# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CPSC seeks to extend the following currently approved generic collection of information:

*Title:*                     Contests, Challenges, and Awards.                

*OMB Number:*                     3041-0151.                

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of generic collection.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     On occasion.                

*Affected Public:*                     Contestants, award nominees, award nominators.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     We estimate that there will be 500 contest or award participants each year. In addition, 20 participants may be required to provide additional information upon selection.                

*Estimated Time per Response:*                     The estimated time to complete a contest or award submission is 5 hours per participant. In addition, the 20 participants expected to provide additional information upon selection will require approximately 2 additional hours.                

*Total Estimated Annual Burden:*                     Based on CPSC's estimates that there will be 500 participants who each require 5 hours to complete their submissions, and that 20 participants will be asked to provide additional information that will take two hours to complete, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of this collection is 2,540 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for the information collection is approximately $109,880 (2,540 hours × $43.26/hr), as estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.[1] 

*General Description of Collection:*                     The Commission establishes contests, challenges, and awards to increase the public's knowledge and awareness of safety hazards. The Commission also recognizes through awards certain individuals, firms, and organizations that work to address issues related to consumer product safety. The information to be collected from contestants and award nominees or nominators includes contact and background information necessary to conduct a contest or award program. Limited background or biographical information similar to data found on a resume, such as a nominee's education and work experience, may be requested for some contests or awards. Additionally, substantive entries such as essays, posters, drawings, or videos may be requested for contestants and award nominees.                

*Request for Comments:*                     The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:                
    - whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission'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.
