SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Proposed Collection of Information
Section 108(b)(2)(A) of the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of
2008 (CPSIA) (Pub. L. 110–314) requires
the Commission to begin the process of
appointing a CHAP pursuant to 15
U.S.C. 2077 to study the effects on
children’s health of all phthalates and
phthalate alternatives as used in
children’s toys and child care articles.
Section 108(b)(2)(B) of the CPSIA
specifies what the panel is to examine
and requires the panel to complete its
examination within 18 months after its
appointment. The panel must report to
the CPSC no later than 180 days after
completing its examination, and, no
later than 180 days after receiving the
panel’s report, the CPSC must
promulgate a final rule to determine
whether an interim prohibition on three
specific phthalates should remain in
effect and evaluate the panel’s findings
and recommendation.
In order to establish the CHAP and
execute the mandatory rulemaking
within the statutory deadlines imposed
under the CPSIA, the CPSC requests
emergency processing of the collection
of information under section 3507(j) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3507(j) and 5 CFR
1320.13). The CPSC will provide a
questionnaire to 27 panel candidates to
identify potential conflicts of interest.
With respect to this collection of
information, the CPSC estimates the
burden of this collection will be
approximately 1 hour. The total
estimated burden to all candidates is 27
hours. The annual reporting cost is
estimated to be $1,481.76. This estimate
is based on the estimated total burden
hours for responding to the
questionnaire (27 hours) multiplied by
an estimated wage (Bureau of Labor
Statistics: All workers, good-producing
industries, management, professional
and related, September 2008) of $54.88
per hour (27 hours × $54.88 per hour =
$1,481.76).
B. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written
comments from all interested persons
about the proposed collection of
