transactions involving an acquisition of 50% or 

more of an entity’s assets or voting securities. The 

rationale for this exclusion is that the remainder, 38 

transactions, reflects incremental acquisitions that 

fell between notification and filing fee thresholds 

and thus would likely need more precise valuation 

to determine which side of a threshold the 

transaction falls upon. The resulting fiscal year 

2009 total, 38, is then used to project the fiscal year 

2010 volume of such transactions. To do this, we 

first calculated the proportion this net figure 

represents in relation to the total fiscal year 2009 

non-index transactions: 38 ÷ 716 = 5.3%. 

This percentage is then applied to the projected 

number of fiscal year 2010 non-index transactions 

in order to estimate the proportion of them that will 

require more precise valuation. Assuming that half 

the projected number of fiscal year 2010 non-index 

filings will constitute the number of associated 

transactions, that would result in approximately 

421 non-index transactions (841 ÷ 2). To this we 

then carry over and apply the above 5.3% 

apportionment to arrive at an estimate of 22 nonindex transactions in fiscal year 2010 that will 

require more precise measurement. 

6Only the acquiring person is subject to a filing 

fee; thus, this specific focus. 

7The FTC’s previous estimate of $425 per hour 

has been increased by the Social Security COLA 

percentage for fiscal years 2007 - fiscal year 2009 

(fiscal year 2007(2.3%), fiscal year 2008 (5.8%)), 

fiscal year 2009 (0%)). 

hours burden before adjustments is 

33,719 hours [(841 non-index filings x 

39 hours) + (20 index filings x 2 hours) 

+ (22 acquiring person non-index filings 

requiring more precise valuation6 x 40 

hours)]. 

As in the past, however, staff further 

estimates that half of those submitting 

non-index filings will incorporate Item 

4(a) and Item 4(b) documents by 

reference to an Internet link, and that 

doing so will reduce individual burden 

by one hour. Accordingly, the 

cumulative reduction to the above total 

would be 421 hours (841 non-index 

filings x c ≈421, multiplied by 1 hour), 

resulting in net estimated burden for 

fiscal year 2010 of 33,298 hours. 

This estimate is conservative. In 

estimating PRA burden, staff considered 

‘‘the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency.’’ 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(1). This 

includes ‘‘developing, acquiring, 

installing, and utilizing technology and 

systems for the purpose of disclosing 

and providing information.’’ 5 CFR 

1320.3(b)(1)(iv). Although not expressly 

stated in the OMB definitions regulation 

implementing the PRA, the definition of 

burden arguably includes upgrading and 

maintaining computer and other 

systems used to comply with a rule’s 

requirements. Conversely, to the extent 

that these systems are customarily used 

in the ordinary course of business 

independent of the Rule, their 

associated upkeep would fall outside 

the realm of PRA ‘‘burden.’’ See 5 CFR 

1320.3(b)(2). 

Industry has been subject to the basic 

provisions of the HSR Rules since 1978. 

Thus, businesses have had several years 

(and some have had decades) to 

integrate compliance systems into their 

business procedures. Accordingly, most 

companies now maintain records and 

provide updated order information of 

the kind required by the HSR Rules in 

their ordinary course of business. 

Nevertheless, staff conservatively 

assumes that the time devoted to 

compliance with the Rule by existing 

and new companies remains unchanged 

from its preceding estimate. 

Estimated labor costs: $15,317,080 

Using the burden hours estimated 

above and applying an estimated 

average of $460/hour for executive and 

attorney wages,7 staff estimates that the 

total labor cost associated with the HSR 

Rules and the Notification and Report 

Form is approximately $15,317,080 

(33,298 hours x $460/hour). 

Estimated annual non-labor cost 

burden: $0 or minimal 

The applicable requirements impose 

minimal start-up costs, as businesses 

subject to the HSR Rules generally have 

or obtain necessary equipment for other 

business purposes. Staff believes that 

the above requirements necessitate 

ongoing, regular training so that covered 

entities stay current and have a clear 

understanding of federal mandates, but 

that this would be a small portion of 

and subsumed within the ordinary 

training that employees receive apart 

from that associated with the 

information collected under the HSR 

Rules and the corresponding 

Notification and Report Form.

Title: Application Requirements for 

the LIHEAP and Detailed Model Plan. 

OMB No.: 0970–0075. 

Description: States, including the 

District of Columbia, Tribes, tribal 

organizations and territories applying 

for LIHEAP block grant funds must 

submit an annual application (Model 

Plan) that meets the LIHEAP statutory 

and regulatory requirements prior to 

receiving Federal funds. A detailed 

application must be submitted every 3 

years. Abbreviated applications may be 

submitted in alternate years. There have 

been no changes in the Model Plan 

since the approval of the addition of the 

LIHEAP Program Integrity Assessment 

and Plan by the Office of Management 

and Budget earlier this year. 

Presidential Executive Order 13520, 

reducing Improper Payments and 

Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs, 

issued in November 2009, encourages 

Federal agencies to take deliberate and 

immediate action to eliminate fraud and 

improper payments. As part of the 

review of programs subsequent to this 

executive order, HHS has determined 

that additional information from each 

administering agency is necessary to 

assess grantee measures that are in place 

to prevent, detect or address waste, 

fraud and abuse in LIHEAP programs. 

Respondents: State, Local or Tribal 

Governments.
