CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0056]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request—Safety
Standard for Bicycle Helmets
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (Commission or
CPSC) announces that the Commission
has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), a
request for extension of approval of a
collection of information associated
with the CPSC’s Safety Standard for
Bicycle Helmets (OMB No. 3041–0127).
In the Federal Register of May 8, 2014
(78 FR 26416), the CPSC published a
notice to announce the agency’s
intention to seek extension of approval
of the collection of information. The
Commission received one comment.
The commenter supported the record
keeping requirements for ensuring the
safety of bicycle helmets. The
commenter also stated that two
revisions to the test method (impact
ceiling and positional stability) should
be made to the standard. The request to
revise the test method of the standard is
outside the scope of the proposed
renewal request. The renewal request
sought comments on the burden hours
associated with recordkeeping
requirements in the safety standard.
However, the comment has been
forwarded to the CPSC’s Office of
Hazard Identification and Reduction.
Therefore, by publication of this notice,
the Commission announces that CPSC

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
ACTION:

Notice.

The Department of Defense
has submitted to OMB for clearance, the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by August 28, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred
Licari, 571–372–0493.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title, Associated Form and OMB
Number: Research Performance Progress
Report (RPPR); OMB Number: 0704–
TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 4,000.
Average Burden per Response: 6
hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 24,000.
Needs and Uses: DoD research grants
and cooperative agreements require
recipients to periodically report on
progress made towards achieving the
objectives of their awards, and to
document accomplishments and
identify reasons for failure to meet
planned objectives. This periodic
reporting is required by section 32.51 of
32 CFR part 32, the DoD
implementation of OMB Circular A–
110. In April 2010, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
Office of Science and Technology
(OSTP) issued a policy memorandum to
the heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies on usage of a new format—the
Research Performance Progress Report
(RPPR)—for doing interim progress
reporting (e.g., annual reports during the
award performance period, other than
the final report that is due after the end
of that period). The information
collection requirement under this
Notice is part of the Department’s
SUMMARY:

Frm 00013

Fmt 4703

implementation of the RPPR, usage of
which will consolidate interim progress
reporting requirements of the multiple
DoD offices that award research grants
and cooperative agreements. DoD’s
implementation of the RPPR will:
• Make DoD research offices’
requirements for grants and cooperative
agreements more uniform with each
other, as each office has historically
specified its reporting requirements
separately from other awarding offices.
• Make DoD offices’ reporting
requirements more common with those
of other Federal agencies that make
research awards, as each of them
implements the guidance from OMB
and OSTP.
• Enable broadening of RPPR usage to
basic research contracts awarded by
DoD offices, any of which may adopt the
RPPR format for basic research contract
progress reporting in lieu of their
existing basic research contract
reporting requirements. This will
benefit entities having both research
grant and contract awards, and is
consistent with the joint OMB and
OSTP policy memorandum.
Affected Public: Colleges and
universities, nonprofit organizations,
business and industry.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet
Seehra.
Written comments and
recommendations on the proposed
information collection should be sent to
Ms. Jasmeet Seehra at the Office of
Management and Budget, Desk Officer
for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
You may also submit comments,
identified by docket number and title,
by the following method:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://

instructions for submitting comments.
Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name, docket

Register document. The general policy
for comments and other submissions
from members of the public is to make
these submissions available for public
viewing on the Internet at http://
