SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC 

seeks to renew the following currently 

approved collection of information: 

Title: Requirements Pertaining to 

Third Party Conformity Assessment 

Bodies. 

OMB Number: 3041–0156. 

Type of Review: Renewal of 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Third party 

conformity assessment bodies seeking 

acceptance of accreditation or 

continuing accreditation. 

Estimated Burden: 

• New Applications from Third Party 

Conformity Assessment Bodies. 

Æ We estimate approximately 40 new 

applications from independent third 

party conformity assessment bodies will 

be submitted per year, taking an 

estimated 75 minutes to complete the 

initial application materials, with an 

estimated burden of 50 hours per year. 

Æ We estimate approximately 3 

firewalled third party conformity 

assessment bodies will apply per year, 

taking an estimated 8.4 hours to 

complete the initial application 

materials, with an estimated burden of 

25.2 hours per year. 

Æ We estimate approximately 4 

governmental third party conformity 

assessment bodies will apply per year, 

taking an estimated 3 hours to complete 

the initial application materials, with an 

estimated burden of 12 hours per year. 

• Third party conformity assessment 

bodies updating information. 

Æ We estimate that approximately 5 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies will take 15 minutes to update 

information for only those elements of 

information that need updating, with an 

estimated burden of 1.35 hours per year. 

• Third party conformity assessment 

bodies that subcontracts out tests. 

Æ We estimate that approximately 27 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies will take 7 minutes to comply 

with the subcontracting recordkeeping 

requirement for an estimated 68,769 

subcontract test, with an estimated of 

approximately 8,023 hours per year. 

• Third party conformity assessment 

bodies that voluntarily withdraw. 

Æ We estimate approximately 8 third 

party conformity assessment bodies will 

withdraw yearly, taking an estimated 30 

minutes to create and submit the 

required documentation, with an 

estimated burden of 4 hours per year. 

• Third party conformity assessment 

bodies that are audited. 

Æ We estimate that approximately 228 

independent third party conformity 

assessment bodies each year will be 

audited, taking approximately 4 minutes 

to resubmit their Form 223 and 

accreditation certificate, with an 

estimated burden of 15.2 hours per year. 

Æ We estimate that approximately 18 

firewalled third party conformity 

assessment bodies will spend 226 

minutes collecting and preparing the 

documentation to submit for an audit, 

with estimated burden of about 68 hours 

per year. 

Æ We estimate approximately 25 

governmental third party conformity 

assessment bodies will spend 1 hour 

collecting and preparing the 

documentation to submit for an audit, 

with estimated burden of 25 hours per 

year. 

• Total Annual Burden. 

Adding all of the annual estimated 

burden hours results in a total of 8,224 

hours for third party conformity 

assessment bodies per year. At $38.78 

per hour, the total cost of the 

recordkeeping associated with the 

Requirements Pertaining to Third Party 

Conformity Assessment Bodies is 

approximately $318,927 (8,224 hours × 

$38.78 = $318,927). 

General Description of Collection: On 

March 12, 2013, the Commission issued 

a rule Pertaining to Third Party 

Conformity Assessment Bodies (78 FR 

15836). The rule established the general 

requirements concerning third party 

conformity assessment bodies, such as 

the requirements and procedures for 

CPSC acceptance of the accreditation of 

a third party conformity assessment 

body, and prescribed adverse actions 

that may be imposed against CPSCaccepted third party conformity 

assessment bodies. The rule also 

amended the audit requirements for 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies and amends the Commission’s 

regulation on inspections. 

Request for Comments

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

This program helps to ensure that 

requested data can be provided in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposed 

renewal of the National Service Trust 

Voucher and Payment Request Form/

National Service Trust Manual Payment 

Request Form (OMB #3045–0014); 

which is used to make payments to 

repay qualified student loans and to pay 

for the cost of attending eligible postsecondary educational institutions and 

approved School-to-Work programs. 

Prior to making the payments, CNCS 

will review information from the forms 

and compare it to information taken 

from the AmeriCorps members’ 

education award account(s) to ensure 

that the payments meet the 

requirements of the law. This 

information collection is not required to 

be considered for obtaining grant 

funding support. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by April 

12, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nahid Jarrett, 202–606–6753, or by 

email at njarrett@cns.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

CNCS supports programs that provide 

opportunities for individuals who want 

to become involved in national service. 

The service opportunities cover a wide 

range of activities over varying periods 

of time. Upon successfully completing 

an agreed-upon term of service in an 

approved AmeriCorps program, an 

AmeriCorps member receives an 

education award. 

The National Service Trust is the 

office within CNCS that administers the 

education award program. This involves 

tracking the service for all AmeriCorps 

members, ensuring that certain 

requirements of CNCS enabling 

legislation are met, and processing 

school and loan payments that the 

members authorize both manually and 

electronically through the 

MyAmeriCorps portal. With this form 

AmeriCorps members request Segal 

Education Award payments, schools 

and lenders certify their eligibility, and 

both parties certify certain legal 

requirements. 

Current Action 

CNCS seeks to renew the current 

information collection request. 

After an AmeriCorps member 

completes a period of national service, 

the individual receives an education 

award that can be used to pay against 

qualified student loans or pay for 

current post-secondary educational 

expenses. The National Service Trust 

Voucher and Payment Request Form/

National Service Trust Manual Payment 

Request Form is the document that a 

member uses to access his or her 

account in the National Service Trust. 

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the existing application. CNCS also 

seeks to continue using the current 

application until the revised application 

is approved by OMB. The current 

application is due to expire on 03/31/

2016. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Agency: CNCS. 

Title: National Service Trust Voucher 

and Payment Request Form/National 

Service Trust Manual Payment Request 

Form. 

OMB Number: 3045–0014. 

Agency Number: None. 

Affected Public: Individuals using a 

Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, 

authorized school officials and qualified 

loan servicers. 

Total Respondents: 162,000. 

Frequency: One or more per education 

award. 

Average Time per Response: Averages 

5 minutes. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

13,500. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

None. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintenance): None. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they will 

also become a matter of public record.
