Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously approved the 
collection of information under control number 3041-0151. OMB's most

Commission will consider all comments received in response to this 
notice before requesting an extension of this collection of information 
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to extend the following currently 
approved generic collection of information:
    Title: Contests, Challenges, and Awards.
    OMB Number: 3041-0151.
    Type of Review: Extension of generic collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Contestants, award nominees, award nominators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: We estimate that there will be 500 
contest or award participants each year. In addition, 20 participants 
may be required to provide additional information upon selection.
    Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time to complete a 
contest or award submission is 5 hours per participant. In addition, 
the 20 participants expected to provide additional information upon 
selection will require approximately 2 additional hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on CPSC's estimates that there 
will be 500 participants who each require 5 hours to complete their 
submissions, and that 20 participants will be asked to provide 
additional information that will take two hours to complete, CPSC 
estimates that the total annual burden of this collection is 2,540 
hours. The annualized cost to respondents for the information 
collection is approximately $109,880 (2,540 hours x $43.26/hr), as 
estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau 
of Labor Statistics.\1\

    General Description of Collection: The Commission establishes 
contests, challenges, and awards to increase the public's knowledge and 
awareness of safety hazards. The Commission also recognizes through 
awards certain individuals, firms, and organizations that work to 
address issues related to consumer product safety. The information to 
be collected from contestants and award nominees or nominators includes 
contact and background information necessary to conduct a contest or 
award program. Limited background or biographical information similar 
to data found on a resume, such as a nominee's education and work 
experience, may be requested for some contests or awards. Additionally, 
substantive entries such as essays, posters, drawings, or videos may be 
requested for contestants and award nominees.
    Request for Comments: The Commission solicits written comments from 
all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. 
The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the 
following topics:
     whether the collection of information described above is 
necessary for the proper performance of the Commission'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; and
     whether the burden imposed by the collection of 
information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other 
technological collection techniques, or other forms of information 
technology.
