CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Extension of Approval of 

Information Collection; Comment 

Request—Baby Bouncers and WalkerJumpers 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork

Chapter 35), the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (Commission) 

requests comments on a proposed 

extension of approval, for a period of 3 

years from the date of approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), of information collection 

requirements for manufacturers and 

importers of children’s articles known 

as baby-bouncers and walker-jumpers. 

The collection of information consists of 

requirements that manufacturers and 

importers of these products must make, 

keep and maintain records of 

inspections, testing, sales, and 

distributions consistent with the 

provisions of the Federal Hazardous 

Substances Act, 15 U.S.C. 1261, 1262, 

and 16 CFR part 1500. 

The CPSC will consider all comments 

received in response to this notice 

before requesting approval of this 

collection of information from OMB. 

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must 

receive written comments not later than 

August 20, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations issued under provisions of 

the Federal Hazardous Substances Act 

(15 U.S.C. 1261, 1262), codified at 16 

CFR part 1500, establish safety 

requirements for products called ‘‘babybouncers’’ and ‘‘walker-jumpers.’’ 

A. Requirements for Baby-Bouncers 

and Walker-Jumpers 

One CPSC regulation bans any 

product known as a baby-bouncer, 

walker-jumper, or similar article if it is 

designed in such a way that exposed 

parts present hazards of amputations, 

crushing, lacerations, fractures, 

hematomas, bruises, or other injuries to 

children’s fingers, toes, or other parts of 

the body. 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6). This 

regulation previously included baby 

walkers as well, but these products are 

now covered by a separate regulation. 

16 CFR part 1216. 

A second CPSC regulation establishes 

criteria for exempting baby-bouncers 

and walker-jumpers from the banning 

rule under specified conditions. 16 CFR 

1500.86(a)(4). The exemption regulation 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2012 / Notices 37001 

requires certain labeling on these 

products and their packaging to identify 

the name and address of the 

manufacturer or distributor and the 

model number of the product. 

Additionally, the exemption regulation 

requires that records be established and 

maintained for 3 years that relate to 

testing, inspection, sales, and 

distributions of these products. The 

regulation does not specify a particular 

form or format for the records. 

Manufacturers and importers may rely 

on records kept in the ordinary course 

of business to satisfy the recordkeeping 

requirements, if those records contain 

the required information. 

If a manufacturer or importer 

distributes products that violate the 

banning rule, the records required by 

section 1500.86(a)(4) can be used by the 

manufacturer or importer and the CPSC: 

(i) To identify specific models of 

products that fail to comply with 

applicable requirements, and (ii) to 

notify distributors and retailers if the 

products are subject to recall. 

The OMB approved the collection of 

information requirements in the 

regulations under control number 3041– 

0019. OMB’s most recent extension of 

approval expires on August 31, 2012. 

The CPSC now proposes to request an 

extension of approval, without change, 

for the collection of information 

requirements. 

B. Estimated Burden 

CPSC staff estimates that about 25 

firms are subject to the testing and 

recordkeeping requirements of the 

regulations. Firms are expected to test 

on the average two new models per year 

per firm. CPSC staff estimates further 

that the burden imposed by the 

regulations on each of these firms is 

approximately 1 hour per year on the 

recordkeeping requirements and 30 

minutes or less per model on the label 

requirements. Thus, the annual burden 

imposed by the regulations on all 

manufacturers and importers is 

approximately 50 hours on 

recordkeeping (25 firms × 2 hours) and 

25 hours on labeling (25 firms × 1 hour) 

for a total annual burden of 75 hours per 

year. 

CPSC staff estimates that the hourly 

wage for the time required to perform 

the required testing and recordkeeping 

is approximately $61.24 (Bureau of 

Labor Statistics: Total compensation 

rates for management, professional, and 

related occupations in private goodsproducing industries, December, 2011) 

and that the hourly wage for the time 

required to maintain the required 

records is about $27.33 (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics: Total compensation rates for 

sales and office workers in private 

goods-producing industries, December 

2011). The annualized total cost to the 

industry is estimated to be $3,745. 

The Commission will expend 

approximately 2 days of professional 

staff time reviewing records required to 

be maintained by the regulations for 

baby-bouncers, and walker-jumpers. 

The annual cost to the federal 

government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be about $165. This is 

based on an average hourly wage rate of 

$57.13 (the equivalent of a GS–14 Step 

5 employee) with an additional 30.2 

percent added for benefits (BLS, 

Percentage of total compensation 

comprised by benefits for all civilian 

management, professional, and related 

employees, December 2011), or $82.56 × 

2 hours. 

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.
