Notes: 1. There is no reporting (in the sense 

of reporting information to the government as 

opposed to third-party disclosure to private 

parties) requirement or burden in connection 

with information collection under 17 CFR 

part 22 and Control Number 3038–0091. 

2. In the 60-notice for this renewal of a 

collection of information, the CFTC stated 

that there were estimated to be no capital 

costs or operating and maintenance costs 

associated with this collection. Upon further 

consideration, the CFTC has determined that 

the costs associated with rules 22.11 and 

22.12 are appropriately classified as start-up 

costs and operating and maintenance costs as 

those terms are used with regard to 

Paperwork Reduction Act burden estimates 

in the Office of Management and Budget 

regulatory information system. This 

reclassification does not alter the substance 

of the recordkeeping and third-party 

disclosure requirements in question or the 

associated total cost set forth in the 60-day 

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1993, 

the Commission issued the Safety 

Standard for Cigarette Lighters (16 CFR 

part 1210) under provisions of the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) 

(15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.) to eliminate or 

reduce risks of death and burn injury 

from fires accidentally started by 

children playing with cigarette lighters. 

The standard contains performance 

requirements for disposable and novelty 

lighters that are intended to make 

cigarette lighters that are subject to the 

standard resist operation by children 

younger than 5 years of age. 

A. Certification Requirements 

Section 14(a) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 

2063(a)) requires manufacturers, 

importers, and private labelers of a 

consumer product subject to a consumer 

product safety standard under the CPSA 

or similar rule, ban, standard, or 

regulation under any other act enforced 

by the Commission to issue a certificate 

stating that the product complies with 

all applicable rules, bans, standards, or 

regulations. Section 14(a) of the CPSA 

also requires that the certificate of 

compliance must be based on a test of 

each product or upon a reasonable 

testing program and specify each such 

rule, ban, standard or regulation 

applicable to the product. 

Section 14(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 

2063(b)) authorizes the Commission to 

issue regulations to prescribe a 

reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with a 

consumer product safety standard under 

the CPSA or similar rule, ban, standard, 

or regulation under any other act 

enforced by the Commission. Section 

16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C 2065(b)) 

authorizes the Commission to issue 

rules to require that firms ‘‘establish and 

maintain’’ records to permit the 

Commission to determine compliance 

with rules issued under the authority of 

the CPSA. 

The Commission has issued 

regulations prescribing requirements for 

a reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with the 

standard for cigarette lighters. These 

regulations require manufacturers and 

importers to submit a description of 

each model of lighter, results of 

surrogate qualification tests for 

compliance with the standard, and other 

information before the introduction of 

each model of lighter in commerce. 

These regulations also require 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of disposable and novelty 

lighters to establish and maintain 

records to demonstrate successful 

completion of all required tests to 

support the certificates of compliance 

that they issue. 16 CFR part 1210, 

Subpart B. 

The Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of disposable and novelty 

lighters to protect consumers from risks 

of accidental deaths and burn injuries 

associated with those lighters. More 

specifically, the Commission uses this 

information to determine whether 

lighters comply with the standard by 

resisting operation by young children. 

The Commission also uses this 

information to obtain corrective actions 

if disposable or novelty lighters fail to 

comply with the standard in a manner 

that creates a substantial risk of injury 

to the public. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information in the certification 

regulations for cigarette lighters under 

control number 3041–0116. OMB’s most 

recent extension of approval will expire 

on February 28, 2013. The Commission 

proposes to request an extension of 

approval for this collection of 

information requirements. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The cost of the rule’s testing 

requirement is the cost of testing, either 

by the firm or by outside contractors. In 

fiscal year 2012, 30 firms submitted new 

lighter models. The total number of 

models that were child-tested (new 

models) was 13, and the number of 

lighters that were comparable to 

previously tested models (comparable 

models) was 132. If tested through 

outside contractors, CPSC staff estimates 

the cost per test to be between $15,000 

and $25,000, and $20,000 on average. If 

13 total tests are done annually by 

outside contractors, the cost would be 

approximately $260,000. If tests are 

conducted in-house, CPSC staff 

estimates that testing a new model is 

expected to take about 90 hours per 

model. The total testing time for 13 

models, if conducted in-house, would 

be 1,170 hours. Based on an hourly 

compensation for the time required for 

testing is $61.75 per hour (U.S. Bureau 

of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ June 2012, 

Table 9, total compensation for 

management, professional, and related 

workers in goods-producing industries: 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs), the in-house 

testing cost would be approximately 

72,245. The total industry cost of the 

testing component for this regulation 

would be in the range of $72,248 to 

$260,000 per year, depending on the 

method chosen. 

The cost of the recordkeeping 

requirement is composed of two 

separate components: recordkeeping for 

new models and recordkeeping for 

comparable models. The time consumed 

in recordkeeping for new models has 

been estimated at 20 hours per model. 

Thus, the total time consumed for 

recordkeeping of new models would be 

260 hours (20 hours × 13 models). We 

estimate the hourly compensation for 

the time required for recordkeeping is 

$27.64 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

‘‘Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation,’’ June 2012, Table 9, 

total compensation for all sales and 

office workers in goods-producing, 

private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ 

ncs). The estimated annual cost of 

recordkeeping for new models is about 

$7,186 (260 hours × $27.64). 

