CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Requirements for 
Baby-Bouncers, Walker-Jumpers, and Baby-Walkers

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of February 15, 1996 (61 FR 5987), the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance 
with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of 
approval of the collection of information in the requirements for baby-
bouncers, walker-jumpers, and baby-walkers in regulations codified at 
16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) and 1500.86(a)(4). By publication of this notice, 
the Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for reinstatement of approval of that 
collection of information without change through December 31, 1999.
    The regulation codified at 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) establishes safety 
requirements for baby-bouncers, walker-jumpers, and baby-walkers to 
reduce unreasonable risks of injury to children associated with those 
products. Those risks of injury include amputations, crushing, 
lacerations, fractures, hematomas, bruises and other injuries to 
children's fingers, toes, and other parts of their bodies. The 
regulation codified at 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4) requires manufacturers and 
importers of baby-bouncers, walker-jumpers, and baby-walkers to 
maintain records for three years containing information about testing, 
inspections, sales and distribution of these products.
    The records of testing and other information required by the 
regulations allow the Commission to determine if baby-bouncers, walker-
jumpers, and baby-walkers comply with the requirements of the 
regulation codified at 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6). If the Commission 
determines that products fail to comply with the regulations, the 
records required by 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4) enable the firm and the 
Commission to: (i) identify specific models of products which fail to 
comply with applicable requirements; and (ii) notify distributors and 
retailers in the event those products are subject to recall.
