SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of October 4, 2012, and 

October 17, 2012 (77 FR 60685, 77 FR 

63799), the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission published a notice in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the 

agency’s intention to seek extension of 

approval of the collection of information 

required in the Requirements for 

Electrically Operated Toys or Other 

Electrically Operated Articles Intended 

for Use by Children (16 CFR Part 1505). 

No comments were received in response 

to that notice. Therefore, by publication 

of this notice, the Commission 

announces that it has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for extension of 

approval of that collection of 

information without change. 

The regulations in Part 1505 establish 

performance and labeling requirements 

for electrically operated toys and 

children’s articles to reduce 

unreasonable risks of injury to children 

from electric shock, electrical burns, 

and thermal burns associated with those 

products. Section 1505.4(a)(3) of the 

regulations requires manufacturers and 

importers of electrically operated toys 

and children’s articles to maintain 

records for 3 years containing 

information about: (1) Material and 

production specifications; (2) the 

quality assurance program used; (3) 

results of all tests and inspections 

conducted; and (4) sales and 

distribution of electrically operated toys 

and children’s articles. 

The records of testing and other 

information required by the regulations 

allow the Commission to determine if 

electrically operated toys and children’s 

articles comply with the requirements of 

the regulations in part 1505. If the 

Commission determines that products 

fail to comply with the regulations, this 

information also enables the 

Commission and the firm to: (i) identify 

specific lots or production lines of 

products which fail to comply with 

applicable requirements; and (ii) notify 

distributors and retailers in the event 

those products are subject to recall. 

We estimate that about 40 firms are 

subject to the testing and recordkeeping 

requirements of the regulations. Each 

one may have an average of 10 products 

each year, for which testing and 

recordkeeping would be required, 

resulting in approximately 400 records. 

We estimate that the tests required by 

the regulations can be performed on one 

product in 16 hours and that 

recordkeeping can be performed for one 

product in 4 hours. Thus, the estimated 

testing burden hours are 6,400 (16 hours 

x 400), and the estimated recordkeeping 

burden hours are 1,600 hours (400 

records x 4 hours). 

In addition, we estimate that each 

firm may spend 30 minutes or less per 

model on the labeling requirements. 

Assuming each firm produces 10 new 

models each year, the estimated labeling 

burden hours are 200 hours (40 firms x 

10 models per firm x 0.5 hours per 

model = 200 hours) per year. The 

estimated total burden hours for 

recordkeeping and labeling are 1,800 

hours for all firms (1,600 hours for 

recordkeeping + 200 hours for labeling). 

The hourly wage for the time required 

to perform the required testing and 

recordkeeping is approximately $61.75 

(Bureau of Labor Statistics: total 

compensation for management, 

professional, and related workers in 

goods-producing private industries: 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs, and the hourly 

wage for the time required to maintain 

the labeling requirements is 

approximately $27.64 (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, total compensation for all 

sales and office workers in goodsproducing, private industries: http:// 

www.bls.gov/ncs). The annualized total 

cost to the industry is estimated to be 

$444,952 (6,400 × $61.75 + 1,800 × 

$27.64).