In fiscal year 2012, 132 comparable 

models were submitted to the CPSC. 

While firms would bear no testing costs 

for the comparable models, the time for 

recordkeeping is estimated at 3 hours 

per model. Thus, an estimated 396 

hours (132 models × 3 hours). We 

estimate the hourly compensation for 

the time required for record keeping is 

$27.64 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

‘‘Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation,’’ June 2012, Table 9, 

total compensation for all sales and 

office workers in goods-producing, 

private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ 

ncs). The estimated annual cost of 

recordkeeping for comparable models is 

about $10,945 (396 hours × $27.64). The 

estimated total recordkeeping costs for 

new models and comparable models 

would be approximately $18,131 

($7,186 + $10,945). 

Because the number of responses to 

the CPSC includes paperwork 

associated with the testing for new 

models, as well as comparable models, 

we expect that the total number of 

responses will be 145 per year (13 tested 

+ 132 comparisons). The total number of 

hours consumed for these responses 

would be 1,826 hours per year, 

including new model tests (1,170 hours 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with 

2664 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 9 / Monday, January 14, 2013 / Notices 

if done in-house), new model 

recordkeeping (260 hours), and 

recordkeeping for comparable models 

(396 hours). The Commission estimates 

the total cost for firms to test, and 

prepare, maintain, and submit records 

to the CPSC in compliance with the 

lighter regulation would be in the range 

of $90,379 to $278,132, depending upon 

the test method chosen. 

The estimated total cost of this 

collection to the federal government is 

$344,618. This represents two full-time 

employees annually for compliance 

activities. This estimate uses an annual 

total compensation of $119,238 (the 

equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5 employee) 

with an additional 30.8 percent added 

for benefits (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ September 

2012, Table 1, percentage of wages and 

salaries for all civilian management, 

professional, and related employees), for 

a total annual compensation per fulltime employee of $172,309. 

C. 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.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the FI Projects program is to develop 

methods, procedures, and rehabilitation 

technology that maximize the full 

inclusion and integration into society, 

employment, independent living, family 

support, and economic and social selfsufficiency of individuals with 

disabilities, especially individuals with 

the most severe disabilities. Another 

purpose of the FI Projects program is to 

improve the effectiveness of services 

authorized under the Rehabilitation Act 

of 1973, as amended (Act). 

The purpose of this competition is to 

improve the capacity of minority 

entities to conduct high-quality 

disability and rehabilitation research by 

limiting eligibility for FI research and 

development grants to minority entities 

and Indian tribes. Section 21(b)(2)(A) of 

the Act authorizes NIDRR to make 

awards to minority entities and Indian 

tribes to carry out activities authorized 

under Title II of the Act. 

NIDRR makes two types of awards 

under the FI Projects program: Research 

grants and development grants. The MSI 

FI Projects research grants will be 

awarded under CFDA 84.133G–4, and 

the development grants will be awarded 

under CFDA 84.133G–5. 

Note: Different selection criteria are used 

for FI Project research grants (84.133G–4) and 

development grants (84.133G–5). An 

applicant must clearly indicate in the 

application whether it is applying for a 

research grant (84.133G–4) or a development 

grant (84.133G–5) and must address the 

selection criteria relevant for its grant type. 

Without exception, NIDRR will review each 

application based on the grant designation 

made by the applicant. Applications will be 

determined ineligible and will not be 

reviewed if they do not include a clear 

designation as a research grant or a 

development grant. 

In carrying out a research activity 

under an FI Projects research grant, a 

grantee must identify one or more 

hypotheses and, based on the 

hypotheses identified, perform an 

intensive, systematic study directed 

toward (1) new or full scientific 

knowledge, or (2) understanding of the 

subject or problem studied. 

In carrying out a development activity 

under an FI Projects development grant, 

a grantee must use knowledge and 

understanding gained from research to 

create materials, devices, systems, or 

methods beneficial to the target 

population, including design and 

development of prototypes and 

processes. ‘‘Target population’’ means 

the group of individuals, organizations, 

or other entities expected to be affected 

by the project. More than one group may 

be involved since a project may affect 

those who receive services, provide 

services, or administer services. 

Section 21: 

Note: This program is in concert with 

NIDRR’s currently approved long-range plan 

(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and 

integrates many issues relating to disability 

and rehabilitation research. The Plan, which 

was published in the Federal Register on 

February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8165), can be 

accessed on the Internet at: www.ed.gov/ 

about/offices/list/osers/nidrr/policy.html. 

Through the implementation of the 

Plan, NIDRR seeks to (1) improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of expertise, information, and 

training methods to facilitate the 

advancement of knowledge and 

understanding of the unique needs of 

individuals with disabilities from 

traditionally underserved populations; 

(3) determine the best strategies and 

programs to improve rehabilitation 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities from underserved 

populations; (4) identify research gaps; 

(5) identify mechanisms for integrating 

research and practice; and (6) 

disseminate findings.
