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.

Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission.

**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.

**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 for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

You may also submit comments, identified by docket number and title, by the following method:

**Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;**  **Comment Request; Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of**  **Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery** 

**AGENCY :**  DoD, Office of the Secretary, Washington Headquarters Service (WHS), Enterprise Management.

**ACTION :**  30-Day notice of submission of information collection approval from the Office of Management and Budget and request for comments.

**SUMMARY :**  As part of an effort to streamline the process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, WHS has submitted a Generic Information Collection Request (Generic ICR): ‘‘Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery—the Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) System’’ to OMB for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

**DATES :**  Comments must be submitted August 28, 2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Fred Licari, 571–372–0493.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery—the Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) System.

Abstract: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate,methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.

The Agency did not receive any comments in response to the 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2014 (79 FR 30562).

Current Actions: Processing Revision as Fast Track Generic.

Type of Review: Revision. Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
