CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. CPSC–2018–0002] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request—Survey 

on Smoke and Carbon Monoxide 

Alarms 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC) announces 

that CPSC has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), a new 

proposed collection of information by 

the agency on a survey that will 

estimate the use of smoke and carbon 

monoxide (CO) alarms in United States 

households. In the Federal Register of 

March 20, 2018 (83 FR 12178), CPSC 

published a notice announcing the 

agency’s intent to seek approval of this 

collection of information. CPSC 

received several comments in response 

to that notice. After review and 

consideration of the comments, by 

publication of this notice, the 

Commission announces that CPSC has 

submitted to the OMB a request for 

approval of this collection of 

information. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

request for approval of information 

collection requirements should be 

submitted by August 1, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about 

this request by email: OIRA_

submission@omb.eop.gov or fax: 202– 

395–6881. 

Comments by mail should be sent to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the 

CPSC, Office of Management and 

Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Comments 

On March 20, 2018, the CPSC 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the agency’s intent 

to seek approval of a new collection of 

information on a national in-home 

survey that will estimate the use and 

functionality of smoke and CO alarms in 

households, as well as user hazard 

perceptions regarding such alarms. (83 

FR 12178). CPSC received three 

comments in response to that notice. 

Two commenters did not address the 

survey or any issues related to the 

survey, but instead, raised concerns 

about climate change. One commenter, 

the International Code Council (ICC), 

supported the information collection. 

The ICC stated that it promulgates 

residential and commercial building 

safety codes and that having reliable 

data to analyze the scope of use and 

effectiveness of the detection devices 

will improve public safety.

Accordingly, after consideration of 

these comments, CPSC will request 

approval from OMB for this collection 

of information. 

B. Survey 

CPSC has entered into a contract with 

Eureka Facts to conduct a national inhome survey that will estimate the use 

and functionality of smoke and CO 

alarms in households, as well as user 

hazard perceptions regarding such 

alarms. The information collected from 

this survey will provide CPSC updated 

national estimates regarding the use of 

smoke alarms and CO alarms in 

households, based on direct observation 

of alarm installations. The survey also 

will help CPSC identify the groups that 

do not have operable smoke alarms and/ 

or CO alarms and the reasons they do 

not have such alarms. With this 

information, CPSC will be able to target 

its messaging better and improve 

consumer use and awareness regarding 

the operability of these alarms. In 

addition, the survey results will help to 

inform CPSC’s recommendations to 

voluntary standards groups and state/ 

local jurisdictions regarding their codes, 

standards, and/or regulations on smoke 

and CO alarms. 

The survey seeks to collect 

information from 1,185 households 

within the United States, with an initial 

group of 50 households that will be 

processed and analyzed to identify any 

issues regarding the survey instrument 

and data collection procedures. The 

survey will use a mixed-mode, 

multistage approach to data collection. 

The data will be collected through two 

modes: Face-to-face in-home interviews 

and telephone surveys. The survey 

instrument will be programmed on 

Vovici software and will be 

administered via in-home interviews 

using a Computer-Assisted Personal 

Interview (CAPI) format, or by 

telephone, using a Computer-Assisted 

Telephone Interview (CATI) format. 

Smoke alarms are more prevalent in 

homes than CO alarms are. Accordingly, 

during the screening process, if 

respondents indicate that they have a 

smoke alarm that may be tested directly, 

the respondents will be scheduled for 

an in-home interview for the full survey. 

However, if the smoke alarm cannot be 

tested directly because the household 

does not have a smoke alarm installed, 

or the smoke alarms are connected to a 

central alarm system that will notify the 

police or fire department, the 

respondent is not eligible for the inhome survey. Instead of the in-home 

survey, these households would be 

given a subset of survey questions about 

safety attitudes and demographics that 

would be collected over the telephone. 

For participants eligible for in-home 

interviews, a two-member survey team 

will ask household residents questions 

related to installed smoke and CO 

alarms. The survey team will then test 

residents’ smoke and CO alarms. If any 

of the alarms do not work, the survey 

team will offer to replace the alarms free 

of charge. 

C. Burden Hours 

The survey interview will take 20 to 

60 minutes to conduct, depending on 

whether the survey is administered by 

telephone (about 20 minutes), or by an 

in-home interview (60 minutes). We 

estimate the number of survey 

respondents to be 1,185. We estimate 

the total annual burden hours for 

respondents to be 1,422 hours, based on 

the total time required to respond to the 

invitation, screener, and the actual 

survey. The monetized hourly cost is 

$35.64, as defined by the average total 

hourly cost to employers for employee 

compensation for employees across all 

occupations as of September 2017, 

reported by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics. Accordingly, we estimate the 

total annual cost burden to all 

respondents to be $50,680. (1,422 hours 

× $35.64 = $50,680.). The total cost to 

the federal government for the contract 

to design and conduct the survey is 

$721,773.
