CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0041] 

Collection of Information; Proposed 

Extension of Approval; Comment 

Request—Publicly Available Consumer 

Product Safety Information Database 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC or 

Commission) requests comments on a 

proposed extension of approval of a 

collection of information for the 

Publicly Available Consumer Product 

Safety Information Database. The 

Commission will consider all comments 

received in response to this notice 

before requesting an extension of 

approval of this collection of 

information from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must 

receive comments not later than 

December 2, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: OMB recommends that 

written comments be faxed to the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

OMB, Attn: CPSC Desk Officer, FAX: 

202–395–6974, or emailed to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All 

comments should be identified by 

Docket No. CPSC–2010–0041. In 

addition, written comments also should 

be submitted at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. 

CPSC–2010–0041, or by mail/hand 

delivery/courier (for paper, disk, or CD– 

ROM submissions), preferably in five 

copies, to: Office of the Secretary, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of August 15, 2013 

(78 FR 49730), the CPSC published a 

notice in accordance with provisions of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). This notice 

announced CPSC’s intention to seek 

extension of approval of a collection of 

information for a database on the safety 

of consumer products and other 

products and substances regulated by 

the Commission (Database), as required 

by section 212 of the Consumer Product 

Safety Improvement Act of 2008 

(CPSIA). 

Two comments were received in 

response to the August 15th notice. One 

commenter stated support for extension 

of the approval of the collection of 

information for the Database, citing the 

usefulness of the data collected to both 

the CPSC and to consumers. This 

commenter also suggested that the 

Database could be even more useful if 

CPSC would provide a link to any 

corrective action, fine, recall or safety 

alert involving a reported product. CPSC 

agrees that the links suggested by the 

commenter would add value to the 

Database. However, incorporating new 

features would require resources that 

are not currently available. CPSC will 

take the suggestion under advisement 

and consider such modifications if and 

when resources for modifications are 

available. Another commenter stated 

that CPSC does not help consumers. 

CPSC has no response to this comment 

because the comment is outside the 

scope of the inquiry regarding 

paperwork burdens associated with the 

requested collection of information. 

By publication of this notice, the 

Commission announces that it has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) a request for 

extension of approval of the collection 

of information for the Database without 

change. 

A. Background 

Section 212 of the Consumer Product 

Safety Improvement Act of 2008 

(CPSIA) added section 6A to the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) 

which requires the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC or 

Commission) to establish and maintain 

a publicly available, searchable database 

on the safety of consumer products, and 

other products or substances regulated 

by the Commission (Database). Among 

other things, section 6A of the CPSA 

requires the Commission to collect 

reports of harm from the public for 

potential publication in the publicly 

available Database, and to collect and 

publish comments about reports of harm 

from manufacturers. 

The Commission announced that a 

proposed collection of information in 

conjunction with the Database, called 

the Publicly Available Consumer 

Product Safety Information Database, 

had been submitted to OMB for review 

and clearance under 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520 in a proposed rule published on 

May 24, 2010 (75 FR 29156). The 

Commission issued a final rule on the 

Database on December 9, 2010 (75 FR 

76832). The final rule interprets various 

statutory requirements in section 6A of 

the CPSA pertaining to the information 

to be included in the Database and also 

establishes provisions regarding 

submitting reports of harm; providing 

notice of reports of harm to 

manufacturers; publishing reports of 

harm and manufacturer comments in 

the Database; and dealing with 

confidential and materially inaccurate 

information. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information for the Database under 

control number 3041–0146. OMB’s most 

recent extension of approval will expire 

on January 31, 2014. The Commission 

now proposes to request an extension of 

approval of this collection of 

information. 

B. Information Collected Through the 

Database 

The primary purpose of this 

information collection is to populate the 

publicly searchable Database of 

consumer product safety information 

mandated by section 6A of the CPSA. 

There are four components to the 

information collection: Reports of harm, 

manufacturer comments, branding 

information, and the Small Batch 

Manufacturer Registry (SBMR). 

Reports of Harm: Reports of harm 

communicate information regarding an 

injury, illness, or death, or any risk (as 

determined by the Commission) of 

injury, illness, or death, relating to the 

use of a consumer product. Reports can 

be submitted to the CPSC by consumers; 

local, State, or Federal government 

agencies; health care professionals; 

child service providers; public safety 

entities; and others. Reports may be 

submitted in one of three ways: Via the 

CPSC Web site 

(www.SaferProducts.gov), by telephone 

via a CPSC call center, or by email, fax, 

or mail using the incident report form 

(available for download or printing via 

the CPSC Web site). Reports may also 

originate as a free-form letter or email. 

Submitters must consent to inclusion of 

their report of harm in the publicly 

searchable Database. 

Manufacturer Comments: A 

manufacturer or private labeler may 

submit a comment related to a report of 

harm if the report of harm identifies the 

manufacturer or private labeler and the 

CPSC transmits such report of harm to 

the manufacturer. Manufacturer 

comments may be submitted through 

the business portal, by email, mail, or 

fax. The business portal is a feature of 

the Database that allows manufacturers 

who register on the business portal to 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

the number of responses by the number of 

respondents. 2Numbers have been rounded.

release/ecec.t09.htm. 

receive reports of harm and comment on 

such reports through the business 

portal. Use of the business portal 

expedites the receipt of reports of harm 

and business response times. 

