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 × 16 firms × 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: https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Therefore, the estimated annual cost associated with the proposed VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 Jul 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 requirements is $1,736 ($27.12 per hour × 64 hours = $1,736). Dated: July 1, 2013.
