that children’s play behaviors with 

these toy categories have not been 

thoroughly examined, this research is an 

initial exploration of the types of play 

behaviors children of different age 

groups exhibit when interacting with 

the selected toys. Researchers will 

gather information by observing 

children’s play patterns in a laboratory 

setting and noting how they interact 

with selected toys. The controlled 

laboratory setting will allow researchers 

to explore developmental differences in 

play patterns among the age groups. 

Additionally, the duration of each 

session provides the researchers an 

opportunity to observe naturalistic play 

behaviors without rushing the child 

through interacting with the toy. 

Researchers will code and summarize 

observation data while the child is 

interacting with the toy. Researchers 

will tabulate descriptive statistics to 

identify the universe of behaviors for 

each age group and toy, and, when 

possible, compare children’s play with 

toys that are intended for their age, 

versus toys that are intended for 

children either older or younger. 

Collecting this data will add to the 

available information about toys in six 

toy categories and inform potential next 

steps in the age-grading process. 

Because pilot testing per pair could be 

up to a maximum of 80 minutes for each 

session, CPSC is calculating the overall 

possible information collection 

participant burden based upon a 160- 

minute maximum burden. Researchers 

determined the duration of sessions to 

balance adequate time for observation, 

needed breaks for the child, and not 

overburdening the child. 

The commenter expressed concern 

that ‘‘Each child would only be 

evaluated regarding 4 of the 6 different 

toy categories.’’ In fact, the researchers 

will introduce children to selected toys 

from 6 toy categories (smart toys, takeapart vehicles, musical instruments, 

figurines, plush toys with electronic 

components, and manipulatives) in each 

of the sessions. During the first session 

they will be introduced to 4 toys and 

during the second session they will be 

introduced to 5 toys, for a total of 9 toys. 

The order in which the toys are 

presented will be randomized to 

preclude the effects of fatigue and 

learning from one toy to the next.

participating programs allows 

AmeriCorps to match the capabilities of 

the programs to the needs of the 

communities and will allow better asset 

mapping and resource typing. 

Additionally, the information collected 

will allow AmeriCorps to conduct better 

outreach to interested programs by 

providing them with more information 

about the Agency’s disaster procedures, 

reimbursement requirements, and 

support services offered. This

interested programs meet the 

appropriate programmatic and fiscal 

requirements to successfully execute 

disaster response activities. It also helps 

AmeriCorps identify and deploy 

programs effectively and efficiently, 

matching the capabilities of the 

programs to the needs of the 

communities asking for assistance. The 

forms under the DRCA allow for 

effective information collection during a 

disaster event as well as assess the
