Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 34 / Monday, February 22, 2010 / Notices
Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to
conduct studies and investigations
relating to the causes and prevention of
deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses,
other health impairments, and economic
losses associated with consumer
products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that the
Commission may conduct research,
studies and investigations on the safety
of consumer products or test consumer
products and develop product safety
test methods and testing devices.
In order to better identify and
evaluate the risks of product-related
incidents, the Commission staff seeks to
solicit consumer opinions and
perceptions related to consumer product
use, on a voluntary basis, through
questions posted on the CPSC’s
Consumer Opinion Forum. Through the
forum, consumers will be able to answer
questions and provide information
regarding their experiences, opinions
and/or perceptions on the use or pattern
of use of a specific product or type of
product. The Consumer Opinion Forum
is intended for consumers, 18 years and
older, who have access to the Internet
and e-mail, who voluntarily register to
participate through a participant
registration process, and respond to the
questions posted in the Consumer
Opinion Forum. A link to the Consumer
Opinion Forum login page is available
on the CPSC Web site, http://
www.cpsc.gov. Consumers may link
directly to the login page for the
Consumer Opinion Forum at https://
www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/cof/login.aspx.
When new questions are posted on the
CPSC Web site, registered participants
will be invited via e-mail to respond to
various questions, but not more
frequently than once every four weeks.
The information collected from the
Consumer Opinion Forum will help
inform the Commission’s evaluation of
consumer products and product use by
providing insight and information into
consumer perceptions and usage
patterns. Such information also may
help the Commission in its efforts to
support voluntary standards activities
and help the staff identify areas
regarding consumer safety issues that
need additional research. In addition,
based on the information obtained, the
staff may be able to provide safety
information to the public that is easier
to read and is more easily understood by
a wider range of consumers. For
example, the staff may be able to
propose new language or revisions to
existing language in warning labels or
manuals if the staff finds that certain
warning language is perceived by many
participants to be unclear or subject to
misinterpretation. Finally, the

Consumer Opinion Forum may be used
to invite consumer opinions and
feedback regarding the effectiveness of
product recall communications and in
determining what action consumers are
taking in response to such
communications and why they are
taking those actions. This may help
tailor future recall activities to increase
the success of those activities. If this
information is not collected, the
Commission would not have available
useful information regarding consumer
experiences, opinions, and perceptions
related to specific product use, which
the Commission relies on in its ongoing
efforts to improve the safety of
consumer products on behalf of
consumers.
In the Federal Register of November
13, 2009 (74 FR 58610), the CPSC
published a 60-day notice requesting
public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments
were received.
Burden Estimates: During the past two
years, 2,300 individuals have registered
to participate in the Consumer Opinion
Forum. Although the registration is still
open, the Commission staff does not
expect the number of registrants will
exceed 5,000 over the next few years.
The Commission staff estimates that
each respondent will take 10 minutes or
less to complete the one-time
registration process. Based on that
estimate, the registration burden is
estimated to have been approximately
192 burden hours per year for 2,300
registrants.
The Commission staff further
estimates that the amount of time
required to respond to each set of
questions on the Consumer Opinion
Forum will be five minutes or less. The
Commission staff foresees the
possibility of up to four surveys per
year. If, at the maximum, each
respondent responds to four sets of
questions in one year, the yearly burden
would result in approximately 20
minutes per year for each respondent.
Based on an estimated 44 percent
response rate for 2,300 potential
respondents, the annual burden could
total 337 hours. If as many as 5,000
registrants respond, the Commission
staff estimates that the annual burden
could total approximately 733 hours per
year (44 percent response rate for 5,000
potential respondents at five minutes
per survey for four surveys).
The Commission staff estimates that
the total estimated burden for new
registrations and surveys, combined,
will not exceed 925 hours annually (no
more than 733 hours for four surveys
per year, plus no more than 192 hours
for new registrations). The Commission

staff estimated the value of the time of
respondents to this collection of
information at $29.39 an hour. This is
based on the 2009 U.S. Department of
Labor Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation. At this valuation, the
estimated annual cost to the public of
this information collection will be
approximately $27,000 per year.
The Commission will expend
approximately one month of
professional staff time annually for
preparing questions and analysis of
responses for each survey. Assuming
that four surveys will be conducted
annually, (and four staff months) the
total annual cost to the Federal
government of the collection of
information is estimated to be $55,360.
