule. 84 FR 29515. One comment was received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB approval to renew the preexisting clearance for those information collection requirements.

This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). The NVDRS is designed to continue collection of detailed and timely state-based surveillance data on violent deaths. DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 23, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help: 1. Evaluate 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. Evaluate 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. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses. 5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description Violence is an important public health problem. In the United States, PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56457 suicide and homicide are the second and third leading causes of death, respectively, in the 1–34 year-old age group. Unfortunately, public health agencies do not know much more about the problem than the numbers and the sex, race, and age of the victims, or information obtainable from the standard death certificate. Death certificates, however, carry no information about key facts necessary for prevention, such as the relationship of the victim and suspect and the circumstances of the deaths. Furthermore, death certificates are typically available 20 months after the completion of a single calendar year. Official publications of national violent death rates, e.g. those in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, rarely use data that is less than two years old. Local and Federal criminal justice agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) provide slightly more information about homicides, but they do not routinely collect standardized data about suicides, which are, in fact, much more common than homicides. The FBI’s Supplemental Homicide Report (SHR) does collect basic information about the victim-suspect relationship and circumstances related to the homicide. SHRs, do not link violent deaths that are part of one incident such as homicide-suicides. However, it is a voluntary system in which some 10–20 percent of police departments nationwide do not participate. The FBI’s National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) provides slightly more information than SHRs, but it covers less of the country. NIBRS also only provides data regarding homicides. The Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports do not use data that is less than two years old. The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a state-based surveillance system developed to monitor the occurrence of violent deaths (i.e., homicide, suicide, undetermined deaths, and unintentional firearm deaths) in the United States (U.S.) by collecting comprehensive, detailed, useful, and timely data from multiple sources (e.g., death certificates, coroner/ medical examiner reports, law enforcement reports) into a useable, anonymous database. In 2018, the NVDRS expanded by adding 10 new states. Now, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico participate in the system. CDC requests OMB approval in order to revise its statebased surveillance system for violent deaths that will allow it to collect more detailed and timely information. The E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM 22OCN1
