SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background 

Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), requires 

the Commission to collect information 

related to the causes and prevention of 

death, injury, and illness associated 

with consumer products. That section 

also requires the Commission to 

conduct continuing studies and 

investigations of deaths, injuries, 

diseases, other health impairments, and 

economic losses resulting from 

accidents involving consumer products. 

The Commission obtains information 

about product-related deaths, injuries, 

and illnesses from a variety of sources, 

including newspapers, death 

certificates, consumer complaints, and 

medical facilities. In addition, the 

Commission receives information 

through its Internet Web site through 

forms reporting on product-related 

injuries or incidents. 

The Commission also operates a 

surveillance system known as the 

National Electronic Injury Surveillance 

System (NEISS) that provides timely 

data on consumer product-related 

injuries treated as well as U.S. 

childhood poisonings. NEISS data 

comes from a statistically valid sample 

from approximately 100 hospital 

emergency departments. The NEISS 

system has been in operation since 

1971. NEISS emergency department 

records are reviewed by hospital 

employees or contractors (NEISS 

coders). 

From these sources, Commission staff 

selects cases of interest for further 

investigation by face-to-face or 

telephone interviews with persons who 

witnessed, or were injured in, incidents 

involving consumer products. On-site 

investigations are usually made in cases 

where Commission staff needs 

photographs of the incident site, the 

product involved, or detailed 

information about the incident. This 

information can come from face-to-face 

interviews with persons who were 

injured or who witnessed the incident, 

as well as contact with state and local 

officials, including police, coroners, and 

fire investigators, and others with 

knowledge of the incident. 

The Commission uses the information 

to support the development and 

improvement of voluntary standards; 

rulemaking proceedings; information 

and education campaigns; compliance 

and enforcement efforts and related 

administrative and judicial proceedings. 

Commission activities are, in many 

cases, data driven, and incident data is 

crucial in advancing the agency’s 

mission. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information concerning product-related 

injuries under control number 3041– 

0029. OMB’s most recent extension of 

approval will expire on July 31, 2013. 

The Commission now proposes to 

request an extension of approval of this 

collection of information. 

B. NEISS Estimated Burden 

The NEISS system collects 

information on consumer-product 

related injuries from about 100 hospitals 

in the U.S. Respondents to NEISS 

include hospitals that directly report 

information to NEISS, and hospitals that 

allow CPSC contractors to collect the 

data on behalf of the agency. In FY 

2012, there were a maximum of 150 

NEISS contracts (total hospitals and 

CPSC contractors). NEISS coders collect 

and review all emergency records daily 

or weekly. During that year, NEISS 

coders reviewed an estimated 4.6 

million emergency department records 

and reported approximately 400,000 

consumer-product related injuries, of 

which 5,100 were childhood poisoningrelated injuries. Each record takes 

approximately 15 seconds to review. 

Coding and reporting records that 

involve consumer product related 

injuries takes approximately 2.5 

minutes per record. NEISS coders also 

spend about 36 hours per year in related 

activities (training, evaluations, and 

communicating with doctors and nurses 

if more detailed information is needed). 

The total burden hours for collecting, 

reviewing and coding incident records 

and reports during FY 2012 are 

estimated to be 41,300. The average 

burden hour per hospital for FY 2012 is 

approximately 430 hours; however, the 

total burden hour on each hospital 

varies due to differences in size of the 

hospital (e.g., small rural hospitals 

versus large metropolitan hospitals). For 

example, the smallest hospital reported 

approximately 150 cases with a burden 

of about 50 hours, while the largest 

hospital reported more than 17,500 

cases with a burden of almost 1,400 

hours. 

The total contract costs for NEISS in 

FY 2012 are $1.7 million. Based on FY 

2012 data, the average cost per 

respondent is estimated to be about 

$17,600. The average cost per burden 

hour is estimated to be $41 per hour 

(including wages and overhead); 

however, the actual cost to each 

respondent varies due to the type of 

respondent (hospital versus CPSC 

contractor), size of hospital, and 

regional differences in wages and 

overhead. Thus, the actual annual cost 

for any given respondent may vary 

between $1,000 at a small rural hospital 

and $78,000 at a large metropolitan 

hospital. 

C. Other Burden Hours 

In cases that require more information 

regarding product-related incidents or 

injuries, the staff conducted face-to-face 

interviews of approximately 550 

persons during FY 2012. Such 

interviews may take place with the 

injured party, or a witness to the 

incident. On average, each on-site 

interview took about 4.5 hours. In FY 

2012 Commission staff also conducted 

about 3700 in-depth investigations by 

telephone from the injured party or, in 

the case of a minor, the parents or 

guardian. Each such in-depth telephone 

investigation required approximately 20 

minutes. Based on the FY 2012 data, 

staff estimates that this collection of 

information imposes a total annual 

hourly burden of 3,708 hours on all 

respondents: 2,475 hours for face-to-face 

interviews and 1,233 hours for in-depth 

telephone interviews. Commission staff 

estimates the value of the time required 

for reporting is $27.12 an hour (U.S. 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer 

Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ 

December 2012, Table 9, Total 

compensation for all sales and office 

workers in goods-producing industries: 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs). At this 

valuation, the estimated annual cost of 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
26620 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 7, 2013 / Notices 

the burden hours to the public is about 

$100,570. 

This request for the approval of an 

estimated 45,008 (41,300 NEISS and 

3,708 other) burden hours per year is a 

decrease of 4,697 hours since this 

collection of information was last 

approved by OMB in 2009. This 

decrease is due, in part, to the increased 

proportion of investigations being 

conducted by phone rather than on-site. 

In addition, to avoid duplication, this 

information collection request excludes 

the burden now associated with other 

publicly available Consumer Product 

Safety Information Databases, such as 

Internet complaints, Hotline, and the 

Medical Examiner and Coroners Alert 

Project reports. These information 

collections have been approved by OMB 

and are now collected under OMB 

Control No. 3041–0146. 

The annual cost to the government of 

the information collection is estimated 

to be $3.3 million a year. This estimate 

includes approximately $1.7 million in 

contract costs to NEISS respondents 

(based on FY 2012 data). This estimate 

also includes $1.6 million for 

approximately 160 Commission staff 

months each year. The estimate of staff 

months includes the time required to 

oversee NEISS operations (e.g., 

administration, training, quality 

control); conduct face-to-face and 

telephone interviews; and evaluate 

responses. Each month of professional 

staff time costs the Commission about 

$10,175. This is based on a GS–12 midlevel salaried employee. The average 

yearly wage rate for a mid-level salaried 

GS–12 employee in the Washington, DC 

metropolitan area (effective as of 

January 2011) is $84,855 (GS–12, step 

5). This represents 69.5 percent of total 

compensation (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/). Adding an 

additional 30.5 percent for benefits 

brings average yearly compensation for 

a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee to 

$122,094. 

D. 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.