A manufacturer may request that the 

Commission designate information in a 

report of harm as confidential. Such a 

request may be made using the business 

portal, by email, by mail, or by fax. 

Also, any person or entity reviewing a 

report of harm or manufacturer 

comment, either before or after 

publication in the Database, may request 

that the report or comment, or portions 

of the report or comment, be excluded 

from the Database because the report or 

comment contains materially inaccurate 

information. Such a request may be 

made by manufacturers using the 

business portal, by email, mail or fax, 

and may be submitted by anyone else by 

email, mail, or fax. 

Branding Information: Using the 

business portal, registered businesses 

may voluntarily submit branding 

information to assist CPSC in correctly 

and timely routing reports of harm 

involving their products to them. Brand 

names may be licensed to another entity 

for use in labeling consumer products 

manufactured by that entity. CPSC’s 

understanding of licensing 

arrangements for consumer products 

can help to give the correct 

manufacturer timely notification of a 

report of harm. 

Small Batch Manufacturers Registry: 

The business portal also contains the 

SBMR, which is the online mechanism 

by which small batch manufacturers (as 

defined in the CPSA) can identify 

themselves to obtain relief from certain 

third party testing requirements for 

children’s products. To register as a 

small batch manufacturer a business 

must attest that the company’s income 

level and the number of units of the 

covered product manufactured for 

which relief is sought both fall within 

the statutory limits to receive relief from 

third party testing. 

C. Estimated Burden

Based on the data set forth in tables 

1 and 2 above, the annual reporting cost 

is estimated to be $1,086,332. This 

estimate is based on the sum of two 

estimated figures for reports of harm 

and manufacturer submissions. The 

estimated number of respondents and 

responses are based on the actual 

responses received in FY 2012. We 

assume that the number of responses 

and respondents will be similar in 

future years. 

Reports of Harm: Table 1 sets forth 

the data used to estimate the burden 

associated with submitting reports of 

harm. We had previously estimated the 

time associated with the electronic and 

telephone submission of reports of harm 

at 12 and 10 minutes respectively and 

so used those figures for present 

purposes as well. We estimate that the 

time associated with a paper or PDF 

form would be 20 minutes on average. 

To estimate the costs for submitting 

reports of harm we multiplied the 

estimated total burden hours associated 

with reports of harm (1,641 hours + 625 

hours + 2,022 hours = 4,288 hours) by 

an estimated total compensation for all 

workers in private industry of $29.13 

per hour,3 which results in an estimated 

cost of $124,909 (4,288 hours × $29.13 

per hour = $124,909). 

Manufacturer Submissions: Table 2 

sets forth the data used to estimate the 

burden associated with manufacturer 

submissions to the Database. To gain

manufacturer to submit a general 

comment or a claim that a report 

contains materially inaccurate 

information through the business portal, 

we contacted six businesses registered 

on the business portal. We asked each 

company how long it typically takes to 

research, compose, and enter a comment 

or a claim of materially inaccurate 

information. We had observed that a 

large percentage of the general 

comments come from a few businesses 

and assumed that the experience of a 

business that submits many comments 

each year would be different from one 

that submits only a few. Accordingly, 

we divided all responding businesses 

into three groups based on the number 

of general comments submitted in FY 

2012, and then selected two businesses 

from each group to contact. The first 

group we contacted was made of up of 

businesses that submitted 50 or more 

comments in FY 2012, accounting for 

46% of all general comments received. 

The second group we contacted 

included businesses that submitted 6 to 

49 comments, accounting for 36% of all 

general comments received. The last 

group contacted included businesses 

that submitted no more than five 

comments, accounting for 18% of all 

general comments received. 

To estimate the burden associated 

with submitting a general comment 

regarding a report of harm through the 

business portal, we averaged the burden 

provided by each company within each 

group and then calculated a weighted 

average from the three groups, 

weighting each group by the proportion 

of comments received from that group. 

We found that the average time to 

submit a general comment regarding a 

report of harm is 116 minutes based on 

the data in table 3 (((10 minutes + 180 

minutes)/2 companies)*.46 + ((10 

minutes + 30 minutes)/2 

companies)*.36 + ((240 minutes + 480 

minutes)/2 companies)*.18 = 116 

minutes).

Registered businesses generally 

submit comments through our Web site. 

Unregistered businesses submit 

comments by mail, email, or fax. We 

estimate that submitting comments in 

this way takes a little longer because we 

often must ask the business to amend 

their submission to include the required 

certifications. Thus, we estimated that 

on average, comments submitted by 

mail, email, or fax take 30 minutes 

longer than those submitted through our 

Web site (116 minutes + 30 minutes = 

146 minutes). 

The submission of a claim of 

materially inaccurate information is a 

relatively rare event for all respondents, 

so we averaged all responses together. 

Four of the businesses contacted had 

submitted claims of materially 

inaccurate information during FY 2012. 

