SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Section 104(B) of the Consumer 

Product Safety Improvement Act of 

2008 (CPSIA), requires the CPSC to 

promulgate consumer product safety 

standards for durable infant or toddler 

products. On June 21, 2010, in 

compliance with the CPSIA, the 

Commission published in the Federal 

Register a safety standard for infant 

walkers that incorporated by reference 

the voluntary standard for infant 

walkers issued by ASTM International, 

ASTM F977–07, with some 

modifications to further reduce the risk 

of injury associated with infant walkers. 

The rule became effective on December 

21, 2010. 

B. Estimated Burden 

Sections 8.1and 9.1 of the voluntary 

standard ASTM F977–07, which is now 

a mandatory standard, contain 

requirements for marking, labeling, and 

instructional literature that are 

disclosure requirements, thus falling 

within the definition of ‘‘collections of 

information.’’ 5 CFR 1320.3(c). Section 

8.1 of ASTM F977–07 requires: 

• The name and the place of business 

(city, state, and mailing address, 

including zip code) and/or telephone 

number of the manufacturer, importer 

distributor, or seller; and 

• A code mark or other means that 

identifies the date (month and year, as 

a minimum) of manufacture. 

Section 9.1 of ASTM F977–07 

requires infant walkers to be provided 

with easy to read instructions regarding 

assembly, maintenance, cleaning, and 

use. 

There are 16 known firms supplying 

infant walkers to the U.S. market. All 16 

firms are assumed to already use labels 

on both their products and their 

packaging, but they might need to make 

some modifications to their existing 

labels. The estimated time required to 

make these modifications is about 1 

hour per model. Each of these firms 

supplies an average of four different 

models of infant walkers; therefore, the 

estimated burden hours associated with 

labels is 1 hour × 16 firms × 4 models 

per firm = 64 annual hours. 

Section 9.1 of ASTM F977–07 

requires instructions to be supplied 

with the product. This is a practice that 

is usual and customary with infant 

walkers. These are products that 

generally require some installation and 

maintenance instructions, and any 

products sold without such information 

would not be able to successfully 

compete with products that provide this 

information. Therefore, because the 

CPSC is unaware of infant walkers that: 

(a) generally require some installation, 

but (b) lack any instructions to the user 

about such installation, there are no 

burden hours associated with the 

instruction requirement in section 9.1 

because any burden associated with 

supplying instructions with infant 

walkers would be ‘‘usual and 

customary’’ and not within the 

definition of ‘‘burden’’ under OMB’s 

regulations. 

CPSC staff estimates that hourly 

compensation for the time required to 

create and update labels is $27.12 (U.S. 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 76 / Friday, April 19, 2013 / Notices 23545 

Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ 

December 2012, Table 9, total 

compensation for all sales and office 

workers in goods-producing private 

industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). 

Therefore, the estimated annual cost 

associated with the proposed 

requirements is $1,736 ($27.12 per hour 

× 64 hours = $1,736). 

C. Request for Comments 

The Commission solicits written 

comments from all interested persons 

about the proposed collection of 

information. The Commission 

specifically solicits information relevant 

to the following topics: 

• Whether the collection of 

information described above is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the Commission’s functions, including 

whether the information would have 

practical utility; 

• Whether the estimated burden of 

the proposed collection of information 

is accurate; 

• Whether the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be collected 

could be enhanced; and 

• Whether the burden imposed by the 

collection of information could be 

minimized by use of automated, 

electronic or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms of 

information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background 

The Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) 

requires third party testing be 

conducted by a third party conformity 

assessment body for any children’s 

product, that is subject to a children’s 

product safety rule, before importing for 

consumption or warehousing or 

distributing in commerce. The CPSIA 

allows accreditation of third party 

conformity assessment bodies to be 

conducted either by the Commission or 

by an independent accreditation 

organization designated by the 

Commission, and requires that the 

Commission maintain on its Web site an 

up-to-date list of entities that have been 

accredited to assess conformity with 

children’s product safety rules. With the 

exception of firewalled third party 

conformity assessment bodies, the 

Commission has chosen to accept the 

accreditation of third party conformity 

assessment bodies that meet 

accreditation requirements of an 

independent accreditation organization. 

In order to assess a third party 

conformity assessment body’s 

qualifications for acceptance by CPSC, 

information related to location, 

accreditation, and ownership must be 

collected from third party conformity 

assessment bodies. The CPSC uses an 

online collection form, CPSC Form 223, 

to gather information from third party 

conformity assessment bodies 

voluntarily seeking acceptance by CPSC. 

The information collected relates to 

location, accreditation, and ownership. 

The Commission staff uses this 

information to assess: 

• A third party conformity 

assessment body’s status as either an 

independent third party conformity 

assessment body, a government-owned 

or government-controlled conformity 

assessment body, or a firewalled 

conformity assessment body; 

• Qualifications for acceptance by 

CPSC to test for compliance to specified 

children’s product safety rules; and 

• Eligibility for acceptance on the 

CPSC Web site. 

The Commission recently published a 

final rule (16 CFR part 1112) regarding 

the requirements for third party 

conformity assessment bodies in the 

Federal Register on March 12, 2013, 

which will become effective on June 10, 

2013. Once 16 CFR part 1112 is in effect 

it will require the collection of 

information in CPSC Form 223: 

• Upon initial application by the 

third party conformity assessment body 

for acceptance by CPSC;
