SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 4, 2013, the Commission provided 
an opportunity for public comment on a proposed collection of 
information on the effectiveness of product registration cards in 
facilitating product recalls (78 FR 7761). No comments were received. 
In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the CPSC has submitted the following 
proposed collection of information to the OMB for review and clearance: 
Registration Card Effectiveness Survey. The Danny Keysar Child Product 
Safety Notification Act, Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety 
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), requires durable infant or toddler 
product manufacturers to provide product registration cards with each 
product sold. The Commission established product registration card 
requirements for consumer registration of durable infant or toddler 
products under 16 CFR part 1130. Section 104(d)(4) also requires the 
Commission to prepare a report of the effectiveness of product 
registration cards in facilitating product recalls, which is to

[[Page 27959]]

be presented to the appropriate congressional committees. 15 U.S.C. 
2056a(d)(4).
    To prepare the report to Congress, CPSC staff will conduct a survey 
that will be sent out to infant or toddler product manufacturers who 
have conducted recalls since June 28, 2010, the date when the final 
rule concerning product registration cards went into effect. The survey 
seeks information about the recall, how many consumers registered their 
products, and how many consumers the firm attempted to contact about 
the recall. A copy of the draft survey may be viewed on: http://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. CPSC-2013-0005, Supporting and 
Related Material. The report will aggregate the information received 
from the manufacturers to assess the effectiveness of product 
registration cards in facilitating product recalls.
    The average estimated time required for each manufacturer to 
complete the survey is 1 hour. The survey will be distributed to a 
maximum of 50 manufacturers, creating a maximum estimated burden across 
manufacturers of 50 hours. CPSC staff estimates that the hourly 
compensation for the time required to complete the survey is $27.55 
(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee 
Compensation,'' March 2012, Table 9, total compensation for all sales 
and office workers in goods-producing private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Therefore, the estimated total combined annual cost 
for all surveyed manufacturers associated with the proposed 
requirements is $1,377.50 ($27.55 per hour x 50 hours = $1,377.50). The 
estimated cost of the information collection to the federal government 
is approximately $2,068, which includes 25 CPSC staff hours to examine 
and evaluate the information.
