Deletions
On 7/19/2013 (78 FR 43180), the
Committee for Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published notice of proposed deletions
from the Procurement List.
After consideration of the relevant
matter presented, the Committee has
determined that the services listed
below are no longer suitable for
procurement by the Federal Government
under 41 U.S.C. 8501–8506 and 41 CFR
51–2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities.
2. The action may result in
authorizing small entities to provide the
services to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in
connection with the services deleted
from the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following services
are deleted from the Procurement List:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 104(b) of the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of
2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110–314, 122
Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), requires
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (Commission or CPSC) to
promulgate consumer product safety
standards for durable infant or toddler
products. These standards are to be
‘‘substantially the same as’’ applicable
voluntary standards or more stringent
than the voluntary standard if the
Commission concludes that more
stringent requirements would further
reduce the risk of injury associated with
the product. On June 4, 2010, the
Commission issued a safety standard for
infant bath seats that incorporated by
reference the voluntary standard for
infant bath seats issued by ASTM
International, ASTM F1967–08a, with
some modifications to further reduce
the risk of injury associated with infant
bath seats. 75 FR 31691. On July 31,
2012, the Commission adopted the
revised ASTM standard for infant bath
seats, ASTM F1967–11a. 77 FR 45242.
The requirements for infant bath seats
are set forth under 16 CFR part 1215.
Sections 8.6 and 9 of ASTM F1967–
11a contain requirements for marking,
labeling, and instructional literature,
which may be considered to be
collections of information. Section 8.6
of ASTM F1967–11a requires:
• The name of the manufacturer,
distributor, or seller and either the place
of business (city, state, and mailing
address, including zip code), or
telephone number, or both; and
• a code mark or other means that
identifies the date (month and year, as
a minimum) of manufacture.
Section 9 of ASTM F1967–11a
requires infant bath seats to be provided
with instructions regarding assembly,
maintenance, cleaning, storage, and use,
as well as warnings.
B. Burden Hours
There are seven known firms
supplying infant bath seats to the U.S.
market. All seven firms are assumed to
use labels on both their products and
their packaging; however, modifications
to existing labels may be required to
comply with the ASTM standard. The
estimated time required to make these
modifications is about one hour per
model. On the average, each of the
seven firms supplies approximately two
different models of infant bath seats;
therefore, the estimated burden hours
associated with modified labels is 1
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
53735
hour × 7 firms × 2 models per firm = 14
annual hours.
Section 9 of ASTM F1967–11a
requires instructions to be supplied
with the product. This is a practice that
is usual and customary with infant bath
seats. These are products that generally
require some installation and
maintenance instructions, and any
products sold without such information
would not be able to compete
successfully with products that provide
this information. Any burden associated
with supplying instructions with infant
bath seats would be ‘‘usual and
customary’’ and not within the
definition of ‘‘burden’’ under OMB’s
regulations. 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2).
We estimate that hourly
compensation for the time required to
create and update labels is $27.44, based
on the assumption that sales or office
employees will be modifying the labels
as required (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,’’ March 2013,
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 requirements is
$384 ($27.44 per hour × 14 hours =
$384).
The estimated annual cost of the
information collection requirements to
the federal government is approximately
$3,527, which includes 60 CPSC staff
hours to examine and evaluate the
information, as needed for monitoring
and enforcement. This is based on a GS–
12 level, salaried employee. The average
hourly wage rate for a mid-level salaried
GS–12 employee in the Washington, DC,
metropolitan area (effective as of
January 2011) is $40.80 (GS–12, step 5).
This represents 69.5 percent of total
compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,’’ March 2013,
Table 1, percentage of wages and
salaries for all civilian management,
professional, and related employees,
https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding an
additional 30.5 percent for benefits
brings average hourly compensation for
a mid-range salaried GS–12 employee to
$58.78. Assuming that approximately 60
hours of staff time will be required
annually, the total annual cost of CPSC
staff time to examine and evaluate the
information is estimated at $3,527.
C. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written
comments from all interested persons
about the proposed collection of
information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant
to the following topics:

—whether the estimated burden of the
proposed collection of information is
accurate;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of

requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) to

Commission adopted the revised ASTM standard for infant bath seats,
ASTM F1967-11a. 77 FR 45242. The requirements for infant bath seats are
set forth under 16 CFR part 1215.
Sections 8.6 and 9 of ASTM F1967-11a contain requirements for
marking, labeling, and instructional literature, which may be
considered to be collections of information. Section 8.6 of ASTM F1967-
11a requires:
The name of the manufacturer, distributor, or seller and
either the place of business (city, state, and mailing address,
including zip code), or telephone number, or both; and
a code mark or other means that identifies the date (month
and year, as a minimum) of manufacture.
Section 9 of ASTM F1967-11a requires infant bath seats to be
provided with instructions regarding assembly, maintenance, cleaning,
storage, and use, as well as warnings.
B. Burden Hours
There are seven known firms supplying infant bath seats to the U.S.
market. All seven firms are assumed to use labels on both their
products and their packaging; however, modifications to existing labels
may be required to comply with the ASTM standard. The estimated time
required to make these modifications is about one hour per model. On
the average, each of the seven firms supplies approximately two
different models of infant bath seats; therefore, the estimated burden
hours associated with modified labels is 1 hour x 7 firms x 2 models
per firm = 14 annual hours.
Section 9 of ASTM F1967-11a requires instructions to be supplied

We estimate that hourly compensation for the time required to
create and update labels is $27.44, based on the assumption that sales
or office employees will be modifying the labels as required (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation,'' March 2013, 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 requirements is $384 ($27.44 per hour x 14 hours = $384).
The estimated annual cost of the information collection
requirements to the federal government is approximately $3,527, which
includes 60 CPSC staff hours to examine and evaluate the information,
as needed for monitoring and enforcement. This is based on a GS-12
level, salaried employee. The average hourly wage rate for a mid-level
salaried GS-12 employee in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area
(effective as of January 2011) is $40.80 (GS-12, step 5). This
represents 69.5 percent of total compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' March 2013,
Table 1, percentage of wages and salaries for all civilian management,
professional, and related employees, https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding
