SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the 

CPSC has submitted the following 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for review and clearance. 

Consumer Opinion Forum (OMB 

Control Number 3041–0135— 

Extension). 

The Commission is authorized under 

section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 34 / Monday, February 22, 2010 / Notices 7569 

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

In order to better identify and 

evaluate the risks of product-related 

incidents, the Commission staff seeks to 

solicit consumer opinions and 

perceptions related to consumer product 

use, on a voluntary basis, through 

questions posted on the CPSC’s 

Consumer Opinion Forum. Through the 

forum, consumers will be able to answer 

questions and provide information 

regarding their experiences, opinions 

and/or perceptions on the use or pattern 

of use of a specific product or type of 

product. The Consumer Opinion Forum 

is intended for consumers, 18 years and 

older, who have access to the Internet 

and e-mail, who voluntarily register to 

participate through a participant 

registration process, and respond to the 

questions posted in the Consumer 

Opinion Forum. A link to the Consumer 

Opinion Forum login page is available 

on the CPSC Web site, http:// 

www.cpsc.gov. Consumers may link 

directly to the login page for the 

Consumer Opinion Forum at https:// 

www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/cof/login.aspx. 

When new questions are posted on the 

CPSC Web site, registered participants 

will be invited via e-mail to respond to 

various questions, but not more 

frequently than once every four weeks. 

The information collected from the 

Consumer Opinion Forum will help 

inform the Commission’s evaluation of 

consumer products and product use by 

providing insight and information into 

consumer perceptions and usage 

patterns. Such information also may 

help the Commission in its efforts to 

support voluntary standards activities 

and help the staff identify areas 

regarding consumer safety issues that 

need additional research. In addition, 

based on the information obtained, the 

staff may be able to provide safety 

information to the public that is easier 

to read and is more easily understood by 

a wider range of consumers. For 

example, the staff may be able to 

propose new language or revisions to 

existing language in warning labels or 

manuals if the staff finds that certain 

warning language is perceived by many 

participants to be unclear or subject to 

misinterpretation. Finally, the 

Consumer Opinion Forum may be used 

to invite consumer opinions and 

feedback regarding the effectiveness of 

product recall communications and in 

determining what action consumers are 

taking in response to such 

communications and why they are 

taking those actions. This may help 

tailor future recall activities to increase 

the success of those activities. If this 

information is not collected, the 

Commission would not have available 

useful information regarding consumer 

experiences, opinions, and perceptions 

related to specific product use, which 

the Commission relies on in its ongoing 

efforts to improve the safety of 

consumer products on behalf of 

consumers. 

In the Federal Register of November 

13, 2009 (74 FR 58610), the CPSC 

published a 60-day notice requesting 

public comment on the proposed 

collection of information. No comments 

were received. 

Burden Estimates: During the past two 

years, 2,300 individuals have registered 

to participate in the Consumer Opinion 

Forum. Although the registration is still 

open, the Commission staff does not 

expect the number of registrants will 

exceed 5,000 over the next few years. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

each respondent will take 10 minutes or 

less to complete the one-time 

registration process. Based on that 

estimate, the registration burden is 

estimated to have been approximately 

192 burden hours per year for 2,300 

registrants. 

The Commission staff further 

estimates that the amount of time 

required to respond to each set of 

questions on the Consumer Opinion 

Forum will be five minutes or less. The 

Commission staff foresees the 

possibility of up to four surveys per 

year. If, at the maximum, each 

respondent responds to four sets of 

questions in one year, the yearly burden 

would result in approximately 20 

minutes per year for each respondent. 

Based on an estimated 44 percent 

response rate for 2,300 potential 

respondents, the annual burden could 

total 337 hours. If as many as 5,000 

registrants respond, the Commission 

staff estimates that the annual burden 

could total approximately 733 hours per 

year (44 percent response rate for 5,000 

potential respondents at five minutes 

per survey for four surveys). 

The Commission staff estimates that 

the total estimated burden for new 

registrations and surveys, combined, 

will not exceed 925 hours annually (no 

more than 733 hours for four surveys 

per year, plus no more than 192 hours 

for new registrations). The Commission 

staff estimated the value of the time of 

respondents to this collection of 

information at $29.39 an hour. This is 

based on the 2009 U.S. Department of 

Labor Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation. At this valuation, the 

estimated annual cost to the public of 

this information collection will be 

approximately $27,000 per year. 

The Commission will expend 

approximately one month of 

professional staff time annually for 

preparing questions and analysis of 

responses for each survey. Assuming 

that four surveys will be conducted 

annually, (and four staff months) the 

total annual cost to the Federal 

government of the collection of 

information is estimated to be $55,360. 

Dated: February 16, 2010.

Commission.