We found that the average time to 

submit a claim that a report of harm 

contains a material inaccuracy is 438 

minutes ((10 minutes + 120 minutes + 

180 minutes + 1,440 minutes)/4 

companies = 438 minutes). 

Registered businesses generally 

submit claims through the business 

portal. Unregistered businesses submit 

claims by mail, email, or fax. We 

estimate that submitting claims in this 

way takes a little longer because we 

often must ask the business to amend 

their submission to include the required 

certifications. Thus, we estimated that 

on average, claims submitted by mail, 

email, or fax take 30 minutes longer 

than those submitted through our Web 

site (438 minutes + 30 minutes = 468 

minutes). 

We had previously estimated that 

confidential information claims 

submitted through our Web site would 

take 15 minutes because the information 

to be entered would be readily 

accessible by the respondent. We have 

found that confidential information 

claims are very rare and do not have 

enough information to update this 

estimate. Although we have not 

received any confidential information 

claims by mail, email, or fax, based on 

our experience with comments and 

claims of materially inaccurate 

information, we estimate that a 

confidential information claim 

submitted by mail, email, or fax would 

take 30 minutes longer than those 

submitted through our Web site (15 

minutes + 30 minutes = 45 minutes). 

For voluntary brand identification, we 

estimate that a response would take 10 

minutes on average. Most responses 

consist only of the brand name and a 

product description. In many cases a 

business will submit multiple entries in 

a brief period of time and we can see 

from the date and time stamps on these 

records that an entry often takes less 

than two minutes. CPSC staff enters the 

same data in a similar form based on our 

own research, and that experience was 

also factored into our estimate. 

For small batch manufacturer 

identification, we estimate that a 

response would take 10 minutes on 

average. The form consists of three 

check boxes and the information should 

be readily accessible to the respondent. 

The responses summarized in Table 2 

are generally submitted by 

manufacturers. To avoid 

underestimating the cost associated 

with the collection of this data, we 

assigned the higher hourly wage 

associated with a manager or 

professional in goods-producing 

industries to these tasks. To estimate the 

cost of manufacturer submissions we 

multiplied the estimated total burden 

hours in Table 2 (15,557 hours) by an 

estimated total compensation for a 

manager or professional in goodsproducing industries of $61.80 per 

hour,4 which results in an estimated 

cost of $961,423 (15,557 hours × $61.80 

per hour = $961,423). 

Therefore, the total estimated annual 

cost to respondents is $1,086,332 

($124,909 burden for reports of harm + 

$961,423 burden for manufacturer 

submissions = $1,086,332).

2. Estimated Annual Burden on 

Government 

The annualized cost to the CPSC is 

estimated to be $1,028,794. This figure 

is based on the costs for four categories 

of work for the Database: Reports of 

Harm, Materially Inaccurate Information 

Claims, Manufacturer Comments, and 

Small Batch Identification. Each 

category is described below. No 

government cost is associated with 

Voluntary Brand Identification because 

this information is entered directly into 

the Database by the manufacturer with 

no processing required by the 

government. The information assists the 

government in directing reports of harm 

to the correct manufacturer. We did not 

attempt to separately calculate the 

government cost for claims of 

confidential information because the 

number of claims is so small. The time 

to process these claims is included with 

claims of materially inaccurate 

information. 

Reports of Harm: The Reports of Harm 

category includes many different tasks. 

Some costs related to this category are 

from a data entry contract. Tasks related 

to this contract include clerical coding 

of the report, such as identifying the 

type of consumer product reported and 

the appropriate associated hazard, as 

well as performing quality control on 

the data in the report. The contractor 

spends an estimated 3,380 hours per 

year performing these tasks. With an 

hourly rate of $32.57, the annual cost to 

the government is $110,087. 

The Reports of Harm category also 

includes sending consent requests for 

reports when necessary, processing that 

consent when received, determining 

whether a product is out of CPSC’s 

jurisdiction, and confirming that 

pictures and attachments do not have 

any personally identifiable information. 

The Reports category also entails 

notifying manufacturers when one of 

their products is reported, completing a 

risk of harm determination form for 

every report eligible for publication, 

referring some reports to a Subject 

Matter Expert (SME) within the CPSC 

for a determination on whether the 

reports meet the requirement of having 

a risk of harm, and determining whether 

a report meets all the statutory and 

regulatory requirements for publication. 

Detailed costs are described in Table 4.

a report does not describe a risk of 

harm. Detailed costs are described in

Manufacturer Identification category 

includes time spent posting the list of 

small batch registrations, as well as

We estimate the annualized cost to 

the CPSC of $1,028,794 by adding the 

four categories of work related to the 

Database summarized in Tables 4 

through 7 (Reports of Harm 

($843,226.96) + MII Claims 

($150,505.00) + Manufacturer 

Comments ($18,793.06) + Small Batch 

Identification ($16,269.12) = 

$1,028,794). 

This information collection renewal 

request based on an estimated 19,845 

burden hours per year for the Database 

is a decrease of 17,284 hours since this 

collection of information was last 

approved by OMB in 2011. The decrease 

in burden is due primarily to the fact 

that the number of responses was 

overestimated in our original request.
