SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to extend the following currently approved generic collection of information: Title: Child Strength Study. OMB Number: 3041–0187. Type of Review: Extension of generic collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Child participants and their caregivers. Estimated Number of Respondents: We estimate 5,210 people will be invited for the study and 1,563 initial respondents will complete screening. Out of the initial respondents, 563 are expected to be screened out or not expected to ultimately participate after the invitation for study. We estimate that there will be 1,000 participants for the lab portion of the study. Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time to complete a study session is 2 hours per participant. This does not account for the time for inviting and screening participants via phone conversations with the caregiver, which is additional 12 minutes per respondent. Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on CPSC’s estimates that 5,210 people will be invited for the study (3 minutes per invite), 1,563 initial respondents will complete screening (9 minutes per screening) and there will be 1,000 participants for the lab portion of the study (2 hours to complete each study session), CPSC estimates that the total burden of this collection is 2,267 hours. The average annual burden is approximately 756 hours; however, because of study timing and efficiency, a single year could have up to 1,850 burden hours. There are no costs to respondents and no respondent recordkeeping requirements associated with the study. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Oct 23, 2024 Jkt 265001 General Description of Collection: CPSC uses data on human strength and capabilities to develop product safety standards and to inform other CPSC staff activities. Strength capabilities of children are used to develop product performance requirements in standards to reduce or eliminate the risk such products might pose to a child (e.g., breaking, collapsing, or liberating a small part). The information to be collected from child participants ranging in age 3 months to 5 years includes contact and background information necessary to participate in a study to obtain child strength measures for upper and lower extremities and bite strength. Written consent is obtained from caregivers and verbal assent is obtained from children who are old enough to provide it. Researchers will obtain several standard anthropometric measurements from each child, including body weight and standing height. Researchers also record the participant’s body shape using a wholebody laser scanner (VITUS XXL) and a Microsoft Kinect sensor. 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. Alberta E. Mills, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.

    Abstract: Information Resource Information System (IRIS) is an 
online performance reporting system for grantees of International and 
Foreign Language Education (IFLE) programs. The site also allows for 
IFLE program officers to process overseas language requests, travel 
authorization requests, and grant activation requests. IRIS keeps a 
record of these requests and also of Foreign Language and Area Studies 
(FLAS) Fellowship recipients and grantee performance reports.
    The International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) office 
within the Office of Postsecondary Education, of the U.S. Department of 
Education (the Department) administers 11 institutional and fellowship 
grant programs authorized under title VI of the Higher Education Act 
and section 102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange 
Act, also known as Fulbright-Hays (F-H). The purpose of these programs 
is to strengthen the capability and performance of American education 
in foreign languages and in area and international studies.
    The International Resource Information System (IRIS) is an online 
database that is used for performance reporting by the grantees funded 
by these 11 programs. The purpose of IRIS is to provide a centralized 
and effective way of collecting, reporting, and analyzing annual 
performance data.
    This Information Collection Request is a revision of the previously 
approved IRIS information collection. The IFLE office underwent a 
strategic assessment of each program using the specific statute, 
regulations, and program purposes. Our assessment was guided by the 
following objectives: reduce the reporting burden for grantees; reduce 
the burden hours for IFLE staff to review APRs; and, increase the 
quality and usefulness of the data collected.
    The strategic assessment resulted in revisions to the program 
collections that will significantly reduce reporting burden across 
programs. We anticipate that the overall annual burden hours will be 
reduced by 64% from the previous collection clearance.
