21652 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Notices 
Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law, no person is required to respond 
to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information has a currently valid OMB control number. 
Judging Process: After the application 
period ends, independent judges from outside the USPTO will review, score, and return the applications and their evaluations to the USPTO. Judges will evaluate applications based on the judging criteria and selection factors described above. Each application will be reviewed by multiple judges separately, and each judge will review multiple applications. To encourage fair, open, and impartial evaluations, judges will perform their reviews independently, and the reviews will not be released to the public unless release is required by law. After awards have been made, however, applicants may request from the USPTO a copy of the judges’ evaluations for their application with the judges’ names redacted. Such copies will be sent to either the address on file with the application or another address verified as belonging to the applicant. 
After the USPTO receives the scored 
applications from the judges, the USPTO will then forward top-scoring applications to separate judges from participating federal agencies to recommend award recipients. The goal is to complete this recommendation process within 90 days of the close of the application period. 
After receiving recommendations 
from these judges, final decisions regarding award recipients will be made at the discretion of the Director of the USPTO. Final results may not be challenged for relief before the USPTO. 
The actual number of selected award 
recipients will depend on the number and quality of submissions. Once final decisions regarding award recipients have been made, the USPTO will notify the awardees and schedule a public awards ceremony. The USPTO will attempt to notify awardees four weeks before the ceremony date if circumstances permit. 
Selection of Judges: Judges will be 
selected by the USPTO. Candidates with the following qualifications will be preferred: 
•Recognized subject matter expertise 
in trademarks, economics, business, law, public policy, or a related field; 
•Demonstrated understanding of 
trademark commercialization, branding, and/or marketing; •Demonstrated knowledge of 
humanitarian issues (specifically of humanitarian, environmental issues for the 2023 cycle), including the challenges presented by such issues; and 
•Experience analyzing the 
effectiveness of efforts to address humanitarian issues. 
Judges will be chosen to minimize 
conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when a judge: (a) has significant personal or financial interests in, or is an employee, officer, director, or agent of, any applicant participating in the competition; or (b) has a significant familial or financial relationship with an applicant who is participating. When conflicts of interest arise, conflicted judges must recuse themselves from evaluating the affected applications. 
Awards: Winners of the 2023 
competition will receive recognition for their humanitarian efforts at a public awards ceremony with the Director of the USPTO and/or other executive branch official(s) and will be featured on the USPTO’s website.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Testing and Labeling of Non-Children’s Products Containing or Designed To Use Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Labeling of Button Cell or Coin Battery Packaging 
AGENCY : Consumer Product Safety 
Commission. 
ACTION : Notice. 
SUMMARY : On February 9, 2023, the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to establish testing and labeling requirements for consumer products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, and for the labeling of button cell or coin battery packaging. The NPR estimated the burden associated with these requirements for children’s products, but did not include an estimated burden for testing and labeling of non- children’s products or for labeling button cell or coin battery packaging. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the CPSC requests comments on a proposed collection of information for Testing and Labeling of Non-Children’s Products Containing or Designed to Use Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Labeling of Button Cell or Battery Packaging. CPSC will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting a control number for this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The 
proposed rule to establish a Safety Standard and Notification Requirements for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries (88 FR 8692 (Feb. 9, 2023)), to be codified at 16 CFR part 1263, contains information collection requirements that are subject to public comment and review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). The NPR proposed to expand the collection of information for Testing and Certification of Children’s Products (OMB Control No. 3041–0159) to include testing and labeling of children’s products containing button cell or coin batteries (88 FR at 8717–19), but did not include burden estimates for a new collection of information for non-children’s products. In this notice we provide the estimated burden associated with the testing and labeling of non-children’s products, and for labeling of button cell and coin battery packaging.
1Under the PRA, an 
agency must publish the following information: 
DA title for the collection of 
information; DA summary of the collection of 
information; 
DA brief description of the need for 
the information and the proposed use of 
the information; 
DA description of the likely 
respondents and proposed frequency of response to the collection of information; 
DAn estimate of the burden that will 
result from the collection of information; and 
DNotice that comments may be 
submitted to OMB. 
