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. These standards are to be 

substantially the same as applicable 

voluntary standards or more stringent 

than the voluntary standard if the 

Commission concludes that more 

stringent requirements would further 

reduce the risk of injury associated with 

the product. 

On December 28, 2010, we issued a 

final rule establishing safety standards 

for full-size and non-full-size baby cribs 

in response to the direction under 

section 104(b) of the CPSIA (75 FR 

81766). Section 104(c) of the CPSIA 

specifies that the crib standards will 

cover used, as well as new cribs. The 

crib standards apply to anyone who 

manufactures, distributes, or contracts 

to sell a crib; to child care facilities, and 

others holding themselves out to be 

knowledgeable about cribs; to anyone 

who leases, sublets, or otherwise places 

a crib in the stream of commerce; and 

to owners and operators of places of 

public accommodation affecting 

commerce. The standards require 

manufacturers and importers of these 

products to maintain sales records for a 

period of six years after the manufacture 

or importation of the cribs and also 


emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 73 / Monday, April 16, 2012 / Notices 22565 

contain requirements for marking and 

instructional literature. 

CPSC staff intends to visit child care 

centers to measure compliance with the 

crib safety standards. Information from 

those visits would be recorded on a 

‘‘Verification of Compliance Form.’’ 

CPSC investigators or designated state 

or local government officials will use 

the form, which will be filled out 

entirely at the site during the normal 

course of the visit. The Commission 

intends to use the information to 

measure compliance with the crib safety 

standards and to develop an 

enforcement strategy. 

We intend to begin with a pilot 

program in 2012, that would involve 

conducting visits to approximately 70 

child care centers in seven states. 

Depending on the results of the pilot 

program, we would expand the program 

in 2013, although expansion of the 

program’s size would depend upon the 

availability of CPSC resources. 

B. Estimated Burden 

CPSC staff estimates that there may be 

approximately 70 inspections during the 

pilot program in 2012. Because the 

investigators will be talking to the child 

care facility staff at the time of the 

inspection and asking questions to help 

complete the form, CPSC staff estimates 

that the burden hours for child care 

facility staff to respond to the questions 

will be approximately a quarter of an 

hour per inspection. Thus, the estimated 

total annual burden hours for 

respondents are approximately 17.5 

hours (70 inspections × a quarter of an 

hour per inspection). CPSC staff 

estimates that the annualized cost to all 

respondents is approximately $383.43 

based on an hourly wage of $21.91 per 

hour ($21.91 × 17.5). (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (‘‘BLS’’), total compensation 

for all workers, sales and office for 

service-producing industries, Employer 

Costs for Employee Compensation Table 

9, September 2011). 

CPSC staff estimates that it will take 

an average of a quarter of an hour to 

review the information collected. The 

annual cost to the federal government of 

the collection of information in these 

regulations is estimated to be $704.26. 

This is based on an average wage rate of 

$28.13 (the equivalent of a GS–9 Step 5 

employee). This represents 69.9 percent 

of total compensation (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, September 2011, percentage 

wages and salaries for all civilian 

management, professional, and related 

employees, Table 1). Adding an 

additional 30.1 percent for benefits 

brings the average hourly compensation 

for a GS–9 Step 5 employee to $40.24. 

Thus, 35 hours for conducting and 

reviewing (17.5 hours plus 17.5 hours) 

the information multiplied against an 

hourly compensation figure of $40.24 

results in an estimated cost to the 

government of $1,408.40. 

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.
