Consequently, although financial, legal,
and clerical personnel may be involved
in the information collection process,
FTC staff now assumes that midmanagement personnel and outside
legal counsel will handle most of the
tasks involved in gathering and
producing responsive information, and
has applied an average rate of $250/hour
for all labor costs. Thus the labor costs
per company may range between
$68,750 (275 hours × $250/hour) and
$211,250 (845 hours × $250/hour).

C. Estimated Annual Capital or Other
Non-labor Costs
Staff anticipates that the capital or
other non-labor costs associated with
the information requests will be
minimal. Although the information
requests may require the respondent to
store copies of the requested
information provided to the
Commission, responding Firms should
already have in place the means to store
information of the volume requested.
Respondents may need to purchase
minimal office supplies to respond to
the request. Staff estimates that each
respondent will spend $500 for such
costs regarding the information request,
for a total additional non-labor cost
burden of $20,000 ($500 × 40 Firms).
V. Request for Comment
Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
federal agencies must obtain approval
from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ means
agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to
a third party. 44 U.S.C. 3502(3); 5 CFR
1320.3(c). As required by Section
3506(c)(2) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506,
on October 3, 2013, the FTC published
its First Notice seeking public
comments on a study of PAE activity.
The FTC will provide OMB with the
comments received in response to the
First Notice.
Pursuant to Section 3507 of the PRA,
additional public comments regarding
this information collection request may
be submitted to OMB and the FTC.
Comments received by June 18, 2014

to OMB should be addressed to: Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for the Federal
Trade Commission, New Executive

Proposed Project
Testing Act Early Messages and
Materials for ‘‘Learn the Signs. Act
Early.’’—Phase II,—New—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Developmental milestones are used to
track growth and development in
children. Various milestones correspond
to specific stages in a child’s growth and
development (e.g. crawling, walking,
smiling, and waving ‘‘bye-bye’’). Not all
children develop at the same pace;
however, these developmental
milestones serve as a guide in
monitoring children as they grow.
According to the CDC, approximately
one in six children in the United States
have developmental-behavioral
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:17 May 16, 2014
Jkt 232001
disabilities such as autism, intellectual
disability, or attention-deficit/
hyperactivity disorder. Despite the fact
that most of these children will show
mild developmental delays (i.e., failing
to reach some of the milestones
associated with their stage of
development) by the age of two, less
than half of these children will be
identified before they start school.
Missing this window of opportunity for
diagnosing developmental delays in
children creates a serious public health
problem. The late identification of
developmental delays can lead to
increased costs for future interventions
and can be detrimental to the child’s
ability to learn.
The CDC initiated the ‘‘Learn the
Signs. Act Early.’’ (LTSAE) campaign in
2004 in an effort to improve the
likelihood that children with
developmental disabilities are identified
and connected with appropriate services
at the earliest age possible. To this end,
one of the campaign’s overall goals is to
empower parents to ‘‘act early’’ if they
have concerns about their child’s
development. Children from families
insured by Medicaid and those from
families with low incomes are often
identified with developmental delays
and disabilities at a later age than other
children, and thus are the target
audience for the campaign.
The study described in this
information collection request seeks to
assess the impact of ‘‘act early’’
messages embedded within LTSAE
campaign materials. To achieve this
goal, CDC will work with a contractor,
Westat, to test revised draft messages
and materials with low-income parents
through focus groups and intercept
interviews administered via the web on
a tablet device. Parents/guardians who
are age 18–55 and who have children
age 5 or younger will be recruited from
six primary care practices (3 in the
Washington, DC/Baltimore, Maryland
metropolitan area and three in the
Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area) to
participate in focus groups and/or an
intercept interview.
Selected primary care practices will
see children from low-income families
as part of their patient population. Each
of the six selected practices will receive
study promotional materials, including
a poster to hang in the office and
waiting room as well as handouts to
leave at the front desk. These materials
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703

will advertise the focus groups and
outline eligibility criteria.
Parents interested in participating
will be advised to call an 800 number
to be screened and scheduled for a
group discussion (if eligible). The 800
number will be staffed by the Westat
study team who will be responsible for
screening and scheduling.
Representatives from each of the
practices will be provided with brief
‘‘talking points’’ and study (Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) to refer to if
interested parents have any basic
questions about the study.
It is estimated that 80 respondents
will have to be screened in order to
recruit 40 participants for the focus
groups. Each screening will take
approximately five minutes. The
estimated response burden for the
screening process is seven hours. The
focus groups will have 10 participants
each. Four focus groups will be
conducted in two locations (the
metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia
and Washington, DC/Baltimore,
Maryland), yielding a total of 40
participants. Parents/guardians will be
asked to complete an informed consent,
which will take approximately 15
minutes to review, and the focus group
discussion using the moderator’s guide
will take 60 minutes to complete. Focus
group activities will have a total burden
of 50 hours.
The intercept interviews will take
place in the waiting rooms or right
outside the waiting rooms if feasible.
Parents will be recruited as they are
waiting for their appointment. Again, it
is estimated that 80 respondents will
have to be screened in order to recruit
40 participants. The screening process
should take approximately five minutes.
The estimated response burden for the
screening process is seven hours. We
plan to conduct a total of 40 intercept
interviews. Twenty interviews will be
conducted in each of two locations
(Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area and
Washington, DC/Baltimore, Maryland
metropolitan area). The intercept
interview will be conducted as a
computer-assisted personal interview
(CAPI) and will take each respondent
approximately 15 minutes to complete,
for an estimated total burden of 10
hours.
The total estimated burden for this
data collection is 74 hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.

Title: National Extranet Optimized
Runaway and Homeless Youth
Management Information System
(NEORHYMIS) Version 3.0.
OMB No.: 0970–0123.
Description: The Runaway and
Homeless Youth Act, as amended by
Public Law 106–71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et
seq.), mandates that the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
report regularly to Congress on the
status of HHS-funded programs serving
runaway and homeless youth. Such
reporting is similarly mandated by the
Government Performance and Results
Act. Organizations funded under the
Runaway and Homeless Youth program
are required by statute (42 U.S.C. 5712,
42 U.S.C. 5714–2) to meet certain data
collection and reporting requirements.
These requirements include
maintenance of client statistical records
on the number and the characteristics of
the runaway and homeless youth, and
youth at risk of family separation, who
participate in the project, and the
services provided to such youth by the
project.
Respondents: States localities, private
entities and coordinated networks of
such entities. Typical respondents are
non-profit community based
organizations who are reporting on the
youth that they serve through their
Basic Center, Transitional Living and
Street Outreach programs.
