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. The Commission issued
safety standards for full-size and nonfull-size baby cribs in response to the
direction contained in section 104(b) of
the CPSIA.
1. Full-Size Cribs
On December 28, 2010, the
Commission published a final rule for
full-size cribs that incorporated by
reference ASTM F1169–10, Standard
Consumer Safety Specification for FullSize Baby Cribs, with modifications. 75
FR 81766. On December 9, 2013, the
Commission adopted the revised ASTM
standard for full-size cribs, ASTM
F1169–13, which was codified at 16
CFR part 1219. 78 FR 73692.
Sections 8 and 9 of the ASTM F1169–
13 contain requirements for marking,
labeling, and instructional literature that
fall within the definition of ‘‘collections
of information’’ at 5 C.F.R. § 1320.3(c).
Section 9 of ASTM F1169–13 also
requires full-size cribs to be provided
with instructions regarding assembly,
maintenance, cleaning, storage, and use,
an assembly drawing, a list and
description of all parts and tools
required for assembly, and a full-size
diagram of the required bolts and other
fasteners, as well as a variety of
warnings.
2. Non-Full-Size Cribs
On December 28, 2010, in the final
rule on full-size cribs, the Commission
also addressed non-full-size cribs. The
Commission incorporated by reference
ASTM F 406–10a, Standard Consumer
Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size
Baby Cribs, with modifications, which
was codified at 16 CFR part 1220. 75 FR
81766.
Sections 9 and 10 of ASTM F406–10a,
contain requirements for marking,
labeling, and instructional literature that
E:\FR\FM\24DEN1.SGM
24DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 24, 2013 / Notices
fall within the definition of ‘‘collections
of information’’ at 5 C.F.R. § 1320.3(c).
Section 10 of ASTM F406–10a also
requires non-full-size cribs to be
provided with instructions regarding
assembly, maintenance, cleaning,
storage, and use, as well as a variety of
warnings.
B. Total Burden Hours
1. Crib Suppliers
There are 78 known firms supplying
full-size cribs to the U.S. market and 24
supplying non-full-size cribs. All firms
are assumed to use compliant labels
already on both their products and their
packaging. If firms needed to make some
modifications to their existing labels the
estimated time required to make these
modifications is about one hour per
model. Each firm supplies
approximately 11 different models of
full-size cribs and four different models
of non-full-size cribs; therefore, the
estimated burden hours associated with
the labels is ((1 hour × 78 firms × 11
models per firm) + (1 hour × 24 firms
× 4 models per firm) = 954 annual
hours.
Section 9 of ASTM F1169–11 and
section 10 of ASTM F406–10a require
instructions to be supplied with the
product. This is a practice that is usual
and customary with both full-size and
non-full-size cribs. Cribs 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 fullsize cribs and non-full-size cribs 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 $27.66 (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
June 2013, Table 9, total compensation
for all sales and office workers in goodsproducing private industries: https://
www.bls.gov/ncs/). Therefore, the
estimated annual cost associated with
the proposed requirements is $26,388
($27.66 per hour × 954 hours).

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 collection of information
described above is necessary for the
proper performance of the
Commission’s functions, including
whether the information would have
practical utility;

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Department of Defense/

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The estimated annual cost of the
information collection requirements to
the federal government is approximately
$3,527, which includes 60 staff hours to
examine and evaluate the information as
needed for Compliance activities. This
is based on a GS–12 level salaried
employee. The average hourly wage rate
VerDate Mar<15>2010
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
69.4 percent of total compensation (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
June 2013, Table 1, percentage of wages
and salaries for all civilian management,
professional, and related employees,
https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding an
additional 30.6 percent for benefits
brings average hourly compensation for
a mid-range salaried GS–12 employee to
$58.78. Assuming that approximately 60
hours will be required annually, this
results in an annual cost of $3,527.

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

non-full-size baby cribs in response to the direction contained in
section 104(b) of the CPSIA.
1. Full-Size Cribs
On December 28, 2010, the Commission published a final rule for
full-size cribs that incorporated by reference ASTM F1169-10, Standard
Consumer Safety Specification for Full-Size Baby Cribs, with

the revised ASTM standard for full-size cribs, ASTM F1169-13, which was
codified at 16 CFR part 1219. 78 FR 73692.
Sections 8 and 9 of the ASTM F1169-13 contain requirements for
marking, labeling, and instructional literature that fall within the
definition of ``collections of information'' at 5 C.F.R. Sec.
1320.3(c). Section 9 of ASTM F1169-13 also requires full-size cribs to

incorporated by reference ASTM F 406-10a, Standard Consumer Safety

was codified at 16 CFR part 1220. 75 FR 81766.
Sections 9 and 10 of ASTM F406-10a, contain requirements for

fall within the definition of ``collections of information'' at 5
C.F.R. Sec. 1320.3(c). Section 10 of ASTM F406-10a also requires non-
full-size cribs to be provided with instructions regarding assembly,
maintenance, cleaning, storage, and use, as well as a variety of

B. Total Burden Hours
1. Crib Suppliers
There are 78 known firms supplying full-size cribs to the U.S.
market and 24 supplying non-full-size cribs. All firms are assumed to
use compliant labels already on both their products and their
packaging. If firms needed to make some modifications to their existing
labels the estimated time required to make these modifications is about
one hour per model. Each firm supplies approximately 11 different
models of full-size cribs and four different models of non-full-size
cribs; therefore, the estimated burden hours associated with the labels
is ((1 hour x 78 firms x 11 models per firm) + (1 hour x 24 firms x 4
models per firm) = 954 annual hours.
Section 9 of ASTM F1169-11 and section 10 of ASTM F406-10a require
instructions to be supplied with the product. This is a practice that
is usual and customary with both full-size and non-full-size cribs.
Cribs are products that generally require some installation and

instructions with full-size cribs and non-full-size cribs 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 $27.66 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' June 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 proposed requirements is $26,388
($27.66 per hour x 954 hours).
2. Federal Government
The estimated annual cost of the information collection
requirements to the federal government is approximately $3,527, which
includes 60 staff hours to examine and evaluate the information as
needed for Compliance activities. 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 69.4 percent of total compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' June 2013,
Table 1, percentage of wages and salaries for all civilian management,
professional, and related employees, https://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding
an additional 30.6 percent for benefits brings average hourly
compensation for a mid-range salaried GS-12 employee to $58.78.
Assuming that approximately 60 hours will be required annually, this
results in an annual cost of $3,527.
C. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written comments from all interested
