Justification for Increase in total hours and responses

Justification for Change in the Focus Group Generic budget for total burden hours and responses

In order to accommodate several planned CPSC focus groups and to not inhibit the CPSC’s ability to learn more about consumer interactions with and comprehension of product hazardards, the Agency requests an increase in focus group budget hours and total responses. We request an increase of 650 responses for a total of 1,300 responses and an increase of 950 hours for a total of 2,900 hours. The elevated generic burden budget will subsequently be reduced next renewal cycle, at which time we will decrease the total responses and hours by the number of information collections that are no longer needed.
