SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks approval for the following
collection of information.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On June 3, 2025, the Commission voted (2-0) to publish this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Grant Program
Application.
OMB Number: New.
Type of Request: New information collection request.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of Information: The Nicholas and Zachary
Burt Memorial Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2022 (NZB
Act) authorizes CPSC to provide funding for the Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning Prevention Grant Program (COPPGP). 15 U.S.C 2090. The COPPGP
provides two-year grants to eligible state, local or tribal governments
to reduce deaths and injuries from carbon monoxide poisoning. The grant
awards can range from $50,000 to $400,000 per applicant. Prospective
applicants will be able to access the grant application on <a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a>
and apply electronically through GrantSolutions. Applicants will be
required to complete common forms \2\ used for federal grants, as well
as up to six additional attachments specific to COPPGP. Awards are
posted to the CPSC's website and via press release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ A common form is an approved information collection and can
be used by two or more agencies, or government-wide, for the same
purpose. See <a href="https://pra.digital.gov/clearance-types/">https://pra.digital.gov/clearance-types/</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: The COPPGP provides eligible State, local, and Tribal
governments with funding to purchase and install carbon monoxide alarms
and to develop training and public education programs in accordance
with 15 U.S.C. 2090(e). The information collected through the
application for COPPGP grants is used to determine eligibility and to
provide funding to reduce deaths and injuries from carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal or U.S. Territory
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: CPSC expects up to 35 respondents
annually.
Frequency: Annual.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: To apply for the COPPGP, in addition
to completing common forms,\3\ an applicant would typically provide six
attachments specific to the grant program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The common forms include: SF-424A Budget Information--Non-
Construction (OMB No. 4040-0006), SF-424B Assurances--Non-
Construction Programs (OMB No. 4040-0007), Project Abstract Summary
(OMB No. 4040-0019), SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance (OMB
No. 4040-0020), and SF-LLL Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (OMB
No. 4040-0013). To avoid double counting, the estimated burden for
this collection does not include burden approved under these common
forms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<bullet> Attachment 1, the introduction, provides a table of
contents and introduction and is estimated to take one hour to prepare,
on average.
<bullet> Attachment 2, legal eligibility, provides references
necessary to support that the applicant meets the legal eligibility
requirements of the NZB Act and is estimated to take one hour to
prepare, on average.
<bullet> Attachment 3, the work plan, provides the framework and
describes all aspects of the proposed project and is estimated to take
40 hours to prepare, on average.
<bullet> Attachment 4, the budget table, provides a budget
narrative and table for the 2-year project schedule and is estimated to
take 10 hours to prepare, on average.
<bullet> Attachment 5, cost share, is an additional narrative
documenting cost share on the budget (not required for tribal
governments) and is estimated to take five hours to prepare, on
average.
<bullet> Attachment 6, the indirect cost rate agreement,
substantiates indirect costs that the NZB Act states may be reimbursed
as permissible administrative costs and is estimated to take one hour
to prepare, on average.
CPSC estimates it would take the applicant approximately 58 hours
to compile attachments 1-6, except for tribal governments which would
take approximately 53 hours because attachment 5 is not required. CPSC
expects to receive 35 grant applications that utilize the attachments
described, for a total burden hour estimate of 2,030 hours (58 hours
per application x 35 applications). The actual burden may be slightly
lower depending on the number of tribal government applications.
However, to estimate the maximum burden, these estimates assume all
applications to be non-tribal government applications.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Cost: CPSC estimates the compensation
for the creation and compilation of attachments 1-6 is $62.92 per hour
(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation,'' September 2024, total compensation for state and local
government workers: <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_12172024.pdf">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_12172024.pdf</a>). Therefore, the estimated annual cost of the burden
requirements is $127,728 ($62.92 per hour x 2,030 hours = $127,727.60).
Based on this analysis, the collection of information would impose a
total burden to applicants of 2,030 hours at a cost of $127,728.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
