CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

[Docket No. CPSC 2009-0066]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Recordkeeping 
Requirements Under the Safety Standard for Infant Walkers

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of April 19, 2013 (76 FR 23544), 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 an approval of information collection for the 
recordkeeping requirements in the safety standard for infant walkers, 
16 CFR part 1216.
    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 those collections of information, without 
change.

DATES: Fax comments to OMB not later than August 5, 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 [email protected]. All 
comments should be identified by Docket No. CPSC-2009-0066. In 
addition, written comments also should be submitted at: http://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Request for Renewal of Approval of 
Collections of Information. Section 9.1 of ASTM F977-07 (which has been 
incorporated by reference in the safety standard for infant walkers, 16 
CFR part 1216) requires infant walkers to be provided with easy-to-read 
instructions regarding assembly, maintenance, cleaning, and use.
    There are 16 known firms supplying infant walkers to the U.S. 
market. All 16 firms are assumed to use labels already on both their 
products and their packaging, but they might need to make some 
modifications to their existing labels as a result of the mandatory 
rule. The estimated time required to make these modifications is about 
one hour per model. Each of these firms supplies an average of four 
different models of infant walkers; therefore, the estimated burden 
hours associated with labels is 1 hour x 16 firms x 4 models per firm = 
64 annual hours.
    Section 9.1 of ASTM F977-07 requires instructions to be supplied 
with the product. Supplying instructions with infant walkers is a usual 
and customary practice, as these products generally require some 
assembly, often necessitating instruction. There are no burden hours 
associated with the instruction requirement in section 9.1 because any 
burden associated with supplying instructions with infant walkers would 
be ``usual and customary'' and not within the definition of ``burden'' 
under OMB's regulations.
    CPSC staff estimates that hourly compensation for the time required 
to create and update labels is $27.12 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 
``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' December 2012, Table 9, 
total compensation for all sales and office workers in goods-producing 
private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Therefore, the estimated 
annual cost associated with the proposed requirements is $1,736 ($27.12 
per hour x 64 hours = $1,736).

    Dated: July 1, 2013.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
