CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0056] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request—Safety 

Standard for Bicycle Helmets 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
44012 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 145 / Tuesday, July 29, 2014 / Notices 

has submitted to the OMB a request for

of information, without change. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

request for extension of approval of 

information collection requirements 

should be submitted by August 28,

approved collection of information to 

OMB for extension: 

Title: Safety Standard for Bicycle 

Helmets. 

OMB Number: 3041–0127. 

Type of Review: Renewal of 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers and 

importers of bicycle helmets. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 30 

manufacturers and importers will 

maintain test records of an estimated 

200 models total annually, including 

older models and new models. Testing 

on bicycle helmets must be conducted 

for each new production lot and the test 

records must be maintained for 3 years. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 200 

hours/model to test 40 models 

(including new prototypes), plus 4 

hours for recordkeeping for 200 models 

annually. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 

8,800 hours (8,000 hours for testing and 

800 hours for recordkeeping). 

General Description of Collection: In 

1998, the Commission issued a safety 

standard for bicycle helmets (16 CFR 

part 1203). The standard includes 

requirements for labeling and 

instructions. The standard also requires 

that manufacturers and importers of 

bicycle helmets subject to the standard 

issue certificates of compliance based 

on a reasonable testing program. Every 

person issuing certificates of 

compliance must maintain certain 

records. Respondents must comply with 

the requirements in 16 CFR part 1203 

for labeling and instructions, testing, 

certification, and recordkeeping.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID DoD–2013–OS–0169] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 

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
