Bethesda, MD 20814, 301–504–7671,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the 

CPSC has submitted the following 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for review and clearance: Durable 

Nursery Products Exposure Survey. 

On August 14, 2008, the Consumer 

Product Safety Improvement Act 

(‘‘CPSIA’’) (Pub. L. 110–314) was 

enacted. Section 104 of the CPSIA 

(referred to as the ‘‘the Danny Keysar 

Child Product Safety Notification Act’’) 

(15 U.S.C. 2056a), requires the 

Commission to study and develop safety 

standards for infant and toddler 

products. Such durable infant and 

toddler products include, but are not 

limited to: Full-size cribs and nonfullsize cribs; toddler beds; high chairs, 

booster chairs, and hook-on chairs; bath 

seats; gates and other enclosures for 

confining a child; play yards; stationary 

activity centers; infant carriers; strollers; 

walkers; swings; and bassinets and 

cradles. The Commission is required to 

evaluate the currently existing voluntary 

standards for durable infant or toddler 

products and promulgate a mandatory 

standard substantially the same as, or 

more stringent than, the applicable 

voluntary standard. 

In evaluating the current voluntary 

standards, CPSC staff requires certain 

additional data to assess the potential 

future impacts of the CPSIA mandatory 

efforts on durable infant and toddler 

products. The draft Durable Nursery 

Products Exposure Survey (‘‘DNPES’’ or 

‘‘survey’’) is a national probability 

sample of households with children five 

years old and younger, designed to 

determine the prevalence of durable 

infant and toddler product ownership in 

households, as well as the frequency 

and manner of use of such products. In 

particular, the survey will seek 

information regarding ownership 

characteristics; the life cycle of the 

products; and consumer behaviors and 

perceptions regarding such products. 

The survey will gather information on 

the characteristics and usage patterns of 

24 categories of durable infant or 

toddler products and solicit information 

on accidents or injuries associated with 

those products. The information 

collected from the DNPES will help 

inform the Commission’s evaluation of 

consumer products and product use, by 

providing insight and information into 

consumer perceptions and usage 

patterns. In addition to assisting the 

Commission’s rulemaking efforts, such 

information will also support ongoing 

voluntary standards activities in which 

the Commission participates, 

compliance and enforcement efforts, as 

well as information and education 

campaigns. The data also will help 

identify consumer safety issues that 

need additional research. 

Understanding better how these 

products are used by consumers will 

help the Commission address potential 

hazards and assess the sufficiency of 

current voluntary standards. 

A small group of respondents (37) 

from different backgrounds (including 

both English and Spanish speakers) 

were asked to participate in cognitive 

testing (for the telephone survey) or 

usability testing (for the Web version of 

the survey) to provide extensive 

feedback regarding the clarity of specific 

questions. Results of the cognitive and 

usability testing were used to revise the 

survey instruments, but will not be 

included in the survey results for the 

main data collection. A mail paper 

screener will be sent to 16,667 families 

to determine whether sampled 

respondents are eligible for full DNPES 

participation. Eligible respondents who 

have children ages 0 to 5 years in their 

household will have Web- and 

computer-assisted telephone 

interviewing (‘‘CATI’’) survey options for 

completing the full extended DNPES. 

The DNPES will include approximately 

24 categories with questions about 

different infant or toddler products, but 

each respondent will be limited to a 

maximum of three categories. The CATI 

and Web programs will also ensure that 

each respondent’s questions are limited 

to the portions of the survey for which 

they have been selected. 

In the Federal Register of August 19, 

2010 (75 FR 51245), the CPSC published 

a 60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the proposed collection of 

information. No comments were 

received. However, CPSC staff, on its 

own initiative, modified the burden 

hours to reflect more accurately the 

estimated burden of the collection of 

information based on feedback received 

from respondents of the cognitive and 

usability tests. 

Each cognitive interview or usability 

test takes approximately one hour, for 

an estimated total of 37 burden hours. 

The initial mail paper screener for the 

main data collection will be sent to 

approximately 16,667 households and 

will take approximately five minutes 

(.083333 hours) to complete. An 

estimated 2,000 eligible respondents 

will be selected for telephone extended 

interviews (1,500 respondents) or Web 

surveys (500 respondents). Each 

interview or survey will take 

approximately 35 minutes (.583333 

hours) to complete. Although the staff 

initially contemplated approximately 30 

minutes per interview or survey, and 

four product categories per respondent, 

that number was revised to 35 minutes 

per interview or survey, with a three 

product limit per respondent, based on 

responses to the cognitive testing and 

usability testing. The total estimated 

burden for all respondents is 2,592.6 

hours, rounded up to 2,593 hours (167 

hours more than the 2,426 hours 

previously proposed). The total cost to 

the respondents for the total burden is 

estimated to be $71,659 ($5,138 more 

than the $66,521 previously proposed), 

based on an hourly rate of $27.42 (all 

workers in private industry in Table 9 

of the June 2010 Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (‘‘BLS’’)). The hourly 

rate data has been updated to 

correspond with the most recently 

available BLS data. 

The estimated cost to the federal 

government is $1,026,763. Since the 

study extends over three years, 

however, the estimated annualized cost 

of the information collection 

requirements to the government is 

$342,254.33, rounded down to 

$342,254, for the three-year period. This 

sum includes contractors to implement 

and conduct the DNPES survey 

($729,093), 21 staff months ($297,670) at 

an average level of GS–14 step 5 

(($119,238/.701) ÷ 12 months) × 21 

months), using a 70.1 percent ratio of 

wages and salary to total compensation 

from Table 1 of the June 2010 Employer 

Costs for Employee Compensation, 

published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics.
