CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

[Docket No. CPSC-2010-0112]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Extension of 
Collection; Contests, Challenges, and Awards

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) announces that 
the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for extension of approval of a generic collection of 
information for CPSC-sponsored contests, challenges, and awards. OMB 
previously approved the collection of information under Control Number 
3041-0151. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on 
January 31, 2024. On November 15, 2023, CPSC published a notice in the 
Federal Register to announce the agency's intention to seek extension 
of approval of the collection of information. The Commission received 
no comments. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission 
announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of 
approval of that collection of information.

DATES: Submit comments on the collection of information by February 23, 
2024.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email: 
[email protected] or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail 
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. In addition, 
written comments that are sent to OMB also should be submitted 
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-
2010-0112.

Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to extend the following currently 
approved generic collection of information:
    Title: Contests, Challenges, and Awards.
    OMB Number: 3041-0151.
    Type of Review: Extension of generic collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Contestants, award nominees, award nominators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: We estimate that there will be 500 
contest or award participants each year. In addition, 20 participants 
may be required to provide additional information upon selection.
    Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time to complete a 
contest or award submission is five hours per participant. In addition, 
the 20 participants expected to provide additional information upon 
selection will require approximately two additional hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: CPSC estimates that there will be 
500 participants who each require five hours to complete their 
submissions, and that 20 participants will be asked to provide 
additional information that will take two hours to complete. As a 
result, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of this collection 
is 2,540 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for the information 
collection is approximately $109,880 (2,540 hours x $43.26/hour), as 
estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau 
of Labor Statistics.\1\
