2This includes 20 SEFs that are currently 

registered with the Commission and one dormant 

SEF that is in the process of filing for reinstatement 

in accordance with Commission regulation 37.3(d) 

and is currently operating under staff no-action 

relief. See CFTC Letter No. 20–29, available at 

https://www.cftc.gov/csl/20-29/download. 

3 17 CFR 145.9. 

4The Commission notes that collection 3038– 

0074 includes an additional 1,200 burden hours for 

SEF registration applicants that have not been 

affected by this amendment. Therefore, the total 

burden for this collection is 22,200 hours. 

the collection listed below. An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Title: Core Principles and Other 

Requirements for Swap Execution 

Facilities (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0074). This is a request for extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) 

added new section 5h to the Commodity 

Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) to impose 

requirements concerning the registration 

and operation of swap execution 

facilities (‘‘SEFs’’), which the 

Commission has incorporated in part 37 

of its regulations. These information 

collections are needed for the 

Commission to ensure that SEFs comply 

with these requirements. Among other 

requirements, part 37 of the 

Commission’s regulations imposes SEF 

registration requirements for a trading 

platform or system, obligates SEFs to 

provide transaction confirmations to 

swap counterparties, and requires SEFs 

to comply with 15 core principles. 

Collection 3038–0074 was created in 

response to the part 37 regulatory 

requirements for SEFs. 

In April 2018, the Commission 

published a 30-Day Notice of Intent to 

Renew Collection 3038–0074 (30-Day 

Renewal Notice) and stated that 25 SEFs 

were registered with the Commission.1

However, since publication of the 30- 

Day Renewal Notice, the Commission 

has granted permanent registration to 

several additional SEFs, while others 

SEFs have had their registrations 

vacated or have been deemed dormant 

under part 40 of the Commission 

regulations, for a total of 21 registered 

SEFs.2 Therefore, the Commission is 

revising the below burden statement for 

OMB Control No. 3038–0074 to account 

for the decrease in the number of 

registered SEFs. 

With respect to the collection of 

information, the CFTC invites 

comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have a practical use; 

• The accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

You should submit only information 

that you wish to make available 

publicly. If you wish the Commission to 

consider information that you believe is 

exempt from disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, a petition 

for confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in § 145.9 

of the Commission’s regulations.3

The Commission reserves the right, 

but shall have no obligation, to review, 

pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or 

remove any or all of your submission 

from http://www.cftc.gov that it may 

deem to be inappropriate for 

publication, such as obscene language. 

All submissions that have been redacted 

or removed that contain comments on 

the merits of the ICR will be retained in 

the public comment file and will be 

considered as required under the 

Administrative Procedure Act and other 

applicable laws, and may be accessible 

under the Freedom of Information Act. 

Burden Statement: The Commission 

is revising its estimate of the burden for 

this collection to account for the change 

in the number of SEFs currently 

registered with the Commission. The 

respondent burden for this collection is 

estimated to be as follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 21,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 21,000.4

Frequency of Collection: As 

applicable. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

Dated: January 13, 2021.

federal agencies must obtain approval 

from OMB for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency datacollection studies. The PRA establishes 

procedures agencies must follow to 

obtain OMB approval for a collection of 

information, including notice and a 

review of comments, among others. 

Agencies must provide notice of the 

proposed collection of information in 

the Federal Register, and provide a 60- 

day comment period, before submitting 

the collection to OMB for approval. 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). Agencies then 

must evaluate any public comments and 

publish another notice in the Federal 

Register. Id. 3507(a)(1). 

In accordance with these procedures, 

on August 31, 2020, CPSC published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the agency’s intent to seek 

approval of a new collection of 

information on a CPSC Child Strength 

Study that will assess the strength 

capabilities of children. 85 FR 53800 

(Aug. 31, 2020). Section C. Comments, 

below, summarizes and addresses the 

comments CPSC received. 

B. Study 

Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C. 2051–2089) 

authorizes the Commission to conduct 

studies and investigations relating to the 

causes and prevention of deaths, 

accidents, injuries, illnesses, other 

health impairments, and economic 

losses associated with consumer 

products. 15 U.S.C. 2054(a). Section 5(b) 

of the CPSA further provides that the 

Commission may conduct research, 

studies, and investigations on the safety 

of consumer products or test consumer 

products and develop product safety 

test methods and testing devices. Id. 

