Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act charges the Bureau with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating to the Bureau’s mission including consumer behavior, consumer awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial products and services. To improve its understanding of how consumers engage with financial markets, the Bureau has used the Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a proprietary sample dataset from one of the national credit reporting agencies, as a frame to survey people about their experiences in consumer credit markets.

Surveys conducted under this generic information collection plan will support the Bureau’s mission to conduct research in areas related to consumer finance including research to monitor developments in consumers’ financial situations, related changes in their use of financial products, and the impacts that these decisions have on their balance sheets. All research under this plan will be for general, formative, and informational research on consumer financial markets and consumers’ use of financial products and will not directly provide the basis for specific policymaking at the Bureau.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Introduction The Value per Statistical Life (VSL) is a widely used parameter in cost-benefit analysis, including regulatory analysis, which represents an individual’s willingness to pay for reducing their risk of fatality. VSL values a reduction of fatality risk in monetary terms to be used for cost-benefit analysis. VSL is not an attempt to place a value on any individual life. Instead, government economists typically apply VSL in regulatory analysis to measure the welfare impact of policies that reduce or increase fatalities. The CPSC’s Directorate for Economic Analysis (EC) is responsible for conducting all economic analyses for the agency, which includes regulatory analysis. Regulatory analysis may include a cost-benefit analysis of a PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 proposed regulation. EC regularly uses VSL in its regulatory analyses of CPSC regulations. While the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and some executive branch agencies and departments have published guidelines on the application of VSL for their purposes,1 CPSC is not subject to those guidelines. This NOA describes proposed guidelines for CPSC staff on the application of VSL for cost-benefit analysis, and in particular for the Commission’s regulatory analysis.2 Specifically, the draft guidance will establish for CPSC staff a standard source for estimating VSL as well as guidelines for adjusting VSL for inflation, changes in real income (i.e., controlling for inflation), sensitivity analysis, and discounting. Among other elements, the proposed draft guidance document prescribes a VSL estimate specifically for children. Government economists often apply VSL uniformly to all fatalities that fall within the scope of the regulation being assessed. This approach has the advantage of simplicity. However, it systematically underestimates benefits for regulations that reduce fatality risk to children. It is widely observed that society prioritizes the safety of children and invests significantly in child safety. Examples include the large investments made on child safety such as the babyproofing industry,3 safety caps on overthe-counter medicines,4 and the certifications and licensing required for daycare centers and schools to promote child safety. Consistent with this, 1 The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) all recommend default VSL estimates in their official guidelines. The Office of Management and Budget provides general best practice guidance (OMB Circular A–4) to Federal executive branch agencies on regulatory analysis, including discussion of issues related to estimating VSL. While Circular A–4 recommends avoiding ageadjustment factors due to mixed evidence on age and VSL, it should be noted that since OMB published Circular A–4 (September 2003) 20 years ago, there has been new research studying an ageadjustment factor for children’s VSL, including Robinson et al. (2019). 2 The Commission voted 4–0 to approve publication of this notice.
