SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the CPSC 
has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB 
for review and clearance: Requirements for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs--
(OMB Control Number 3041-0012--Extension).
    The safety regulations for non-full-size baby cribs (also referred 
to as ``non-full-size cribs'') are codified at 16 CFR Part 1509 and 16 
CFR 1500.18(a)(14). These regulations were issued to reduce hazards of 
strangulation, suffocation, pinching, bruising, laceration, and other 
injuries associated with non-full-size cribs. (A non-full-size crib is 
a crib having an interior length greater than 55 inches or smaller than 
49\3/4\; inches; or an interior width greater than 30\5/8\; inches or 
smaller than 25\3/8\; inches; or both.) The regulations prescribe 
performance, design, and labeling requirements for non-full-size cribs. 
They also require manufacturers and importers of those products to 
maintain sales records for a period of three years after the 
manufacture or importation of non-full-size cribs. If any non-full-size 
cribs subject to provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and part 1509 fail 
to comply in a manner to warrant a recall, the required records can be 
used by the manufacturer or importer and by the Commission to identify 
those persons and firms who should be notified of the recall.
    In the Federal Register of June 28, 2010 (75 FR 36637), the CPSC 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows. Approximately 16 firms manufacture or import non-full-size 
baby cribs and are subject to the record keeping requirements. The 
Commission staff

[[Page 59234]]

estimates that the record keeping will take five hours per firm for 
obtaining the information from existing sales and distribution data. 
The annualized cost to respondents for the burden for collection of 
information is approximately $2,222. This estimated cost to respondents 
is based on 80 hours (16 firms x 5 hours each) multiplied by a cost of 
$27.78 per hour (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Total Compensation, All 
workers, goods-producing industries, Sales and office, September 2009, 
Table 9) or $2,222.40, which we have rounded down to $2,222.
    The cost to the government (wages and benefits) for 8 hours staff 
time to review the information (\1/2\ hour per firm) is approximately 
$655. Assuming that the employee reviewing the records will be a GS-14 
level employee, the average hourly wage rate for a mid-level GS-14 
employee in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, effective as of 
January 2010, is $57.33. This represents 70 percent of total 
compensation (Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2010, percentage wages 
and salaries for all civilian management, professional, and related 
employees, Table 1). Adding an additional 30 percent for benefits 
brings average hourly compensation for a mid-range GS-14 employee to 
$81.89. Thus, 8 hours multiplied against an hourly compensation figure 
of $81.89 results in an estimated cost to the government of $655.12, 
which we have rounded down to $655.

    Dated: September 21, 2010.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
