A. Background
Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product
Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), requires
the Commission to collect information
related to the causes and prevention of
death, injury, and illness associated
with consumer products. That section
also requires the Commission to
conduct continuing studies and
investigations of deaths, injuries,
diseases, other health impairments, and
economic losses resulting from
accidents involving consumer products.
The Commission obtains information
about product-related deaths, injuries,
and illnesses from a variety of sources,
including newspapers, death
certificates, consumer complaints, and
medical facilities. In addition, the
Commission receives information
through its Internet Web site through
forms reporting on product-related
injuries or incidents.
The Commission also operates a
surveillance system known as the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS) that provides timely
data on consumer product-related
injuries treated as well as U.S.
childhood poisonings. NEISS data
comes from a statistically valid sample
from approximately 100 hospital
emergency departments. The NEISS
system has been in operation since

VerDate Mar<15>2010

18:32 May 06, 2013

Jkt 229001

1971. NEISS emergency department
records are reviewed by hospital
employees or contractors (NEISS
coders).
From these sources, Commission staff
selects cases of interest for further
investigation by face-to-face or
telephone interviews with persons who
witnessed, or were injured in, incidents
involving consumer products. On-site
investigations are usually made in cases
where Commission staff needs
photographs of the incident site, the
product involved, or detailed
information about the incident. This
information can come from face-to-face
interviews with persons who were
injured or who witnessed the incident,
as well as contact with state and local
officials, including police, coroners, and
fire investigators, and others with
knowledge of the incident.
The Commission uses the information
to support the development and
improvement of voluntary standards;
rulemaking proceedings; information
and education campaigns; compliance
and enforcement efforts and related
administrative and judicial proceedings.
Commission activities are, in many
cases, data driven, and incident data is
crucial in advancing the agency’s
mission.
OMB approved the collection of
information concerning product-related
injuries under control number 3041–
0029. OMB’s most recent extension of
approval will expire on July 31, 2013.
The Commission now proposes to
request an extension of approval of this
collection of information.
B. NEISS Estimated Burden
The NEISS system collects
information on consumer-product
related injuries from about 100 hospitals
in the U.S. Respondents to NEISS
include hospitals that directly report
information to NEISS, and hospitals that
allow CPSC contractors to collect the
data on behalf of the agency. In FY
2012, there were a maximum of 150
NEISS contracts (total hospitals and
CPSC contractors). NEISS coders collect
and review all emergency records daily
or weekly. During that year, NEISS
coders reviewed an estimated 4.6
million emergency department records
and reported approximately 400,000
consumer-product related injuries, of
which 5,100 were childhood poisoningrelated injuries. Each record takes
approximately 15 seconds to review.
Coding and reporting records that
involve consumer product related
injuries takes approximately 2.5
minutes per record. NEISS coders also
spend about 36 hours per year in related
activities (training, evaluations, and

PO 00000

Frm 00009

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

26619

communicating with doctors and nurses
if more detailed information is needed).
The total burden hours for collecting,
reviewing and coding incident records
and reports during FY 2012 are
estimated to be 41,300. The average
burden hour per hospital for FY 2012 is
approximately 430 hours; however, the
total burden hour on each hospital
varies due to differences in size of the
hospital (e.g., small rural hospitals
versus large metropolitan hospitals). For
example, the smallest hospital reported
approximately 150 cases with a burden
of about 50 hours, while the largest
hospital reported more than 17,500
cases with a burden of almost 1,400
hours.
The total contract costs for NEISS in
FY 2012 are $1.7 million. Based on FY
2012 data, the average cost per
respondent is estimated to be about
$17,600. The average cost per burden
hour is estimated to be $41 per hour
(including wages and overhead);
however, the actual cost to each
respondent varies due to the type of
respondent (hospital versus CPSC
contractor), size of hospital, and
regional differences in wages and
overhead. Thus, the actual annual cost
for any given respondent may vary
between $1,000 at a small rural hospital
and $78,000 at a large metropolitan
hospital.
C. Other Burden Hours
In cases that require more information
regarding product-related incidents or
injuries, the staff conducted face-to-face
interviews of approximately 550
persons during FY 2012. Such
interviews may take place with the
injured party, or a witness to the
incident. On average, each on-site
interview took about 4.5 hours. In FY
2012 Commission staff also conducted
about 3700 in-depth investigations by
telephone from the injured party or, in
the case of a minor, the parents or
guardian. Each such in-depth telephone
investigation required approximately 20
minutes. Based on the FY 2012 data,
staff estimates that this collection of
information imposes a total annual
hourly burden of 3,708 hours on all
respondents: 2,475 hours for face-to-face
interviews and 1,233 hours for in-depth
telephone interviews. Commission staff
estimates the value of the time required
for reporting is $27.12 an hour (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
December 2012, Table 9, Total
compensation for all sales and office
workers in goods-producing industries:
http://www.bls.gov/ncs). At this
valuation, the estimated annual cost of

E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM

07MYN1

26620

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 7, 2013 / Notices

the burden hours to the public is about
$100,570.
This request for the approval of an
estimated 45,008 (41,300 NEISS and
3,708 other) burden hours per year is a
decrease of 4,697 hours since this
collection of information was last
approved by OMB in 2009. This
decrease is due, in part, to the increased
proportion of investigations being
conducted by phone rather than on-site.
In addition, to avoid duplication, this
information collection request excludes
the burden now associated with other
publicly available Consumer Product
Safety Information Databases, such as
Internet complaints, Hotline, and the
Medical Examiner and Coroners Alert
Project reports. These information
collections have been approved by OMB
and are now collected under OMB
Control No. 3041–0146.
The annual cost to the government of
the information collection is estimated
to be $3.3 million a year. This estimate
includes approximately $1.7 million in
contract costs to NEISS respondents
(based on FY 2012 data). This estimate
also includes $1.6 million for
approximately 160 Commission staff
months each year. The estimate of staff
months includes the time required to
oversee NEISS operations (e.g.,
administration, training, quality
control); conduct face-to-face and
telephone interviews; and evaluate
responses. Each month of professional
staff time costs the Commission about
$10,175. This is based on a GS–12 midlevel salaried employee. The average
yearly wage rate for a mid-level salaried
GS–12 employee in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area (effective as of
January 2011) is $84,855 (GS–12, step
5). This represents 69.5 percent of total
compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,’’ December
2012, Table 1, percentage of wages and
salaries for all civilian management,
professional, and related employees:
http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding an
additional 30.5 percent for benefits
brings average yearly compensation for
a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee to
$122,094.
