Open Meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance, 8834-8835 [2021-02638]

Download as PDF 8834 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES • Section 405, Impaired Driving Countermeasures, Motorcyclist Safety and Nonmotorized Grants: 52 (fifty States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico). The estimated burden hours for the assessment part of the collection of information are based on the average number of State assessments that are carried out each year in each of the covered grant areas: 5 There are 9 assessments planned for the Section 405 Occupant Protection grants, 14 assessments for the Section 405 Traffic safety information system improvement grants and 4 assessments for the Section 405 Impaired driving grant. Under the grant application and annual report requirements, we estimate that it will take each respondent approximately 240 hours to collect, review and submit the required information to NHTSA for the Section 402 program (200 burden hours for grant applications and 40 hours for annual reports). We further estimate that it will take each respondent approximately 180 hours to collect, review and submit the required information to NHTSA for the Section 405 program. For traffic safety information system improvement grants, we estimate that it takes 123 hours to respond to questions under the assessment. For occupant protection and impaired driving countermeasures grants, we estimate that it takes 80 hours to provide the required information and respond to questions under an assessment. Based on the above information, the estimated annual burden hours for all State respondents is 26,522 hours. NHTSA estimates the labor cost associated with respondents preparing application materials using the estimated average wage for ‘‘Management Analysts,’’ Occupation Code 13–1111. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the average hourly wage for management analysts in State and local government is $31.95.6 The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that wages for State and local government workers represent 61.8% of total compensation costs.7 Therefore, NHTSA estimates the hourly labor costs to be $51.70 and estimates that hourly labor cost associated with preparing materials to be $24,056 per respondent. 5 Assessment average is based on the total number of assessments conducted each year and divided by the number of years since the inception of assessment requirements for certain grants under MAP–21, Public Law 112–141. 6 See May 2019 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 336100—Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ naics4_999200.htm (accessed January 6, 2021). 7 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:07 Feb 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 If all eligible States applied for and received grants for all programs (and including the annual number of assessment responses required from States), the total labor costs on all respondents would be $1,855,099. These estimates are based on every eligible respondent submitting the required information for every available grant. However, not all States apply for and receive a grant each year under each of these programs. In addition, under Section 405 grants, some requirements permit States to submit a single application covering multiple years allowing States to simply recertify in subsequent years. In addition to the burden hours for State respondents, this information collection also involves burden hours for subject matter experts who assess the States and burden hours for administrative assistants. For occupant protection and impaired driving assessments it is estimated that assessors spend approximately 80 hours of work on each assessment, based on the following assumptions: 46 hours for the interviews and panel discussions and 34 hours for pre- and postassessment activities, to include reviewing: (1) Briefing book materials; (2) resources on the State Highway Safety Office’s website, and (3) reviewing comments and/or suggestions submitted from the State after their review of the assessment final report.The honorarium the State pays to each team member is $2,700, which translates to $33.75 per hour. An administrative assistant works approximately 46 hours for the interviews and panel discussions and 18 hours for pre- and post-assessment activities, to include coordinating logistics, assisting team members and editing the document. The honorarium for this position is $2,100 (which translates to $32.80 per hour). The cost for traffic records assessments is based on the honorarium that NHTSA pays each assessor. NHTSA pays each assessor $2,100 for their time and NHTSA estimates that each assessor spends approximately 16 hours for the assessment, or $131.25 per hour. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total burden hours for this information collection request is 44,826 hours and the associated labor costs is estimated to be $2,440,089. Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $422,500 In addition to the cost of states in conjunction with the assessments, there are other costs involved related to conducting the event such as subject matter expert stipend, travel and per PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 diem. These costs are approximately $32,500 per occupant protection and impaired driving assessment. For the thirteen planned assessments, the cost is estimated to be $422,500.
