Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 12319 

accurately estimate the public burden 

challenging that the agency’s 

methodology for calculating it is 

insufficient and inadequate and does 

not reflect the total burden. The 

respondent indicated that .25 hours or 

15 minutes per response for the level of 

effort involved under the relevant 

clauses is unrealistically low. For this 

reason, the respondent provided that the 

agency should reassess the estimated 

total burden hours and revise the 

estimate upwards to be more accurate, 

as was done in FAR Case 2007–006. The 

same respondent also provided that the 

burden of compliance with the 

information collection requirement 

greatly exceeds the agency’s estimate 

and outweighs any potential utility of 

the extension. 

Response: Serious consideration is 

given, during the open comment period, 

to all comments received and 

adjustments are made to the paperwork 

burden estimate based on reasonable 

considerations provided by the public. 

This is evidenced, as the respondent 

notes, in FAR Case 2007–006 where an 

adjustment was made from the total 

preparation hours from three to 60. This 

change was made considering 

particularly the hours that would be 

required for review within the company, 

prior to release to the Government. 

The burden is prepared taking into 

consideration the necessary criteria in 

OMB guidance for estimating the 

paperwork burden put on the entity 

submitting the information. For 

example, consideration is given to an 

entity reviewing instructions; using 

technology to collect, process, and 

disclose information; adjusting existing 

practices to comply with requirements; 

searching data sources; completing and 

reviewing the response; and 

transmitting or disclosing information. 

The estimated burden hours for a 

collection are based on an average 

between the hours that a simple 

disclosure by a very small business 

might require and the much higher 

numbers that might be required for a 

very complex disclosure by a major 

corporation. Also, the estimated burden 

hours should only include projected 

hours for those actions which a 

company would not undertake in the 

normal course of business. Careful 

consideration went into assessing the 

burden for this collection, and although 

the respondent did not provide a 

specific recommendation for an increase 

of time per response, an adjustment is 

made to the estimated total burden. At 

any point, members of the public may 

submit comments for further 

consideration, and are encouraged to 

provide data to support their request for 

an adjustment. 

C. Annual Reporting Burden 

The estimated annual reporting 

burden is being adjusted upward since 

published in the Federal Register at 74 

FR 64085, on December 7, 2009. The 

upward adjustment is based on a 

revised number of respondents obtained 

from the Federal Procurement Data 

System—Next Generation (FPDS–NG) 

data for fixed-price contracts with 

economic price adjustments, and 

consideration of the public comment. 

Respondents: 11,945. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 11,945. 

Hours per Response: 1.5. 

Total Burden Hours: 17,918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Purpose

Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 299c. In 

accordance with its statutory mandate, 

the Council is to advise the Secretary of 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services and the Director, Agency for 

Healthcare Research and Quality 

(AHRQ), on matters related to AHRQ’s 

conduct of its mission including 

providing guidance on (A) Priorities for 

health care research, (B) the field of 

health care research including training 

needs and information dissemination on 

health care quality and (C) the role of 

the Agency in light of private sector 

activity and opportunities for public 

private partnerships. 

The Council is composed of members 

of the public, appointed by the 

Secretary, and Federal ex-officio 

members specified in the authorizing 

legislation. 

II. Agenda

Proposed Project 

School Associated Violent Death 

Surveillance System (0920–0604, 

Expiration 1/31/2013)—Reinstatement 

with change—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Violence Prevention 

(DVP), National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC) 

proposes to maintain a system for the 

surveillance of school-associated 

homicides and suicides; the system 

relies on existing public records and 

interviews with law enforcement 

officials and school officials. The 

purpose of the system is to (1) estimate 

the rate of school-associated violent 

death in the United States and (2) 

identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system 

will contribute to the understanding of 

fatal violence associated with schools, 

guide further research in the area, and 

help direct ongoing and future 

prevention programs. 

School-associated violent deaths 

(SAVD) is an ongoing surveillance 

system that draws cases from the entire 

United States in attempting to capture 

all cases of school-associated violent 

deaths that have occurred. Investigators 

review public records and published 

press reports concerning each schoolassociated violent death. For each 

identified case, investigators also 

interview an investigating law 

enforcement official (defined as a police 

officer, police chief, or district attorney), 

and a school official (defined as a school 

principal, school superintendent, school 

counselor, school teacher, or school 

support staff) who are knowledgeable 

about the case in question. Respondents 

will only be interviewed once. 

Researchers request information on both 

the victim and alleged offender(s)— 

including demographic data, their 

academic and criminal records, and 

their relationship to one another. Data 

are also collected on the time and 

location of the death; the circumstances, 

motive, and method of the fatal injury; 

and the security and violence 

prevention activities in the school and 

community where the death occurred, 

before and after the fatal injury event. 

The revisions to this data collection 

involve changes to the data collection 

instruments that will enhance the scope 

or relevance of the information 

previously collected, and changes that 

will reflect recent advancements and 

developments in research addressing 

violence in school settings. There has 

also been an additional measure added 

which will further strengthen the data 

security processes. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 70.
