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.
