SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC 

seeks to extend the following currently 

approved generic collection of 

information: 

Title: Child Strength Study. 

OMB Number: 3041–0187. 

Type of Review: Extension of generic 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Child participants 

and their caregivers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

We estimate 5,210 people will be 

invited for the study and 1,563 initial 

respondents will complete screening. 

Out of the initial respondents, 563 are 

expected to be screened out or not 

expected to ultimately participate after 

the invitation for study. We estimate 

that there will be 1,000 participants for 

the lab portion of the study. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time to complete a study 

session is 2 hours per participant. This 

does not account for the time for 

inviting and screening participants via 

phone conversations with the caregiver, 

which is additional 12 minutes per 

respondent. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 

Based on CPSC’s estimates that 5,210 

people will be invited for the study (3 

minutes per invite), 1,563 initial 

respondents will complete screening (9 

minutes per screening) and there will be 

1,000 participants for the lab portion of 

the study (2 hours to complete each 

study session), CPSC estimates that the 

total burden of this collection is 2,267 

hours. The average annual burden is 

approximately 756 hours; however, 

because of study timing and efficiency, 

a single year could have up to 1,850 

burden hours. There are no costs to 

respondents and no respondent 

recordkeeping requirements associated 

with the study. 

General Description of Collection: 

CPSC uses data on human strength and 

capabilities to develop product safety 

standards and to inform other CPSC 

staff activities. Strength capabilities of 

children are used to develop product 

performance requirements in standards 

to reduce or eliminate the risk such 

products might pose to a child (e.g., 

breaking, collapsing, or liberating a 

small part). The information to be 

collected from child participants 

ranging in age 3 months to 5 years 

includes contact and background 

information necessary to participate in a 

study to obtain child strength measures 

for upper and lower extremities and bite 

strength. Written consent is obtained 

from caregivers and verbal assent is 

obtained from children who are old 

enough to provide it. Researchers will 

obtain several standard anthropometric 

measurements from each child, 

including body weight and standing 

height. Researchers also record the 

participant’s body shape using a wholebody laser scanner (VITUS XXL) and a 

Microsoft Kinect sensor. 

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.

Commission.

Title of Collection: International 

Resource Information System (IRIS). 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0759. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector; Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 6,126. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 12,928. 

Abstract: Information Resource 

Information System (IRIS) is an online 

performance reporting system for 

grantees of International and Foreign 

Language Education (IFLE) programs. 

The site also allows for IFLE program 

officers to process overseas language 

requests, travel authorization requests, 

and grant activation requests. IRIS keeps 

a record of these requests and also of 

Foreign Language and Area Studies 

(FLAS) Fellowship recipients and 

grantee performance reports. 

The International and Foreign 

Language Education (IFLE) office within 

the Office of Postsecondary Education, 

of the U.S. Department of Education (the 

Department) administers 11 

institutional and fellowship grant 

programs authorized under title VI of 

the Higher Education Act and section 

102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and 

Cultural Exchange Act, also known as 

Fulbright-Hays (F–H). The purpose of 

these programs is to strengthen the 

capability and performance of American 

education in foreign languages and in 

area and international studies. 

The International Resource 

Information System (IRIS) is an online 

database that is used for performance 

reporting by the grantees funded by 

these 11 programs. The purpose of IRIS 

is to provide a centralized and effective 

way of collecting, reporting, and 

analyzing annual performance data. 

This Information Collection Request 

is a revision of the previously approved 

IRIS information collection. The IFLE 

office underwent a strategic assessment 

of each program using the specific 

statute, regulations, and program 

purposes. Our assessment was guided 

by the following objectives: reduce the 

reporting burden for grantees; reduce 

the burden hours for IFLE staff to review 

APRs; and, increase the quality and 

usefulness of the data collected. 

The strategic assessment resulted in 

revisions to the program collections that 

will significantly reduce reporting 

burden across programs. We anticipate 

that the overall annual burden hours 

will be reduced by 64% from the 

previous collection clearance.
