31898 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 102 / Tuesday, May 28, 2013 / Notices 

incorporating a permanent riving knife 

design. The revised standard also 

specified detailed design and 

performance requirements for the 

modular blade guard, riving knife, and 

anti-kickback device(s). The effective 

date for the new requirements in UL 987 

was January 31, 2010. 

In the ANPR, the Commission 

expressed concern that the requirements 

in the voluntary standard for table saws, 

UL 987, which include a permanent 

riving knife and the new modular blade 

guard system, may not adequately 

address the operator blade contact 

injuries associated with table saw use. 

The Commission stated that: 

While we support the recent progress UL 

has made in improving the voluntary 

standard to address blade contact injuries by 

focusing solely on prevention of skin-toblade contact, the standard requirements do 

not appear to address adequately the number 

or severity of blade contact injuries that 

occur on table saws, nor do they address the 

associated societal costs. In addition, while 

we believe that the new modular guard 

design is a significant improvement over the 

old guard design, the effectiveness of any 

blade guard system depends upon an 

operator’s willingness to use it. Safety 

equipment that hinders the ability to operate 

the product likely will result in consumers 

bypassing, avoiding, or discarding the safety 

equipment. In addition, of the 66,900 table 

saw operator blade contact injuries in 2007 

and 2008, approximately 20,700 (30.9%) of 

the injuries occurred on table saws where the 

blade guard was in use. The current 

voluntary standard for table saws does not 

appear to address those types of injuries. 

Accordingly, we are particularly interested in 

obtaining information regarding current or 

developing voluntary standards that would 

address table saw blade contact injuries. 

76 FR 62683. Currently, the CPSC does 

not know how consumers are using the 

new modular blade guard. Because the 

usage patterns are directly linked to the 

safety of the user, additional data are 

needed to understand how consumers 

use the modular blade guard to 

determine how effective the design will 

be in preventing future injuries. The 

data collected from this survey will be 

used to help CPSC staff understand 

better how consumers are using the 

modular blade guard system, such as 

when consumers install and remove the 

blade guard, what type of cuts are being 

made without the blade guard, and/or 

what may be preventing the use of the 

blade guard. With additional 

information, the Commission will be 

able to evaluate the role of modular 

blade guards in the proposed rule. The 

data, along with testing results, subject 

matter input analysis, and other study 

information, will be used by the 

Commission to develop the proposed 

rule addressing consumer injuries 

associated with table saws. 

To gather the information, the CPSC 

will conduct a survey of consumers who 

own table saws with a modular blade 

guard system. Because the population of 

owners of table saws that were 

purchased with a modular blade guard 

is a specific and hard-to-reach 

population, the survey will be based on 

a convenience sample of participants 

recruited by various advertisement 

strategies. No results from the survey 

will be generalized to the population. 

To recruit respondents, advertisements 

will be placed on popular Web sites, in 

woodworking magazines, and posted in 

woodworking guilds with their 

cooperation. Respondents will have the 

option to go through a screening 

process, either online, or via the 

telephone. Respondents meeting the 

criteria of the survey—owners of table 

saws with the modular blade guard 

system—will participate in the followup, full-scale Computer Assisted 

Telephone Interviewing (CATI) survey 

about their usage of, and opinions 

about, the modular blade guard system. 

After completion of the full-scale CATI 

survey, each respondent will be sent a 

$50 check for completing the survey. 

CPSC staff anticipates that 

approximately 100 eligible respondents 

will be interviewed. Up to an additional 

100 respondents may be interviewed, if 

additional funding becomes available. 

A final report will summarize the data 

about modular blade use collected from 

the surveyed table saw owners. Any 

patterns that emerge can be considered 

in conjunction with other testing, 

subject matter expert analyses, and any 

other data gathered as part of the 

rulemaking process, to assess the 

potential effectiveness of the modular 

blade guard design and to inform 

rulemaking. Any patterns that emerge 

may also be used by CPSC staff to 

develop future studies. 

B. Burden Hours 

CPSC staff estimates that the 

recruitment stage time required to verify 

whether the respondent fits the study’s 

target group of consumers will not 

exceed 10 minutes, and the actual 

survey will not exceed 25 minutes. 

Thus, total time per eligible respondent 

is estimated not to exceed 35 minutes. 

For the 100 anticipated eligible 

respondents, time required in 

connection with the survey would be 

estimated at approximately 58 hours 

(100 × 0.58 hours) in the aggregate. 

According to the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, March 2013, http:// 

www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm, 

the average compensational hourly rate 

is $28.89. The total cost burden for this 

study is estimated at $1,676. If an 

additional 100 respondents were 

interviewed, the total burden hours 

would be estimated at $3,352. 

The estimated cost to the federal 

government is $182,159.87 for the costs 

of recruiting respondents and 

conducting the survey. In addition, one 

full-time CPSC employee will spend an 

estimated 600 hours of labor for an 

estimated cost of $49,488, the 

equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5 employee 

with an additional 30.8 percent added 

for benefits for an hourly compensation 

rate of $82.48. (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ December 

2012, Table 1, percentage of wages and 

salaries for all civilian management, 

professional, and related employees, 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs). Accordingly, 

the total estimated cost to the federal 

government is $231,647.87 ($182,159.87 

plus $49,488). If an additional 100 

respondents are surveyed, the 

additional estimated cost to the federal 

government is $98,000 ($31,000 for 

recruiting + $67,000 for conducting 

survey), for a total estimated cost to the 

federal government of $329,647.87.
