above, the rescoring of the frozen files will then 

provide the impact of any confirmed errors on the 

participants’ credit scores. 

19 At the registration Web site, a person may take 

the time to read several disclosures, including a 

privacy disclosure and an outline of the various 

steps of the study that every participant agrees to 

undertake. The consumer is then asked to enter 

basic contact information (e.g., name, address, 

telephone number, best time to be contacted further 

about the study) and to enter an electronic signature 

certifying the consumer’s consent to participate in 

the study. For those who may not have Internet 

access to register, the contractor would also have a 

procedure to mail the appropriate disclosures and 

study steps to the respondent and then receive back 

enrolment information and the consumer’s signed 

consent in paper form. 

analyzing the redacted credit reports 

and related scores of the nonrespondents, we obtain a final check on 

the degree to which the enhanced 

procedures were effective in achieving a 

nationally representative sample of 

credit reports. 

2. Estimated Hours Burden 

Consumer participation in the 

proposed national study would involve 

an initial preparation for the in-depth 

interview and time spent by participants 

to understand, review, and if deemed 

necessary, dispute information in their 

credit reports. Invitation letters will be 

sent in progressive waves in order to 

obtain approximately 1,000 participants. 

The individuals who receive these 

letters are drawn from the SC list 

discussed above and will be asked to go 

directly to a designated Web site for 

enrollment if they wish to participate; 

registration is expected to take at most 

15 minutes per participant.19 The 

registration process thus comes to 

approximately 250 hours (reckoned at 1/ 

4 hour for each of 1,000 consumers). 

For the purpose of calculating burden 

under the PRA regarding the review 

process of the credit reports, FTC staff 

submits the following estimates that are 

based on the contractor’s experience 

with the second pilot study. Some 

participants prepare thoroughly in 

advance of the in-depth interview of 

their credit reports. In such situations, 

even complicated reports may generally 

be finished under 30 minutes. Other 

consumers may not find time for 

significant preparation in advance of the 

in-depth review, and in such cases the 

interview could take up to an hour. The 

participants in the second pilot study 

reported taking an average of 69 minutes 

(median 53 minutes) to prepare for the 

interview, with 90% taking between 10 

and 180 minutes. The interviews 

themselves took an average of 19 

minutes (median 15 minutes) with 90% 

taking between 5 and 45 minutes. 

Overall, the average combined time for 

preparation and the interview was about 

90 minutes (1.5 hours). For a national 

study involving 1,000 consumers, FTC 

staff thus estimates the burden hours for 

the review process to be approximately 

1,500 hours (1,000 consumers x 1.5 

hours). Further adding on the time spent 

for the registration process (0.25 hours 

per participant), the total burden hours 

come to approximately 1,750 hours. 

3. Estimated Cost Burden 

The cost per consumer for their 

participation should be negligible. 

Participation is voluntary and it will not 

require any start-up or capital 

expenditure. There is no labor time 

expenditure beyond the 1.75 hours per 

consumer estimated above. Participants 

may receive an honorarium to 

compensate them for their time. The 

amount will be determined by FTC staff 

in consultation with the contractor 

according to an analysis of customary 

procedures and a consideration of 

response rates within key categories, 

such as, response rates for consumers 

with impaired credit. As with the pilot 

studies, participants will not pay for 

their credit reports or credit scores.

National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; CareerTrac 

Summary: Under the provisions of 

section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Fogarty 

International Center (FIC) and National 

Institute of Environmental Health 

Sciences (NIEHS), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. This proposed information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on May 12, 2009, 

page 22172, and allowed 60-days for 

public comment. No comments were 

received from this notification regarding 

the cost and hour burden estimates. The 

purpose of this announcement is to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

comment. 

The National Institutes of Health may 

not conduct or sponsor, and the 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, an information collection that has 

been extended, revised, or implemented 

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Proposed Collection: Title: 

CareerTrac. Type of Information 

Collection Request: Revision (OMB No.: 

0925–0568 Expiration: Aug. 31, 2009). 

Need and Use of Information Collection: 

This data collection system is being 

developed to track, evaluate and report 

short and long-term outputs, outcomes 

and impacts of international trainees 

involved in health research training 

programs—specifically tracking this for 

at least ten years following training by 

having Principal Investigators enter data 

after trainees have completed the 

program. The data collection system 

provides a streamlined, Web-based 

application permitting principal 

investigators to record career 

achievement progress by trainee on a 

voluntary basis. FIC and NIEHS 

management will use this data to 

monitor, evaluate and adjust grants to 

ensure desired outcomes are achieved, 

comply with OMB part requirements, 

respond to congressional inquiries, and 

as a guide to inform future strategic and 

management decisions regarding the 

grant program. 

Frequency of Response: Annual and 

periodic Affected Public: none Type of 

Respondents: Principal Investigators 

and/or their administrators funded by 

FIC and NIEHS. The annual reporting 

burden is as follows: Estimated Number 

of Respondents: 275; Estimated Number 

of Responses per Respondent: 1; 

Average Burden Hours per Response 7.5 

and Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours Requested: 2063. The annualized 

cost to respondents is estimated at 

$82,500. There are no Capital Costs to 

report. There are no Operating or 

Maintenance Costs to report. 

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

on one or more of the following points: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the function of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) 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; (3) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