2054(b). 

CPSC uses data on human strength 

capabilities to develop product safety 

standards and inform other CPSC staff 

activities. CPSC’s product safety work 

includes developing mandatory 

standards, enforcing existing safety 

requirements, and working with 

voluntary standards organizations to 

improve the safety of consumer 

products, including children’s products. 

Products that are intended for children, 

and products that are not intended for 

children, can pose a hazard to a child 

(e.g., if the product or a component of 

it breaks, collapses, or liberates a small 

part). Information about children’s 

strength capabilities is essential to 

improving product safety, because it can 

inform the development of performance 

requirements that consider children’s 

interactions with product components. 

Manufacturers can also use this 

information when designing products. 

In the 1970s, CPSC sponsored studies 

to conduct research on human size and 

strength; specifically, Snyder et al. 

(1975 1 and 1977 2), studied child 

anthropometry and Owings et al. (1975 3

and 1977 4), studied child strength. The 

research results were instrumental for 

many years in developing product safety 

standards; however, because the 

strength studies occurred more than 40 

years ago, the information needs to be 

updated. Moreover, more recent studies 

lack information on younger children 

and additional strength measures, and 

only collected data from a very small 

number of children. CPSC expects that 

the proposed information-collection 

activity would provide CPSC staff with 

information that reflects more 

accurately the strength capabilities of 

children today, as well as data that are 

not available in literature currently, 

including data on younger children and 

additional strength measures. 

The proposed study would collect 

data from a sample of up to 

approximately 800 children between the 

ages of 3 months and 5 years to assess 

children’s strength capabilities. The 

proposed study would collect data on 

bite strength for children ages 3 months 

through 5 years, and strength data for 

children ages 6 months through 5 years. 

The information collected from the 

proposed study would provide CPSC 

staff with updated child strength 

measures, including upper and lower 

extremities and bite strength for 

expanded age ranges. With this 

information, CPSC would have more 

accurate and current data for developing 

voluntary and mandatory safety 

standards. This information will also 

help staff to analyze injuries and deaths 

of children interacting with consumer 

products and determine whether a 

product presents a safety hazard. 

CPSC has contracted with the 

University of Michigan to conduct the 

proposed study and collect the data. A 

team of researchers at the University of 

Michigan Transportation Research 

Institute (UMTRI) will lead the study, 

and the study will be conducted at 

UMTRI Laboratories in Ann Arbor, MI. 

The contractor will recruit children to 

participate through their caregivers, 

using the University of Michigan Engage 

site, Craigslist, and flyers placed at 

UMTRI. The contractor will create a 

customized tool for data collection and 

feedback. The contractor will assign 

participants a random identification 

number that is not linked to any 

personal identifying information and 

will de-identify photos and videos of 

participants, taken to document their 

exertion postures, by blurring the faces. 

Participation will be voluntary, and 

information collected from participants 

will be kept confidential and used only 

for research purposes. Following data 

collection, the contractor will provide 

CPSC staff with raw strength and 

position data (with identifying 

information removed), as well as a final 

report. After CPSC staff has reviewed 

and approved the final report, CPSC 

will release the report on the agency’s 

website and through presentations at 

meetings and conferences related to the 

subject matter, in accordance with 

applicable laws and Commission policy.

‘‘Child Strength Study-Final Supporting 

Statement and Justification,’’ is 

available at: www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. CPSC–2020–0021, 

Supporting and Related Material. 

C. Comments 

CPSC received four comments in 

response to the August 31, 2020 notice. 

All four commenters supported the 

information collection; however, two of 

the commenters also suggested specific 

or additional measures to collect or 

analyze as part of the study. 

One commenter recommended 

collecting metrics on children’s hand 

grip strength, push strength, pull 

strength, push-up head strength, and 

seated leg press strength. CPSC already 

plans to collect information about 

children’s hand grip strength, push 

strength, pull strength, and seated leg 

press strength, as part of this study. 

Although CPSC does not plan to collect 

information about children’s push up 

head strength, the commenter suggested 

this measure for purposes of evaluating 

entrapment hazards, and CPSC already 

plans to collect children’s head 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
5150 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Notices 

entrapment measures as part of the 

study. 

