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 April 16, 2009 (74 FR 17638), the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a 
notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the CPSC'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).
    No comments were received in response to that notice. Therefore, 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 that collection of information without change.
    One CPSC regulation bans any product known as a baby-bouncer, 
walker-jumper, baby-walker 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).
    A second CPSC regulation establishes criteria for exempting baby-
bouncers, walker-jumpers, and baby-walkers from the banning rule under 
specified conditions. 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4). The exemption regulation 
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 must be established and maintained for three 
years relating to testing, inspection, sales, and distribution 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.
