FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert H. Squibb, Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, 4330 East West 

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 

504–7815, or by email to: rsquibb@

cpsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), 

authorizes the Commission to conduct 

studies and investigations relating to the 

causes and prevention of deaths, 

accidents, injuries, illnesses, other 

health impairments, and economic 

losses associated with consumer 

products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that the 

Commission may conduct research, 

studies and investigations on the safety 

of consumer products or test consumer 

products and develop product safety 

test methods and testing devices. 

To help identify and evaluate 

product-related incidents, Commission 

staff invites and obtains direct feedback 

from consumers on issues related to 

product safety, such as recall 

effectiveness, product use, and 

perceptions regarding safety issues. By 

convening focus groups to provide 

information regarding use of a specific 

consumer product or class of consumer 

products, including recalled products, 

CPSC has collected valuable 

information. For example, Commission 

staff has used focus groups to assess 

consumers’ behavior related to product 

recalls, pool and spa safety, the 

Consumer Product Safety Risk 

Management System, recreational offroad vehicle restraint systems, and 

cpsc.gov Web site redesign. 

The information that the CPSC 

collects from future focus groups will 

help inform the Commission’s 

identification and evaluation of 

consumer products and product use, by 

providing insight and information into 

consumer perceptions and usage 

patterns. In some cases, one-on-one 

interviews may be conducted as a more 

in-depth extension of a focus group or 

in place of a traditional focus group. 

This information may also assist the 

Commission in its efforts to support 

voluntary standards activities and help 

CPSC identify consumer safety issues 

requiring additional research. In 

addition, based on the information 

obtained, CPSC may be able to provide 

safety information to the public that is 

easier to read and understood by a 

wider range of consumers. 

B. Burden Hours 

1. Respondents 

The CPSC seeks the proposed 

extension of approval of a collection of 

information for consumer focus groups 

that may be conducted by the CPSC over 

the next three years. Staff estimates that 

over the 3-year period of this request, 

the Commission will conduct up to 20 

focus groups, with 10 persons each, and 

10 one-on-one interviews for a variety of 

projects. The total hours of burden to 

the respondents are (an estimated 4 

hours per person for each focus group 

× 200 participants) + (an estimated 30 

minutes per person for each individual 

interview × 10 participants) = 1,100 

hours (367 hours per year for 3 years). 

The total annual cost is estimated at 

1,100 × $31.16 (U.S. Department of 

Labor, Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation, September 2013) = 

$34,276 ($11,425.33 per year for 3 

years). 

2. Federal Government 

The total cost of this collection to the 

federal government is estimated at 

approximately $140,000. This 

represents nine months of staff time 

annually. This sum includes anticipated 

travel costs expended for meeting with 

contractors and contracts for conducting 

focus groups or one-on-one interviews 

as well as salaries and benefits 

($129,419). This estimate uses an annual 

total compensation of $119,238 (the 

equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5 employee), 

with an additional 30.9 percent added 

for benefits (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ September 

2013, Table 1, percentage of wages and 

salaries for all civilian management, 

professional, and related employees), for 

a total annual compensation of 

$172,559. 

C. Requests for Comments 

The Commission invites comments on 

the proposed collection of information, 

including: 

• 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.
