We estimate the annualized cost to the CPSC of $958,533, by adding the four categories of work related to the Database summarized in Tables 4 through 7 (Reports of Harm ($789,459) + MII Claims ($79,632) + Manufacturer Comments ($13,320) + Small Batch Identification ($76,122) = $958,533). This information collection renewal request is based on an estimated 7,024 burden hours per year for the Database, which represents a decrease of 6,319 hours since this collection of information was last approved by OMB in 2019. Total burden from reports of harm decreased by 4,647 hours (from 6,546 to 1,899), and total burden for manufacturer’s submission decreased by 1,672 hours, from 6,797 to 5,125. Declines in total burden hours are attributed to a decline in the number of reports of harm submitted by mail, email, and fax. However, CPSC staff discovered that the 2019 update for this control number contained an error that increased the estimated burden, by inadvertently including a large number of death certificates collected by CPSC staff in the reports of harm submitted by mail, email, and fax. In addition, for this update there was a decrease in small batch manufacturer activity. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 D. Request for Comments The CPSC solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The CPSC specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics: • Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the CPSC’s functions, including whether the information would have practical utility. • Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate. • Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced. • Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by using automated, electronic, or other technological VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Dec 07, 2022 Jkt 259001 collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