44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). In accordance 
with this requirement, the Commission provides the following information: 
Title: Testing and Labeling of Non- 
Children’s Products Containing or Designed to Use Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Labeling of Button Cell or Coin Battery Packaging. 
Type of Review: New collection of 
information for testing and labeling of non-children’s products containing or designed to use button cell or coin batteries and labeling of button cell or coin battery packaging, as provided in the NPR to establish 16 CFR part 1263, which includes: (1) testing of non- children’s products containing or designed to use button cell or coin 
batteries, including creating a general certificate of conformity (GCC); (2) labeling requirements for non-children’s products and for button cell or coin battery packaging, including, as applicable, warnings on battery compartments, product packaging, accompanying written materials (i.e., instructions, manuals, hangtags, or inserts)) and websites; and (3) recordkeeping requirements. 
General Description of Collection 
Summary, Need, and Use of 
Information: Based on the requirements 
in Reese’s Law, 15 U.S.C. 2056e(a) and 
(b), and section 27(e) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2076(e), the proposed rule prescribes performance requirements for child- resistant battery compartments on children’s and non-children’s consumer products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, and warning requirements for button cell and coin battery packaging, consumer product packaging, consumer products, accompanying written materials such as instructions, manuals, inserts, or hangtags, and sales websites. These performance and labeling requirements are intended to reduce or eliminate injuries and deaths associated with children 6 years old and younger ingesting button cell or coin batteries. This collection of information is solely for non-children’s consumer products, meaning (1) products that contain or are 
designed to use button cell or coin batteries and are not designed or intended primarily for children 12 years old or younger, and (2) labeling of packages of button cell or coin batteries. 15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(2); 16 CFR part 1200. 
In addition to the testing and labeling 
requirements in the proposed rule, section 14(a) of the CPSA requires that manufacturers (including importers) of non-children’s products subject to a rule issue a general certificate of conformity. GCCs certify the products as being compliant with applicable regulations and must be based on a test of each product or a reasonable testing program. Unlike children’s products, products that have GCCs are not required to undergo third party testing. Section 14(g) and 16 CFR part 1110 state the requirements for GCCs. Among other requirements, each certificate must identify the manufacturer issuing the certificate, any laboratory conducting testing on which the certificate depends, the date and place of manufacture, the date and place where the product was tested, each party’s name, full mailing address, and telephone number, and contact information for the individual responsible for maintaining records of test results. The certificates must be in English. The certificates must be furnished to each distributor or retailer of the product and to the CPSC, if requested. 
Respondents and Frequency: 
Respondents include manufacturers and importers of non-children’s products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, and manufacturers and importers of packages of button cell or coin batteries. Manufacturers and importers must comply with the information collection requirements when non-children’s products that contain or use button cell or coin batteries, and packages of button cell or coin batteries, are manufactured or imported after the effective date of 
the proposed 16 CFR part 1263. 
Estimated Burden: CPSC has 
estimated the respondents’ burden in hours, and the estimated labor costs to the respondents. 
Estimate of Respondent Burden: The 
hourly reporting burden imposed on firms that manufacture or import non- children’s products that contain button cell or coin batteries, and firms that manufacture or import button cell or coin batteries, includes the time and cost to create and maintain records related to testing of consumer products (including issuing a GCC); product labeling, including required warning labels on, as applicable: consumer product battery compartments, product

2These estimates include data available for 
NAICS subsector 335912—primary battery 
manufacturing, though not all battery manufacturers would be impacted by the proposed rule. 
3Testing of button cell or coin battery packaging 
is not required by the proposed rule, but is required by section 3 of Reese’s Law. Notes to 15 U.S.C. 2056e. This burden estimate is an over-estimate likely large enough to also encompass testing of battery packaging, but such testing is a statutory requirement not included in the rulemaking.

Based on available data from the U.S. 
Census Bureau, CPSC estimates that 
there are 15,363 firms supplying non- children’s consumer products to the United States that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, or that manufacture or import button cell or coin batteries.
