Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2023 / Notices 58565 

1We updated this estimate from the June 20, 2023 

notice (88 FR 39833) to use the more recent March 

2023 Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

94.6 hours (4.73 hours × 20 prototypes) 

per establishment, per year. This 

translates to an estimated annual 

recordkeeping time cost to all mattress 

producers of 38,124 hours (94.6 hours × 

403 establishments). The hourly 

compensation for the time required for 

record keeping is $72.68 (for 

management, professional, and related 

occupations in goods-producing 

industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

March 2023).1 Accordingly, the annual 

total estimated cost for recordkeeping is 

approximately $2,770,852 (38,124 hours 

× $72.68 per hour). Pooling among 

establishments or using a prototype 

qualification for longer than 1 year will 

reduce the hours required and 

associated cost, however. 

The total estimated annual cost to the 

403 establishments for the burden hours 

associated with parts 1632 and 1633 is 

approximately $3.5 million ($761,541+ 

$2,770,852 = $3,532,393.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC 

seeks to renew the following currently 

approved collection of information: 

A. Background 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Number: 3041–0148. 

Type of Review: Renewal of 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households, businesses and 

organizations, state, local, or tribal 

government. 

Description of Collection: Executive 

Order 12862 (Sept. 11, 1993) encourages 

independent Federal agencies such as 

CPSC to provide service to the public 

that matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. To that 

end, CPSC seeks to renew OMB 

approval of a generic clearance to 

collect qualitative feedback on CPSC 

service delivery. Qualitative feedback 

means information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions 

but does not include statistical surveys 

that yield quantitative results that can 

be generalized to the population of 

study. This collection of information is 

necessary to enable CPSC to garner 

customer and stakeholder feedback in 

an efficient, timely manner, in 

accordance with CPSC’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. 

This feedback will provide insights 

into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences, and 

expectations; provide an early warning 

of issues with service; and help focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will also allow for ongoing, 

collaborative, and actionable 

communications between CPSC and its 

customers and stakeholders. 

B. Burden 

Estimated Burden: CPSC will use a 

variety of instruments and platforms to 

collect information from respondents. 

CPSC estimates the burden of the 

collection of information is as follows:

ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN

Type of collection Number of 

respondents 

Annual 

frequency per 

response 

Hours per 

response Total hours 

Qualitative Surveys (3) .................................................................................... 600 1 .25 150 

Focus Groups .................................................................................................. 200 1 4 800 

Customer Satisfaction Surveys (3) .................................................................. 600 1 .25 150 

Usability Tests ................................................................................................. 200 1 .5 100 

Based on the above numbers, the total 

estimated burden for surveys, focus 

groups, and usability tests combined is 

estimated to be 1,200 hours annually. 

The total burden hours requested, 3,600, 

are based on the number of collections 

CPSC expects to conduct over the 

requested period for this clearance 

(1,200 hours annually x 3 years). 

Assuming an hourly rate of $43.07 

(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

‘‘Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation,’’ All Civilian Workers, 

Total compensation, https://

www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ 

ecec_06162023.pdf, March 2023) the 

estimated total burden cost is $51,684 

annually. This collection has no 

associated operating, maintenance, or 

capital costs. 

If appropriate, CPSC will collect 

information electronically and/or use 

online collaboration tools to reduce 

burden. No similar data are gathered or 

maintained by CPSC, or available from 

other sources known to CPSC. 

Burden on Small Entities: Small 

businesses or other small entities may 

be involved in these efforts, but CPSC 

will minimize the burden of information 

collections approved under this 

clearance by sampling, asking for 

readily available information, and using 

short, easy-to-complete information 

collection instruments. 

Costs to Federal Government: The 

anticipated cost to the Federal 

Government is approximately $51,574 

annually. These costs are comprised of 

staff time for preparing questions, 

analyzing the responses, and conducting 

focus groups. CPSC estimates the total 

staff time could be four staff months 

annually. This is based on a GS–12 level 

salaried employee. The average annual 

wage rate for a mid-level salaried GS– 

12 employee in the Washington, DC 

metropolitan area (effective as of 

January 2023) is $106,759 (GS–12, step 

5). This represents 69.0 percent of total 

compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ March 2023, 

percentage of wages and salaries for all 

civilian employees, https://

www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ 

ecec_06162023.pdf). Adding an 

additional 31.0 percent for benefits 

brings average annual compensation for 

a mid-range salaried GS–12 employee to 

$154,723. Assuming that approximately 

four staff months will be required 

annually, this results in an annual 

estimated cost of $51,574. 

C. Request for Comments 

CPSC solicits written comments from 

all interested persons about the 

proposed collection of information. 

CPSC specifically solicits information 

relevant to the following topics: 

• Whether the collection of 

information described is necessary for 

the proper performance of CPSC’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.
