Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 3084–0169. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Businesses and other for-profit entities. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

452,318 hours. 

Estimated Annual Labor Costs:

Discussion 

Pursuant to its Rules of Practice, the 

Commission collects information to 

carry out its administrative 

responsibilities. Any person, 

partnership, or corporation may request 

advice from the Commission or FTC 

staff regarding a course of action the 

requester contemplates. The 

Commission’s rules require requesters to 

provide the information necessary to 

facilitate resolution of the requests, 

including information on the question 

to be resolved, the identity of the 

companies or persons involved, and 

other material facts. See FTC Rule 1.2, 

16 CFR 1.2. The FTC’s ethics regulations 

require former employees who are 

seeking ethical clearance to participate 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
1972 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2021 / Notices 

in FTC matters to submit screening 

affidavits to facilitate resolution of their 

requests. See FTC Rule 4.1(b), 16 CFR 

4.1(b). Requests to participate must 

include, among other things, a 

description of the proceeding in which 

participation is contemplated; the name 

of the Commission office or division in 

which the former employee was 

employed and the position the 

employee occupied; and a statement 

whether, while employed by the 

Commission, the former employee 

participated in any proceeding or 

investigation concerning the same 

company, individual, or industry 

currently involved in the matter in 

question. These requirements prevent 

the improper use of confidential 

nonpublic information acquired while 

working at the FTC. The Commission’s 

Rules of Practice also authorize outside 

parties to request employee testimony, 

through compulsory process or 

otherwise, and to request documentary 

material through compulsory process in 

cases or matters to which the agency is 

not a party. See FTC Rule 4.11(e), 16 

CFR 4.11(e). These rules require persons 

seeking testimony or material from the 

Commission to submit a statement in 

support of the request setting forth the 

party’s interest in the case or matter, the 

relevance of the desired testimony or 

material, and a discussion of whether it 

is reasonably available from other 

sources. 

The Commission receives 

approximately 55 such requests 

annually. Staff estimates respondents 

will incur, on average, approximately 2 

hours of burden to submit a request, 

resulting in a cumulative 110 burden 

hours per year (55 requests × 2 burden 

hours). Based on an estimated average 

wage of $145/hour for executive and 

attorney wages, staff estimates a total 

annual cost burden of $15,950 (110 

hours × $145). Staff estimates that 

requesters would incur no capital, startup, operation, maintenance, or other 

similar costs associated with submitting 

covered requests. 

The FTC also allows consumers to 

report fraud, identity theft, National Do 

Not Call Registry violations, and other 

violations of law through telephone 

hotlines and three online consumer 

report forms. Consumers may call a 

hotline phone number or log on to the 

FTC’s website to report violations using 

the applicable reporting forms. The 

provision of this information is 

voluntary. The FTC also conducts 

customer satisfaction surveys regarding 

the support that the Commission’s 

Consumer Response Center provides to 

consumers to obtain information about 

the overall effectiveness of the call 

center and online complaint intake 

forms. This information assists Bureau 

of Consumer Protection staff in carrying 

out the agency’s consumer protection 

mission. The FTC is also mandated by 

Congress under the Identity Theft and 

Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998, 18 

U.S.C. 1001 et seq., to serve as the 

central clearinghouse for identity theft 

complaints. 

The time necessary to file a consumer 

report or participate in related customer 

satisfaction surveys will vary. FTC staff 

estimates that approximately 7,750,841 

respondents will submit information 

pursuant to these processes and that the 

associated burden will be 452,131 hours 

per year over the course of the threeyear clearance. The cost per respondent 

to file a complaint is negligible. 

Participation is voluntary and will not 

require any labor expenditures by 

respondents. In addition, there are no 

capital, start-up, operation, 

maintenance, or other similar costs for 

respondents. 

The FTC also conducts evaluations of 

its competition advocacy program and 

the effectiveness of its merger 

divestiture orders. The FTC’s 

Competition Advocacy Program draws 

on the Commission’s expertise in 

competition and consumer protection 

matters to encourage federal and state 

legislatures, courts, and other state and 

federal agencies to consider the effects 

of proposed actions on consumers and 

competition. Statutory authority for the 

advocacy program is found in part in 

sections 6(a) and (f) of the FTC Act. 15 

U.S.C. 46(a) and (f). The FTC’s Office of 

Policy and Planning evaluates the 

effectiveness of these advocacy 

comments by sending questionnaires to 

selected comment recipients. FTC staff 

sends questionnaires to approximately 

20 respondents per year. FTC staff 

estimates that, on average, respondents 

will need 15 minutes or less to complete 

a questionnaire, yielding a cumulative 

burden of 5 burden hours (20 

respondents per year × 15 minutes per 

respondent). FTC staff estimates an 

hourly labor cost of $100 for the time 

spent by survey participants (primarily, 

staff at state and federal agencies or 

members of federal and state legislatures 

and their staff). Thus, staff estimates a 

total labor cost of $25 for each response 

(15 minutes × $100 per hour). This 

yields a cumulative yearly labor costs 

will be approximately $500 (20 

respondents × $25 per response). FTC 

staff estimates that respondents would 

incur no capital, start-up, operation, 

maintenance, or other similar costs for 

respondent to these questionnaires. 

Following an order of divestiture in a 

merger matter, the FTC’s Bureau of 

Competition’s Compliance Division 

conducts brief calls with acquirers of 

divested assets to assess the 

effectiveness of these divestitures. The 

Commission issues, on average, 15–17 

orders in merger cases per year that 

require divestitures or other remedies. 

For interviews with purchasers of 

divested assets, each interview typically 

takes less than one hour to complete. 

FTC staff estimates that it takes each 

participant no more than one hour to 

prepare for the interview. Accordingly, 

staff estimates that, for each interview, 

two individuals (typically a company 

executive and an attorney) will devote 

two hours each (one hour preparing and 

one hour participating) to responding to 

questions for a total of four hours. 

Assuming that staff evaluates 

approximately 17 divestitures per year 

during the three-year clearance period, 

staff estimates that the total hours 

burden will be 68 hours per year (17 

divestiture reviews × 4 hours for 

preparing and participating). Staff may 

include approximately two monitor 

interviews a year, which would add at 

most 4 hours (2 interviews × 2 hours for 

preparing and participating). Interviews 

of monitors typically involve only the 

monitor and take approximately one 

hour to complete with no more than one 

hour to prepare for the interview. This 

yields a total burden of 72 burden hours 

per year. Staff estimates that the total 

annual labor cost, based on an estimated 

average of $145/hour for executive and 

attorney wages, would be $10,440 (72 

hours × $145). There are no capital, 

start-up, operation, maintenance, or 

other similar costs to respondents. 

Request for Comment 

Pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, the FTC invites comments on: 

(1) Whether the disclosure requirements 

are necessary, including whether the 

information will be practically useful; 

(2) the accuracy of our burden estimates, 

including whether the methodology and 

assumptions used are valid; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of 

providing the required information to 

consumers. All comments should be
