SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘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 requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CPSC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document.

With respect to the following 

collection of information, the CPSC 

invites comments on these topics: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of CPSC’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

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 non fullsize 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, the 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 under 

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. 

Before the mail paper screener is sent 

out, a small group of respondents (37) 

from different backgrounds (including 

both English and Spanish speakers) will 

be 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 will be used to revise 

the survey instruments, but will not be 

included in the survey results for the 

main data collection. Following the 

testing, 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 

aged 0–5 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 four 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. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. 

Each cognitive interview or usability 

test will take 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 (.0833 hours) to complete. An 

estimated 2,000 eligible repondants will 

be selected for telephone extended 

interviews (1,500 respondents) or Web 

surveys (500 respondents) and each will 

take approximately 30 minutes (.5 

hours) to complete. The total estimated 

burden for all respondents is 2,425.92 

hours, rounded up to 2,426 hours. The 

total cost to the respondents for the total 

burden is estimated to be $66,520.92, 

rounded up to $66,521, based on an 

hourly rate of $27.42 (all workers in 

private industry in Table 9 of the 

December 2009 Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics). 

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 December 2009 

Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation, published on the Bureau 

of Labor Statistics.