The same commenter also 

recommended directly correlating data 

with the age of the child tested, to 

provide more detailed information to 

identify safe product designs. CPSC 

plans to group data into 3-month, 6- 

month, and 1-year age ranges, with 

smaller groupings for younger ages. 

Each age group will include 

approximately 50 participants. This 

approach will provide more age-specific 

information than previous studies, 

which grouped children into 3-year age 

ranges. CPSC could provide results for 

specific ages, however, this information 

would have limited use, because each 

specific age likely will have a small 

number of participants. 

Another commenter recommended 

collecting a wide range of information 

on static anthropometry, functional 

anthropometry, physical abilities, and 

psychological abilities. The static 

anthropometry measures (e.g., weight, 

head breadth) that the commenter 

requested would not require any 

modifications to the study. Rather, they 

would involve additional analysis of 

information that will already be 

collected as part of the body scan data 

in the study. CPSC agrees that this 

information may be useful and plans to 

request this additional data analysis as 

part of the final study report. 

In contrast, the functional 

anthropometry measures (e.g., overhead 

reach to grip) that the commenter 

requested would require modifying the 

study to collect additional measures. 

Based on study design and participant 

fatigue, child participants can only be in 

the laboratory for 2 hours. The data 

collection that is already part of the 

study will take 2 hours; additional 

measures would exceed the 2-hour 

allotted time. If CPSC determines, upon 

review of the final study report, that 

more information is necessary, and that 

additional measures need to be 

evaluated, staff will consider collecting 

supplemental information at that time. 

CPSC already plans to collect most of 

the physical abilities measures (e.g., 

pushing forward, pinch force) that the 

commenter recommended. CPSC is not 

collecting the psychological abilities 

measures (e.g., reaction time to visual 

stimuli) that the commenter requested 

because those measures are not within 

the scope of this study. The focus of this 

study is on children’s anthropometrics 

and strength. 

This commenter also recommended 

compiling data for children from 

various countries, so that a 

comprehensive data set is available for 

companies that distribute products 

globally. CPSC cannot collect data from 

participants in other countries or 

compel other countries to collect child 

strength data. However, the data CPSC 

collects as part of this study will be 

publicly available, so interested parties 

may combine it with information from 

other countries to create a 

comprehensive data set. 

CPSC’s review and consideration of 

the comments yielded no basis for 

modifying the supporting statement for 

the study. Therefore, by publication of 

this notice, the Commission announces 

that CPSC has submitted to OMB a 

request for approval of this collection of 

information. 

D. Burden Hours 

The only change to the supporting 

statement corrects typographical errors 

to the burden hours for the federal 

government. The correct burden hours 

and costs are below. Although CPSC’s 

60-day Federal Register notice correctly 

stated these numbers, the supporting 

statement on www.Regulations.gov 

reflected slightly different numbers 

based on older Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation. The final 

supporting statement, which is available 

in the docket for this notice, corrects 

those errors. 

CPSC estimates that the study will 

involve 3,050 respondents and take a 

total of 1,813 hours over the duration of 

the study. The monetized hourly cost 

for the adult caregiver of a participant 

is $37.73, as defined by the average total 

hourly cost to employers for employee 

compensation for all civilian employees 

across all occupations as of March 2020, 

reported by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation. Accordingly, CPSC 

estimates the total cost burden to be 

$68,404 (1,813 hours × $37.73 = 

$68,404). 

The estimated cost to the federal 

government for the contract to design 

and conduct the study issued to the 

University of Michigan under contract 

number 61320618D0004 is $1,134,502. 

The estimated salary and benefits costs 

for government personnel assigned to 

this study are $170,356, based on 12 

staff months in 2020, at an average level 

of GS–13 step 5 in the Washington, DC 

area, effective January 2020 ($116,353) 

and a 68.3 percent ratio of wages and 

salary to total compensation (all civilian 

management, professional, and related 

workers) from Table 2 of the March 

2020 Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation, published by the Bureau 

of Labor Statistics. Therefore, the total 

estimated cost to the federal government 

is $1,134,502 for the contract, plus 

$170,356 in government labor costs, for 

a total of $1,304,858.
