iAlthough not more than 300 reports of Conflict of Interest are expected, the responding institutions must review all financial disclosures associated with PHS funded awards to determine whether any conflicts of interest exist. Thus, the total burden of 24,000 hours is based upon estimates that it will take on the average 4/5 of an hour to review each of 30,000 financial disclosures associated with PHS funding awards. (30,000 

x 48 (minutes per file) =1,440,000 ÷ 60 minutes = 24,000 (total hours). iiThe burden for subsequent reports of conflicts (made during the 12 month period following the initial report) is significantly less, because we 

do not expect may additional reportable conflicts and there will be only a limited number of disclosures to review. iiiThis burden was originally estimated in the 1995 Final Rule to be no more than 5 instances that the failure of an investigator to comply with 

the institution’s conflict of interest policy has biased the design, conduct or reporting of the research. ‘‘Objectivity in Research, Final Rule’’ 60 FR 

132 (July 11, 1995) pps. 35810–35819. This burden estimate and others was increased in 2002 ‘‘due to increased numbers of institutions and investigators.’’ ivAssumes 2500 Institutions, 10 responses per year per institution. 

vAssumes 2800 recipient Institutions and 20 hours per institution informing each investigator of institutional policy. 

viThe financial disclosure burden estimate is based upon an investigator figure of 40,000 with an average response time of 1 hour. The estimated number of investigators has not changed since the 2002 Information Collection Request associated with the Final Rule. These estimates 

are for the burden imposed by disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Not all activities of institutions related to conflict of interest 

result from regulations.
