SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide E:\FR\FM\02JNN1.SGM 02JNN1 30784 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 2, 2010 / Notices information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, the CPSC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, the CPSC invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of CPSC’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Title: Safety Standard for Infant Bath Seats—16 CFR 1215 Description: The rule would require each infant bath seat to comply with ASTM F 1967–08a, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Bath Seats.’’ Sections 8 and 9 of ASTM F 1967–08a contain requirements for marking and instructional literature. We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN Number of respondents 16 CFR section sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES 1215.2(a) .............................................................................. There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Our estimates are based on the following: Proposed 16 CFR 1215.2(a) would require each infant bath seat to comply with ASTM F 1967–08a. Sections 8 and 9 of ASTM F 1967–08a contain requirements for marking and instructional literature that are disclosure requirements, thus falling within the definition of ‘‘collections of information’’ at 5 CFR 1320.3(c). Section 8.6.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a requires that the name and ‘‘either the place of business (city, State, and mailing address, including zip code) or telephone number, or both’’ of the manufacturer, distributor, or seller be clearly and legibly marked on ‘‘each product and its retail package.’’ Section 8.6.2 of ASTM F 1967–08a requires that ‘‘a code mark or other means that identifies the date (month and year as a minimum) of manufacture’’ be clearly and legibly marked on ‘‘each product and its retail package.’’ In both cases, the information must be placed on both the product and the retail package. There are three known firms supplying bath seats to the United States market. One of the three firms is known to already produce labels that comply with sections 8.6.1 and 8.6.2 of the standard, so there would be no additional burden on this firm. The remaining two firms are assumed to already use labels on both their products and their packaging, but might need to make some modifications to their existing labels. The estimated time required to make these modifications is about 30 minutes per model. Each of these firms supplies an average of one model of infant bath seat, therefore, the VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:08 Jun 01, 2010 Jkt 220001 Frequency of responses 2 1 estimated burden hours associated with labels is 30 minutes × 2 firms × 1 model per firm = 60 minutes or 1 annual hour. The Commission estimates that hourly compensation for the time required to create and update labels is $27.78 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2009, all workers, goodsproducing industries, Sales and office, Table 9). Therefore, the estimated annual cost associated with the Commission-recommended labeling requirements is approximately $27.78. Section 9.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a requires instructions to be supplied with the product. Infant bath seats are products that generally require some installation and maintenance, and products sold without such information would not be able to successfully compete with products supplying this information. Under OMB’s regulations (5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2)), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to comply with a collection of information that would be incurred by persons in the ‘‘normal course of their activities’’ are excluded from a burden estimate where an agency demonstrates that the disclosure activities needed to comply are ‘‘usual and customary.’’ Therefore, because the CPSC is unaware of infant bath seats that: (a) Generally require some installation, but (b) lack any instructions to the user about such installation, we tentatively estimate that there are no burden hours associated with the instruction requirement in section 9.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a because any burden associated with supplying instructions with an infant bath seat would be ‘‘usual and customary’’ and not within the definition of ‘‘burden’’ under OMB’s regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide

information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day 
notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, the CPSC is publishing notice of the 
proposed collection of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, the CPSC 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of CPSC's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of CPSC's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
    Title: Safety Standard for Infant Bath Seats--16 CFR 1215
    Description: The rule would require each infant bath seat to comply 
with ASTM F 1967-08a, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant 
Bath Seats.'' Sections 8 and 9 of ASTM F 1967-08a contain requirements 
for marking and instructional literature.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

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

    There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs 
associated with this collection of information.
    Our estimates are based on the following:
    Proposed 16 CFR 1215.2(a) would require each infant bath seat to 
comply with ASTM F 1967-08a. Sections 8 and 9 of ASTM F 1967-08a 
contain requirements for marking and instructional literature that are 
disclosure requirements, thus falling within the definition of 
``collections of information'' at 5 CFR 1320.3(c).
    Section 8.6.1 of ASTM F 1967-08a requires that the name and 
``either the place of business (city, State, and mailing address, 
including zip code) or telephone number, or both'' of the manufacturer, 
distributor, or seller be clearly and legibly marked on ``each product 
and its retail package.'' Section 8.6.2 of ASTM F 1967-08a requires 
that ``a code mark or other means that identifies the date (month and 
year as a minimum) of manufacture'' be clearly and legibly marked on 
``each product and its retail package.'' In both cases, the information 
must be placed on both the product and the retail package.
    There are three known firms supplying bath seats to the United 
States market. One of the three firms is known to already produce 
labels that comply with sections 8.6.1 and 8.6.2 of the standard, so 
there would be no additional burden on this firm. The remaining two 
firms are assumed to already use labels on both their products and 
their packaging, but might need to make some modifications to their 
existing labels. The estimated time required to make these 
modifications is about 30 minutes per model. Each of these firms 
supplies an average of one model of infant bath seat, therefore, the 
estimated burden hours associated with labels is 30 minutes x 2 firms x 
1 model per firm = 60 minutes or 1 annual hour.
    The Commission estimates that hourly compensation for the time 
required to create and update labels is $27.78 (Bureau of Labor 
Statistics, September 2009, all workers, goods-producing industries, 
Sales and office, Table 9). Therefore, the estimated annual cost 
associated with the Commission-recommended labeling requirements is 
approximately $27.78.
    Section 9.1 of ASTM F 1967-08a requires instructions to be supplied 
with the product. Infant bath seats are products that generally require 
some installation and maintenance, and products sold without such 
information would not be able to successfully compete with products 
supplying this information. Under OMB's regulations (5 CFR 
1320.3(b)(2)), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to 
comply with a collection of information that would be incurred by 
persons in the ``normal course of their activities'' are excluded from 
a burden estimate where an agency demonstrates that the disclosure 
activities needed to comply are ``usual and customary.'' Therefore, 
because the CPSC is unaware of infant bath seats that: (a) Generally 
require some installation, but (b) lack any instructions to the user 
about such installation, we tentatively estimate that there are no 
burden hours associated with the instruction requirement in section 9.1 
of ASTM F 1967-08a because any burden associated with supplying 
instructions with an infant bath seat would be ``usual and customary'' 
and not within the definition of ``burden'' under OMB's regulations.
    Based on this analysis, the requirements of the bath seat rule 
would impose a burden to industry of 1 hour at a cost of $27.78.
