SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C 3507, the
CPSC has submitted a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance of a form that
CPSC staff intends to use when visiting
child care centers to gauge compliance
with the CPSC’s crib safety standards.
On December 28, 2010, we issued a final
rule establishing safety standards for
full-size and non-full-size baby cribs in
response to the direction under section
104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act (CPSIA) (75 FR
81766). Section 104(c) of the CPSIA
specifies that the crib standards apply to
anyone who manufactures, distributes,
or contracts to sell a crib; to child care
facilities, and others holding themselves
out to be knowledgeable about cribs; to
anyone who leases, sublets, or otherwise
places a crib in the stream of commerce;
and to owners and operators of places
of public accommodation affecting
commerce.
The CPSC is seeking OMB approval of
a ‘‘Verification of Compliance Form’’
that CPSC staff intends to use when
visiting child care centers to measure
compliance with the crib safety
standards. CPSC investigators or
designated state or local government
officials will use the form, which will be
filled out entirely at the site during the
normal course of the visit. The
Commission intends to use the
information to measure compliance
with the crib safety standards and to
develop an enforcement strategy. We
intend to begin with a pilot program in
2012, which would involve conducting
visits to approximately 70 child care
centers in seven states. Depending on
the results of the pilot program, we
would expand the program in 2013,
although expansion of the program’s
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

size would depend upon the availability
of CPSC resources.
In the Federal Register of April 16,
2012 (77 FR 22564), we published a
notice announcing the CPSC’s intention
to seek approval of a collection of
information related to the CPSC’s safety
standards for cribs. We received 23
comments in response to the notice.
Most comments discussed the crib
standards generally, but did not address
issues related to this collection of
information. Two discussed the
accuracy of our estimates or the burden
of the proposed collection of
information. Both of these commenters
stated that 15 minutes may not be
sufficient when identifying how long
these inspections will take to perform.
CPSC staff believes that, while some
inspections may take longer than 15
minutes, some will also take less time
to conduct. CPSC staff considers the 15
minutes an appropriate estimate of the
average length of time for inspection
under this program. One comment
provided suggestions for the pilot
program and its documentation.
However, we believe that the form
requests all of the applicable
information needed to gauge crib
compliance.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows: The
CPSC estimates that there may be
approximately 70 inspections during the
pilot program in 2012. Because the
investigators will be talking to the child
care facility staff at the time of the
inspection and asking questions to help
complete the form, CPSC staff estimates
that the burden hours for child care
facility staff to respond to the questions
will be approximately a quarter of an
hour, per inspection. Thus, the
estimated total annual burden hours for
respondents are approximately 17.5
hours (70 inspections × a quarter of an
hour per inspection). CPSC staff
estimates that the annualized cost to all
respondents is approximately $383.43,
based on an hourly wage of $21.91 per
hour ($21.91 × 17.5). (Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS), total compensation for
all workers, sales and office for serviceproducing industries, Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation Table 9,
September 2011).
CPSC staff estimates that it will take
an average of a quarter of an hour to
review the information collected. The
annual cost to the federal government of
the collection of information in these
regulations is estimated to be $704.26.
This is based on an average wage rate of
$28.13 (the equivalent of a GS–9 Step 5
employee). This represents 69.9 percent
of total compensation (Bureau of Labor
Statistics, September 2011, percentage

43812
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 144 / Thursday, July 26, 2012 / Notices
wages and salaries for all civilian
management, professional, and related
employees, Table 1). Adding an
additional 30.1 percent for benefits
brings the average hourly compensation
for a GS–9 Step 5 employee to $40.24.
Thus, 35 hours for conducting and
reviewing (17.5 hours plus 17.5 hours)
the information multiplied against an
hourly compensation figure of $40.24
results in an estimated cost to the
government of $1,408.40.
