characteristics affect the likelihood that 

someone becomes a victim of consumer

from the surveyed subjects. 

B. Estimated Burden Hours 

The FTC plans to seek information 

from approximately 5,000 respondents 

using a questionnaire that should take 

no more than 30 minutes to complete. 

Prior to that, a pre-test of up to 100 

participants will be conducted. 

Allowing for an extra two minutes for 

questions unique to the pretest, the 

pretest should total no more than 32 

minutes to complete. Accordingly, the 

information collection burden of the 

Internet Panel study should total no 

more than 2,553 hours. Finally, the cost 

per respondent should be negligible. 

Participants will be compensated for 

their participation in the study using the 

contractor’s standard method of 

rewarding members of its Internet panel 

for survey participation. Participation is 

voluntary and will not require start-up, 

capital, or labor expenditures by 

respondents. 

By direction of the Commission.

determine the proper amount of 

payments to Federal contractors.