2Staff 
assumes that, on average, each manufacturer or importer has two product models that must be tested, labeled, and certified, annually. We estimate 3 hours per product to conduct required testing of battery compartments and to issue a GCC, and 1 hour to create and maintain records. Note that for button cell or battery packaging that requires only labeling pursuant to the NPR, and not product testing, this is an over-estimate.
3We estimate that the 
burden to update required product labeling is about 1 hour per product. Accordingly, as shown in Table 1, the total annual burden is 153,630 hours. Using the total compensation for all sales and office workers in goods- producing private industries of $43.37 per hour,
4the total estimated annual 
burden on firms supplying non- children’s products to comply with the rule is $6.67 million annually (153,630 hours × $43.37 = $6,662,933.10). 
The product labeling burden estimate 
is the largest reasonably possible, assuming every manufacturer (including importer) of consumer products containing or designed to use button cell or coin batteries, and every manufacturer (including importer) of button cell or coin batteries, has to 
modify four product labels (battery 
compartment, packaging, accompanying written materials, and websites) per product. This is likely an over-estimate. Based on staff’s review of non-children’s products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, and battery packaging, many of these products already contain some type of warning on the product labels. Accordingly, CPSC staff believes it possible that the burden to modify product labels could be very low. 
Under the OMB’s regulations (5 CFR 
1320.3(b)(2)), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to comply with a collection of information that would be incurred by persons in the ‘‘normal course of their activities’’ are excluded from the burden estimate where the disclosure activities required to comply are ‘‘usual and customary.’’ If warning statements on battery compartments, product packaging, and instructions/manuals is usual and customary for non-children’s products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries, then any burden associated with warning labels would be ‘‘usual and customary’’ and not within the definition of ‘‘burden’’ under the OMB’s regulations. We request comments on this potential estimate of no burden for product labeling, including the preliminary analysis that the largest possible burden estimate for the proposed standard to require product labeling is 30,726 hours at a cost of $1,332,586.62 annually. 
Labor Cost of Respondent Burden. 
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, the total compensation cost per hour worked for all private industry workers was $43.37 (September 2022, https://www.bls.gov/ news.release/archives/ecec_12152022.pdf). Based on this analysis, CPSC estimates that the labor required to respond would impose a cost to industry of approximately $6,662,933.10 annually (153,630 hours × $43.37 = 
$6,662,933.10). 
Cost to the Federal Government. The 
estimated annual cost of the information 
collection requirements to the Federal Government is approximately $4,448, which includes 60 staff hours to examine and evaluate the information, as needed, for CPSC’s compliance activities. This is based on a GS–12, step 5 level salaried employee. The average hourly wage rate for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (effective as of January 2023) is $51.15 (GS–12, step 5). This represents 69.0 percent of total compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ September 2022, Table 2., percentage of wages and salaries for all civilian management, professional, and related employees: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ archives/ecec_ 12152022.pdf). Adding 
an additional 31.0 percent for benefits brings average annual compensation for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee to $74.13 per hour. Assuming that approximately 60 hours will be required annually, this results in an annual cost of $4,448 ($74.13 per hour × 60 hours 
= $4,447.8). 
Comments. CPSC requests that 
interested parties submit comments regarding this proposed information collection (see the 
ADDRESSES section at 
the beginning of this notice). Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the Commission specifically invites comments on:

information is necessary for the proper 
performance of CPSC’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;

Annual Burden Hours: 50. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District, (SWG) seeks to conduct a survey of commercial shipping companies that use the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) to transport commodities along the Texas Coast. The area includes the crossings of the Brazos River and Colorado River in Texas. SWG will incorporate survey information into a General Investigation Feasibility Study Update of long-term solutions to shoaling and allisions near the intersections of the GIWW and the Brazos and Colorado rivers that could result in a potential loss of the navigation pool at the flood gates and locks. As part of the study, we are surveying shippers that use the GIWW to help us better understand the potential economic effects of a long- term disruption in navigation through the area. Part of the study requires an examination of how shippers would respond if navigation crossing the Brazos River and Colorado River was restricted for an extended period, or if the flood gates and locks are widened. The survey will provide information to determine if tentative project costs would be justified by reducing risks of losing the navigation pool along the GIWW.
